Sick Stomach? Try This
Stomachaches and pains can be caused by many things, including:- 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.

And as always, if the pain is severe or lasts long, consult your doctor.
