I don't eat much, but drink ginger ale. Year ago, Coke syrup was given for
upset tummy and some still drink Coke for it.

When I want solids, I go with crackers and peanut butter or scrambled eggs
and toast.

Have a "two cents plain" or a bicarb. Usually all you need is a bisel
greps.

Lucozade was a great fixer upper for stomach aches when I was little.. Not
sure if it's available in Canada or USA.

Ah, a thread just as gastroenteritis is knocking everyone down at work,
and our little home. Retching all night with a retching hubby and lively
but loose-stooled toddler has to be ranked on one of my top ten lowest
moments.
Lukewarm Verner's was the classic. Saltines without salt and gingerale
next.
I'm a grown up, and I find that if a cup of really watered down joe
sounds appealing, I'm out of the woods.
And remember, leaping back to ham sandwiches as soon as you get hungry
is a common cause of "relapse".

Alpenbitters. Mix it with a little water and knock it back. It's not bad tasting
once you get used to it.

Trust me Cindi, it'll work! Personally I prefer the clear although I
wouldn't turn down a glass of the black. ;-) It really does settle the
stomach though. Sip, don't chug.

Toast with vegemite (if you can get it in your part of the world). Water
crackers plain or with vegemite. Cold baked beans (from a tin). Hot water
or weak tea, especially with fresh grated ginger in it.

drink. then I want Coke. and lots of it. Cold, no ice.

My stomach is a mess, too. For bloat, try charcoal capsules (expect your
next bowel movement to be black). I'd try the baking soda in water cure,
but I absolutely can't stand the taste of it.

I ran out of Prilosec recently and had to struggle without it for two
weeks. The only thing that helped at all was lots and lots of water.

If you have acid frequently, Prilosec is a wonder drug. If you can get
prescriptions for less than the OTC stuff, ask for Omeprazole, Prevacid or
Nexium.

Hope you feel better.

I've got Gatorade and Tang in my pantry. Both taste better than that
"brine," and accomplish pretty much the same thing.

When I get a tummy ache, I usually just swallow two Pepto Bismol tablets
and wash them down with a glass of water. Eating something is the last
thing I would do when I have a tummy ache. Fortunately, this rarely
happens to me.

When I was little, I always wanted peppermint ice cream for a tummy
ache - worked like a charm. Now I just do an Alka Seltzer - I'm
addicted to the stuff since my gall bladder went bye-bye.

The BRAT diet works works for me - bread, rice, applesauce and tea. The
"bread" can be the saltines you mentioned or just some plain bread or dry
toast. Rice should be cooked without added butter or fat. The applesauce
should be the kind that doesn't have tons of sugar added to it. I find
peppermint or chamomile tea is nice. Also warmed chicken broth or stock to
sip (nothing too salty). Hope you feel better!

My dad always grew mint out back and made mint tea for upset tummies.
The other thing I remember is, as other posters have mentioned, ginger
ale - except that it should be *flat* ginger ale, not fizzy. You can
achieve this by adding a little sugar to your GA in the glass - takes
the fizz right out. (A nurse taught me this one when I was a kid in
the hospital)
