To ease an upset stomach? I've been sick for 4 days, called off work twice (tomorrow makes three), and have had no luck in easing my poor stomach. We have no pepto, no pepermint tea, no anti-nausea liquid medicine, or anything. I pretty much have regular tea..and um..thats about it. Help?

Got any rice? My kids babysitter used to boil rice and give the kids the water from it. It worked wonders at the day care. good luck.

Unfortunately, we have no rice, either. I'd go get something from the tore, but it's after my curfew =x

Baking soda in water. It will help neutralize the stomach acid and the burping helps with headaches. One thing that helps me, but doesn't with the rest of my family, is ice-cold milk vigorously shaken. It soothes my stomach and the extra air causes me to burp, helping with the relief.

really? I've always heard that dairy is the WORST thing for an upset stomach because of the extra acids and lactose..milk doesn't like me to begin with =/

Well, I'm the sole lactose tolerant member of my family, which is probably why it works for me. While doing a search, I came across this. I hope it helps.
