on 12/30/2008 Throwing up does help me but that is not something I like to do at all. I'm trying to avoid it all together if I can. I find it hard to eat in the early hours of my day so I have few options. One thing that does help is eating a banana as mentioned above(just to fill your appetite). I also find that when I divert my attention from any kind of stress or anxiety I feel much better as well. Try to get "pumped up" for the day like you were about to play an intense sport game. lol it really will make you feel better.

on 10/21/2008 The video mentioned drinking strong ginger ale as the girl drank a can of Canada Dry, which is just as effective as drinking Sprite or Coke (which is not at all). While it is true that ginger eases an upset stomach, mainstream ginger ales (Canada Dry included) do not actually contain ginger; they're just high-fructose corn syrup, flavoring, and carbonation, delicious though they may be.

on 1/1/2008 eat something light, drink hot tea, or cold soda. If you can "throw up" his always makes me feel better.

on 10/18/2006 Have a strong cup of tea with milk, and two slices of toast with peanut butter. The peanut butter and toast will asborb acid. The caffeine in the tea will relax your stomach muscles easing pain, and antioxidants in the tea will give you a boost.
