Anyone has any remedies for a sour/upset stomach?

Can you be a little more specific? Do you feel nauseous? Heartburn? Do you mean your actual stomach or your belly/abdominal area? (just asking because some people will say "stomach" when they mean the latter). Do you know what causes it?

For nausea ginger is good. Personally I like the ginger tablets you can buy, like Gravol makes a natural ginger version.

If you provide some more details I could provide more suggestions :)

Keribeth,

I like coca-cola syrup. I first heard about it when I was having morning sickness, and it sure works for me. You just pour a couple of tablespoons over ice and sip it slowly.

Pharmacies usually have it, but for some reaon, they keep it behind the counter. It's pretty cheap.

Hope you feel better.

Hi Keri,

I have a very sensitive stomach. I have to stay away from acidic foods, spicy foods, and fatty foods like fast foods.

There are other foods I've given up also that affect me like soy sauce. What I usually do is eat a healthy diet, a clean diet then I'm able to tell which foods I'm sensitive too.

Unfortunately for me having a stomach ache at night makes it harder for me to sleep. And a stomach ache seems to make my fibro pain worse.

A little flat gingerale or 7-Up (stirred to remove the bubbles, then left to stand for a bit) usually helps me.

I also make my own ginger tea from gingerroot. I buy it in the produce section at Wal-mart. It's fairly easy to peel, then I cut it up in small pieces (one inch or less), after discarding the peel. I keep the pieces in a jar in the freezer, and just 'chisel out' a piece or two, which I put in a microwavable cup, add water, and microwave a couple of minutes. I should warn you, though, that it can be quite strong. If you're not feeling well, you may have to add more water.

Hope you are better very soon! :)

once it's upset, all you want to do is curl up in bed with a hot water bottle. As "Almost Medfree" said, prevention is the way to go, get to know what your tummy dislike and avoid it as much as possible. I've got gall stones, it's been managable for the last 2-3 months. For some reason, I managed to triggered it last night. Am currently trying to recall what has changed last few days that may have cause the gallbladder to release a stone.

Thank you for the responses. There has been an extreme weather change where I live, so it has been an overall bad fibro day! Hope to feel better tomorrow.
