Watermelon stomach

Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE, also called watermelon stomach) is an uncommon cause of chronic gastrointestinal bleeding. It causes dilated blood vessels in the last part of the stomach. It is also called watermelon stomach because streaky long red areas that are present in the stomach may (but not always) resemble the markings on watermelon.

Good picks for picky eaters - EatRight News
From Shape, 3/1/04

Can't stomach spinach? Salmon too expensive? Broccoli make you hold your nose? These foods and 11 others profiled in SuperFoods Rx: Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life, by Steven Pratt, M.D., and Kathy Matthews (William Morrow, 2004), have been shown to help prevent a variety of illnesses, including heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Fortunately, 12 of the 14 have readily available alternatives that provide most if not all of the same health benefits. (Tea and beans are the two superfoods with no comparable cousins.) Here's a list to take to the store with you. --S.C.
