Question

Are there any natural remedies for an upset stomach?

Answer 1

There are many reasons for upset stomach.  Therefore I'll give you a few remedies that you may choose from.

Ensure that your bowel is active.  Constipation problem can cause the digestive system to become clogged and so result in the slowing down of digestion.  This can result in the formation of gas which in turn causes upset stomach.  To ensure free bowel movement eat fruits and vegetables that are high in fiber.  Cabbage is excellent.

Other remedies are:

Lime or lemon juice

Lime or lemon water

Orange juice

Grapefruit juice

Ginger steeped in boiling water

Real ginger bear

Nutmeg steeped in boiling water

papaya

If you're pregnant the papaya will work to prevent upset stomach.

Answer 2

There are a few remedies but they affect people differently.

My mother in law always tells me to have peppermint for a stomach an upset stomach. This remedy works for me but not my husband. So it may or may not work for you. However it is an old remedy so give it a try..try regular peppermint candies (the easiest and probably the fastest), mint teas, or even chew on fresh mint leaves.

Answer 3

My grandfather said they always used candied ginger.  You want to use candied because straight ginger is way to strong as far as taste.

Ginger tea will also work.

Answer 4

is baking soda and water "natural" enough?

Answer 5

Slippery elm powder, ginger root (especially if nausea is involved), chamomile tea, catnip tea.  Aloe vera juice or gel is good, make sure you get a really good, 100% organic brand instead of the watered down stuff they sell at some big chain superstores.  One guy told me that he suffered from really bad Crohn's disease and could get no relief from meds, doctors and etc., and drinking aloe vera juice daily completely cured him.  Charcoal caps are good if gas is involved.  Hope this helps, take and God bless u.  

Answer 6

fizzy water, you can also try ginger ale (not really natural but it is easy and it works)
