Stop the pain. My stomach hurts. I've been to the doctor and they recommended the BRAT diet for the residual effects of the stomach bug I had. They also gave me prescription. It is not helping the pain in my stomach. I've tried Imodium and Gas-X and I can't seem to get any better.
Sincerely,
Alien in my stomach boy
Dear Alien Boy,
A stomach virus, upset stomach or food poisoning are terrible for anyone. We all think we are going to die from the body's rejection of anything we put into it. I have had virus's so bad that I've actually stayed in the bathroom because throwing up ever 5-minutes just wasn't worth leaving the comfort of the nearby toilet. I feel your pain Alien Boy, The BRAT diet is a great way to help your stomach heal. For those of you who don't know what that is, This is a diet to allow your body time to repair after you are sick by eating a bland diet, Banana, Rice, Applesauce,Toast. Some even add yogurt to that diet to get the probiotics back into your stomach. Pedialite is also helpful once you stop throwing up. I have offered peppermint tea from tea leaves that I grew and then dried. to help alleviate the pain. You can put this on ice or drink it hot. I also add lemon balm that is a known anti-viral to help kill the virus. It does seem to do a wonderful job relieving the hurt from the extra gas and sore belly. Ginger tea is another great tea for stomach upset and nausea, You can even mix some peppermint essential oil with a carrier oil like; coconut oil or almond oil and rub it on your stomach for some relief. I've seen them work wonders. Give it a try and remember don't overdo it by eating anything spicy. Drink lots of water to prevent dehydration. You'll feel better soon.
