How To Ease A Heavy Stomach?

[revenant]

You know that heavy, sweaty, dehydrated feeling that one gets in their lower stomach area when one falls asleep on a meal of fat/oil, or gluten? I ate gluten a day and a half ago. It's keeping me up and It's really bad. I've never had it for days straight before. Is there anyway to soothe it or do I just have to ride it out?

You might try drinking something plain and fizzy, like soda water or ginger ale, to make you burp. Generally that heavy feeling for me relates to trapped gas that you need to get rid of to feel better. I also take the Gas-X soft gels, and I guiet my stomach with yogurt. You will have to test and see what works for you. Sometimes when all else fails I sear my gut with neat scotch

I eat lots of vegetables, nothing else. Might not work if you have/ have had D.

I love it!!

I agree that you will need to figure out what works for you--suggestions will help you with where to start. I tend to use fat free greek yogurt, bland foods like potatoes, and tea. Lots of spring water and to Shroomie's point, a little wine helps my stomach settle down many times.

What works for me is sipping a lot of water and eating very, very little (mostly plain rice, plain veggies, plain fruits). I hate that feeling. Ugh.
