What is the healthiest way to help with an upset stomach?
Depends on the reason for it! Try a Mint herbal tea! I, also, find that thick , non-acidic, nectar-type of juices help a great deal! Such as Pure Mango, Guava, Lychee, Pear, Apricot and Peach! Make sure to read the list of ingredients and no acidic juices had been added! You can combine the above mentioned, if you like, but not others juices to dilute the thickness.. Also, the Greek (thick) yoghurt and Kefir, or buttermilk..If these things do not help, and you have pain, more discomort.. Try the anti-acids, liquid ones are better, such as Maalox to coat your stomach! Do consult a pharmacist, they are very knowledgeable.. And if you keep getting an upset stomach, review the foods you eat, and consult your Doctor! Some people are sensitive to the rich, fatty, acidic, gassy, hard- to-digest foods.. So, pay attention when your stomach is upset and what you ate, and how long after you ate your tummy starts complaining, etc.. Keep notes..Do you have any other symptoms, such as bloating, diarrhea, any pain, acid reflux, etc? Your Doctor would want to know..
Help! I have severe stomach ulcer! What should I eat in order for my stomach not to hurt? It hurts so bad if I eat or even drink!?
Last 2 weeks, I have been drinking mt. dew, coke, lemonade and juice all day long, and just a little water. I also always skip meals since I lose appetite, drinking coke instead. Since Monday, my stomach really really hurts so bad. The main is in the upper adbomen like I'm gonna have a heart attack. It's really painful, I'm having fever and my mind is spinning from the pain. I think I'm gonna pass out. I just lie on the bed whole day since it really hurts to stand up. When I stand up, I walk very slowly like an old man. I can't even sleep well since it hurts so bad especially if I move. I have been taking sodium bicarbonate liquid since Monday, but it doesnt seem to be helping. I just drank the capsule one 3 hrs ago, and there seems to be no improvement also. Worst, it really hurts so bad if I eat or drink! The pain really wosens I think Im gonna die. I dont want to skip my meals either since it could get worst. I read from websites, the stomach lining wound gets punctured once touched by the food or water I take thus making the pain worst. I tried eating oatmeal, and it helps but I can't eat oatmeal for the whole day, right? So what diet should I be following while I have ulcer? What foods to eat and avoid?
Why do I get indescribable pain in my stomach area for no reason that goes away only when I force myself to vomit?
Seems to be a case of severe hyperacidity. My personal experience. Basic problem indigestion. Totally avoid oily, fried, spicy food for few days. Consume nonspicy, non oily smple food for easy digestion. Use of lot of liquid buttermilk(prepared from just matured curds, lemon sherbat, sweet mosambi, oranges, coconut water helps. Mixture of equal quantity lemon juice, wet ginger extract(not dry ginger), honey _half spoon 20 minutes before meals_donot swallow immediately, just put on tongue for drip by drip consumption. Donot use antacids on your own . For proper advice and consult your family doctor. Best luck.

Extreme bloating and stomach discomfort?
2 days ago, I was having sulfuric/egg-like burps with minor stomach bloating. Today, my stomach is absolutely huge.

I've already taken pepto-bismol but the problem persists. What's wrong?!

Extreme small intestine pain, Please Read!?
You've got tight muscles in your back that are pressing onto the nerves going to the intestines to give you that pain. You have to free up your back muscles to get rid of it and here's how to free them up: Back: (do from a sitting position) Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front and firmly pull down on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side. Your feeling faint is caused by tight neck muscles. When the neck muscles are tight they restrict everything going in and out of your head, including the blood. When there is a reduced blood flow to the brain you will have a lowered oxygen level there as well. You will know when the oxygen level has dropped when you feel very tired. If the level drops more you will get dizzy, light headed. And more you will pass out. To get rid of this problem you have to free up your neck muscles and here's how to do that: Neck Put your hands alongside your head so your thumbs are on the front of the muscle under your ear and your fingers are on the back of the muscle behind your neck. Squeeze your thumb and fingers together and hold. Relax your body. When your fingers and thumb touch, about two minutes, slowly lower your head as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your neck lowered for another 30 seconds. For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.

I'm suffering from PCOD and I have the problems shown below. What should I do?
PCOS is extremely depressing condition and I'm a fellow sufferer. The main pathology is insulin resistance caused by excess weight especially truncal and PCOS itself causes weight gain so it's kind of a vicious circle. The first thing u need to do is see a good endocrinologist ..u might need to check ur thyroid status too since it's quite common to have both then get a proper treatment plan. Metformin might b prescribed to u which helps greatly in insulin resistance and weight loss when accompanied with exercise and good diet plan. Second most important thing is exercise put in at least 1 hour of cardio in ur routine with sincerity. Take care of ur diet if needed seek help from a nutritionist. Low glycemic index foods are advised, reduce carbs, eat healthy.Now the dermatology issues there's a possibility if u having testerone excess... Laser is a good tool to combat with unwanted hair problem though expensive. U can always find a licensed dermatologist with reduced prices especially if u take large area packages. And they are any day better than high end beauty clinics offering laser services. A few times in a year they even give discounts so keep looking for that. Stretch marks are the worst to deal with ... Nothing can make them disappear only appearance can b improved tht too will b dealt by a dermatologist. There are laser and chemical peels which improve their appearance especially the new ones. For hair fall ... Once ur PCOS (and thyroid) is controlled there will b remarkable improvement. Till then u can use biotin (at least 10 mg) containing multivitamin once a day. If the combination is expensive buy a simple multivitamin n biotin separately. U can even use aminaexil 1.5% and minoxidil 2% combination locally on ur scalp helps immensely with the new thicker hair growth. Reduce stress!!!In short .... See an endocrinologist and dermatologist ASAP Work out Diet B confident n happy...This phase will pass if u take care of yourself and let no one tell u tht u r not beautiful. I hope I'm of some help here!! Take care !!
