:( Argh! What is the best thing to take for an upset stomach?!? Anyone have any great home remedies?

I usually have a glass of 7-up

Try valarian root.....works like a charm for me.

tums, or flat gingerale. and sleep.

Pepto Bismol! Go with the pink!

ugh.. I am feeling better today. I either have the flu or I accidentally took to many meds last night. I am still a bit queezy but overall much better;0)!

Smoke some marijuana - it really settles the smooth muscle tissues

LOL, speaking from experience there, eh? ;)

A veritable font of experience

I'll have to agree with es123fan, if the trouble you have is nausea and cramps. works like a charm.

I wasn't sure what type of upset stomach you mean?

If it is acid, from a pharmaceutical view I'd have to suggest ranitidine (zantac). It's very safe and my daughter who has gastric reflux has found releif from regular use. You can get it at the drugstore, or can have liquid prescribed, or stronger dose prescribed. if you have nothing swig a big glass of milk!

If your upset stomach involve the lower abdominal area (subtle?) I'd have to say immodium (or a percocet!) Or a banana.

Or if the problem isn't moving along I would suggest lactulaose or senokot. Both are naturally derived, are gentle (non dehydrating) on your stomach. okay I'll stop now,

hope you continue to feel better, sorry for droning on:D

does valerian root make you sleepy? that's what i know it to be used as. never tried it for the tummy.....cool!

I just started taking high blood pressure meds. I am also on Armour (a Synthetic harmone derived from pigs), and Effexor, because I do not have a thyroid I suffer from depression and hypothyroidism.

I thought I took my meds, but I felt a bit nausiated. So I thought maybe I had forgotten to take my Effexor. So I took one at about 10pm. I normally take them in the morning.

I was up getting sick at the minimum of thirty times last night. I am still a bit sick now, but nothing like last night. I think I may have over done it with the Effexor. I really thought I was going to have to go to the ER last night.

My husband is also sick with the flu. So I am not sure really what was causing me to be so sick.

I had a dry piece of toast, and a glass of 7up. Hubby is suppose to bring me some Pepto home tonight.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I will make sure I have something on hand next time. I have never heard of the valerian root, but I will check into that.

PINK STUFF

or find some charcoal

;) Valarain root is an herbal anti spasmodic ..... it soothes and stomach and intestinal tract .... great for sleep also...

Peppermint

I will also take papya before my evening meal as a way to break down food more effectively. It stimulates the flow of enzymes.;)
