Sick Stomach? Try This

• Chronic constipation
• Indigestion
• Excessive gas
• Food poisoning
• Ulcers
• Appendicitis
• Inflammation of the gallbladder
• Kidney stones
• Urinary tract infections
• Hernia

While some of these causes can be serious, sometimes an upset stomach is just that - a sick stomach. If you suffer from an occasional stomachache, here are some natural ways to remedy the ache:

Natural Remedies for Stomachache

Think tea! Add lemon and, if needed, some honey.

Eat an apple. Cut it up, keep the skin on, sprinkle with a little sugar and ground ginger. Heat it in the microwave for 40-45 seconds and eat warm.

Lime sherbet and lemon-lime soda. Place a few scoops of sherbet in a glass and add some soda. Great for kids.

Drink constant sips of either lukewarm or very warm water, but don’t drink it fast.

If you can, try drinking a teaspoon of vinegar.

Flat cola soda is also a helpful remedy.

To Avoid Stomachaches:

Drink water and lots of it. Water helps ensure smooth bowel movements.

Avoid processed food like cheese, chocolate, and dairy products.

Eat a balanced diet with plenty of dark green leafy vegetables.

Stay active. A morning walk can help keep your digestive system healthy.

Get enough rest – remember balance is the key.
