Tums or Pepto-Bismol?
Ok, my stomach is doing flip-flops right now. I really feel sort of nauseuous. It must have been something I ate today. Ugh.

Anyway, what do you take for an upset stomach? What's best? I don't usually have this kind of problem...but right now...it's just bothering me.

Thanks in advance,
T

14. Did you guys notice the other side effect?
Or should I say "other end effect."

Without giving TMI it'll turn stuff black. (shudder)

9. I have found that if the problem
was caused by greasy food Phazyme works really well and very quickly.


Hope you're feeling better.

12. Peppermint tea, if you've got it
But, strangely enough, if you've got some mentholated cough drops - like Hall's - they'll work just as well.

17. Tums or other Calcium-Based Antacids
I occasionally have that problem and tums or antacids seem to work just fine. If it's really bad, you can take a pinch of baking soda and wash it down with a few sips of cold water. Hope you feel better quick!

20. Try something with mint in it - gum, peppermint, whatever. Also -
try room-temperature 7-up and a few saltines. Sip - do not gulp.

And I'll agree that Pepto makes me puke - EVERY TIME.
