No one likes an upset stomach. It can ruin your day or at least make you feel under the weather. So, how do you fix it? We’re sharing five remedies to settle your upset stomach and help take you from feeling bad to feeling great.
Eat Something Bland
An upset stomach often occurs when you’re unwell. While doctors no longer recommend exclusively eating bland food when you’re feeling ill, eating a few bland foods throughout the day might help ease your troubled tummy. Try lightly salted crackers, plain popcorn, bananas, or plain rice to give your upset stomach time to recover. Remember, please consult your doctor if your symptoms become irregular or last longer than two days.
Take Some Pepto-Bismol
When an upset stomach is caused by eating or drinking too much or accompanies diarrhoea, Pepto-Bismol can come to the rescue! This remedy is also a way to address your tummy troubles. Pepto-Bismol* soothes your discomfort by providing a protective coating of your stomach and intestine to help you feel better.
Go to the Loo
If your stomach is feeling queasy, a simple and immediate solution is to go to the loo. Often, that’s all you need to do to feel some relief. If you find yourself visiting the loo more than usual, remember to stay hydrated and get help from Pepto-Bismol.
Wait It Out
Sometimes, an upset stomach can settle itself — you just need to give it time. Distract yourself by watching your favourite show or diving into a good book. Soon, you’ll feel better and be ready to get back to your day. If not, try one of the remedies above for a quicker treatment.
Thankfully, an upset stomach isn’t forever. Choose a remedy that makes sense for you and your circumstances, and chances are you’ll be back to normal in no time.
