Stomach Ache

Incik BF got severe stomach ache... again..

Sometimes I got severe stomach ache that I feel like killing myself too.

So, I've Google the remedies and care to share with you, people I love.

----------------------------------------------

Stretch slowly, breathe in and out at a certain pace.
Drink carbonated beverages, like sprite. Lean on a wall face towards the wall, a burp may help, or even gas.

Visit the toilet.

Lie on your back and rub your stomach up and down.

Your feet must be at a higher level than the rest of your body.
Try putting some pillows below your feet and the ache may go away.

Drink an herbal liquid which aids digestion, such as ginger ale, or Aloe Vera Juice or tea.
Similar herbal teas that help digestion include mint, ginger or chamomile tea.

Place a heating pad on your abdomen to give temporary pain relief.

Lie down for an hour and relax.
  • Don't do any activities even if you feel better. Make sure you feel better for good or you'll make yourself even more sick.
  • Place a cool moist washrag over your forehead and watch tv and just relax.
  • Breathe slowly and evenly, trying to keep your mind off of the pain.
  • Listen to some music if you get sleepy.
  • Enjoy a nice Ginger Beer/Ale - The ginger helps calm down the stomach! *or Losyen Mustajab maybe?
  • Sip a glass of iced water slowly or warm/hot water.
  • Eat crackers or toast. Sometimes stomach aches are caused by too much acid floating around in your stomach with nothing to do. These foods will help absorb the acid to make things a little more comfortable. Also, sipping a glass of water will help to dilute the acid in your stomach.
  • Lie on your left side for 5 minutes on a comfortable couch or bed to see whether it will allow you to burp. This is because the stomach is on the left side of the body and the esophagus enters the stomach on the right. So, the bubbles of gas can rise to that entry point and make a burp possible.
  • Drinking black coffee tends to aid the digestive process. (sometimes it does the opposite though and can make the stomach ache worse)
  • Always drinking dairy products, though if the stomach ache is being caused by not enough acid inside the stomach, it is a great idea to drink milk which is a base and neutralizes acid.
  • Use a hot water bottle pressed to your abdomen, but be careful it's not so hot that it burns you.
  • Sit down comfortably and bring your knees up to your chest and stay like that for a minute or two. When you stretch your legs out again, do so slowly.

Aiyaaa!!! I've closed the tab I get this information from.. Now you can caught me plagiarism.. Sorry!! SO, just Google it!
