What do you do for an upset stomach?

I get a big glass of Coke and relax in my bed, sitting up, and watch tv or read a book. Something to get my mind off the tummyache.

My stomach is rarely upset. Usually if I do it's due to food poisoning, and it's severe. If it's severe I'll try to vomit or go to the bathroom.

Otherwise I just try not to do again whatever I did that made me feel bad.

I usually eat some chicken soup and lay down.

Eat bland stuff, stay away from dairy because it makes it worse. Sometimes nothing helps when my IBS decides to flair up. I just have to let it run it's course.

Sleep,if I can I throw up,take some herbal tea (what herb it depends on the nature of the upsetting),try to stay warm and sweat,try to lay motionless.

You drink coke when your stomach is upset?

Also,I eliminate animal proteins for a while if it's more intestinal (i know,they say that when you have diarrhea you should eat them and not eat vegetables.well I work upside down it seems.),if it's like gastritis instead I eliminate other foods for a few days.

i dont get upset stomachs but i belch and fart alot.

It depends. I keep Alka-Seltzer, Tums and Pepto-Bismol on hand. Which one or ones I use for any given stomach upset depends on the specific symptoms.

It depends on what kind of upset stomach.
If it's acid reflux or acid indigestion, I'll take Maalox or Prevacid.
I'll live with the gas until it passes.
I don't usually have a problem with constipation, I eat enough fruit.
If I'm nauseous, I'd probably either sleep through it if I'm at home or tough my way through it if I'm at work.

I had food poisoning once from some bad roasted nuts. It was awful. I finally had to make myself puke so I would feel better, but I still had stomach cramps to the point I was doubled up in pain.

I find ginger ale helps -- I get the fizz out first by pouring it from one glass into another enough times that it no longer fizzes. There is something about ginger that is supposed to help. Sometimes if my kids are nauseous I might give them a kid's gravol pill to help ease that horrible feeling.

I basically lived on maalox for years.Oh,sweet memories

it's pretty horrible

nothing...i ignore it and don't put any energy into the fact that i have one...deal w/ it for there will always be another one i'm sure

Usually just wait it out. It happens often enough that I'm good at dealing with it. Chamomile tea helps sometimes.

Nothing really. I just wait for it to go.

tough it out

I usually drink some Sprite or 7UP

It varies. For indigestion, I take antacids. For diarrhea, I take Immodium. For vomiting, I sip ginger ale.

hey, shouldnt there be an option for puke?

As far I am concerned, I just try to ignore it and hope it goes away quickly.

poop.

Take ibuprofen and suck it up.

The pink stuff.

Yeah, when we were little, my friend's grandmother used to put Coca-Cola syrup over ice and make us suck on it, like a snowball, if we had a tummyache. There's something in the syrup that eases upset stomachs. Sometimes, the carbonation has a different effect than just the syrup but it doesn't seem to bother me.

I take medicines like tums or gas-x, whichever seems appropriate. If it's worse than that I take pepto-bismol.

nothing most of the time, or I just lay down for a bit.

well... they asked .

My stomach doesn't really get upset anymore. I suffer a lot with nausea but I don't believe that comes from a problem with my stomach. I also experience bowel related problems sometimes, but again, that's not my stomach.

I'm assuming this was before Prevacid was available?

What's prevacid?

Yes, they did! *still laughing*

I tend to think of bowel related problems as an upset stomach, but you've made me realize that's not correct at all. I seldom have actual stomach problems -- iron gut, I guess. It's after it leaves my stomach that the problems start!

I take Protonix for acid reflux.If its the stomich flue I try to sleep it off. Sometimes I take Gas X or Imodium.

It's a prescription strength acid reducer. It's a pill. You take it 45 minutes to an hour before you eat something that might bother you. It turns off some of the acid producing pumps in your stomach. But if you already have acid damage, it won't help with that.

I find Appletise or Grapetise or any other carbonated fruit juice settles my stomach. (sugar free)

I nibbled on crystalized ginger when I was pregnant for morning sickness. Helps.

I usually rub my stomach when it's upset.

rub my belly
