what do you eat when your stomach is in knots

[welfareloser]

i'm taking suggestions. i can't find anything that i would consider "soothing." i ate four chocolate chip cookies, and somehow, that wasn't it.

[topane]

Flat Coke, dry white toast, crackers, chicken broth, tabasco sauce.

[Markel]

I take that the discussion on Sliders didn't prompt any ideas? :D

[ironchef]

tea w/ honey and dry wheat toast

[brainsmile]

try some nice warm chicken noodle soup

[Kim]

Chicken noodle soup with crackers. I hope you feel better.

duh. i think i actually have some, too... maybe even crackers. thanks, guys.

oh, and topane... flat coke... *shudder* :puke:

when i'm sittin at the computer and the cans have built up, and i reach for my brand new diet coke but accidentally grab a half full one from the day before... eeeewwwwwwwww...

[Markel]

On a serious note, sometimes 7-Up hits the spot for me when my stomach is messed up.

[Burzhui]

Dude ginger ale helps your stomach

[welfareloser]

i can't do sugar, otherwise ginger ale or 7up would be a good idea... and i don't wanna run to the store, anyway...

Then I'd go with the chicken noodle soup. However, the suggestion above of Tobasco?!!? :confused:

Milk toast if nothing else works.

[zenbooty]

Ginger Ale and beef bullion is my upset stomach diet.

[Markel]

Seeing the current Altoids thread reminded me of something else that I can like at times: peppermint tea.

[aglio412]

wonder bread..oh wait wrong thread

pepto is the bomb...then i'd say something easy like mashed potatoes...stay away from grease and sweets.

i usually grab a box of crackers and go to town when i'm feelin yukky

[attgig]

eh, well...

a few minutes ago, the list of titles of the forum read:
what do you eat when your stomach is in knots
the $6 burger at carl's jr

(one thread right after the other).

I think a lot of meat would hit the spot :)

oh dear...i'm creating quite the twisted image of myself here...the wonder bread stuff, the potty pic in the hottest G|A thread...

[NullUnit2000]

After a relly nasty case of food poisoning, my wife's doctor put her on what's called the BRAT diet. Bananas, Rice, Apple Sauce and Toast. Along with fruit juice or water this should make for a trouble free diet 'til your tummy clears up.

[Sir_Froggy]

no no no u guys got it all rong

all u do is take a humungoid sleepy...if u can't sleep a long time the trick is to only take about 6 tyelonel if u take more than i think u might die....and nobody would want that...every single body would be so sad

[BrewMaster]

A good cup of hot tea or some sprite for me. I love tea. Not the Lipton crap, but real loose tea. Yum. Hope you feel better. You can always go to the sure-fire Pepto.

i thkink tdhere waz alot of tpyos in taht lats post frgoggy:D

[El Scorcho]

on a serious note:

milk shakes usually help settle my stomach

[BrewMaster]

this is gonna sound weird, but those little lychee jello things settle my stomach really well. any flavor will do for me as long as they are nice and cold.

[jujubees]

club soda. *burp*

[topane]

Originally posted by welfareloser

oh, and topane... flat coke... *shudder* :puke: Yeah, but it soothes the tummy. Check your local pharmacy, they probably sell "Coke syrup"

[topane]

One more: Club soda with a few shakes of Angostura(sp?) bitters--it's used in a few cocktails. You'll find it in the drink mixers section of your local grocery store. Has alcohol, so don't go overboard! The combination got me through many an upset stomach.

Yea. I think it is the combo of the fiziness and lemon. Lemon/lime stuff settles your stomach. I used to be a huge soda drinker, but now the only time I will have 7up is when I am flying on a plane. My stomach really gets in knots when I fly.

[g222leav]

yea, sprite and 7-up will do, i usually try to take in a few deep breathes, that helps to settle the stomach.

oh yea, and the "pink stuff" is soooooooo bad for your stomach.

no it doesn't!!! wut are u thinking of candy???? medicine is never good tasting!

[g222leav]

well, maybe it's a different kind of "pink stuff" that el scorcho is taking...either way, i don't wanna know

[welfareloser]

heh ... i actually do like the taste of the pink colloidal solution of chalk...

i think i'm in the range of full-blown ulcers and am about to give up eating entirely.

[ArkiStan]

so how are you feeling?

sharp pains in the belly, mostly stress i'm sure, and i seem to be getting a cold on top of that, thankfully quite mild. no kissing for me tonight (unless i can cover up the sniffles and later claim "nope, wasn't me" when the kissee gets sick...) :D

[ArkiStan]

*hint hint* having your belly kissed always seems to soothe any inner pains. And there's less of a possibility of cold infection.

Stomach in knots? Try the persian remedy:
1. Boil 2 cups of water
2. Add 2 or more tablespoons of mint
3. Add a handfull of crystal sugar, i doubt you have any so just add sugar.
4. drink a cup
5. Call me in the morning :)

[g222leav]

what is it about home remedies that seem so appealing (or more so than OTC's)

well with home remedies you get the added conditioned comfort that came along with the remedy when your mom/dad/etc gave it to you.

[g222leav]

i like the idea of know that exact contents of what i'm taking.

If you are only going to drink a cup, why start with 2 cups of water? Sounds wasteful. :) Actually, sounds close to my earlier recommendation of peppermint tea.
