    Just what the title says. How do you deal with an upset stomach?

    I usually gobble down the Maalox or the Pepto Bismal, whichever is closer to me. =P I also use a heating pad and showering in hot water seems to relax my body. I'd love to be able to take a nap, bu~ut my stomach usually hurts too much for me to concentrate on anything but my stomach. . >.>

    I only ask because I currently have an upset tummy. =( So, go ahead and tell every one about how you deal with these situations! =D
     
    Usually just take down a couple Alka-Seltzer. I actually love the way those things taste.
     
    Upset stomach..diarrhea.
    lol, yeah either Tums, or Pepto, but if I have no medicine, then I just deal with it. xD
     
    Uhm.. I suck it up. That's how I deal with it.
     
    I just deal with it really. It usually doesn't last long.

    I had the stomach flu; my dad had it too, took medicine, and it went away within three days. I took it without medicine, dealt with it, and it was gone in a week... Stupid me. :P
     
    What i do is suffer through it. Or i just throw up.
     
    I usually complain about it for a while until it goes away. :P

    If I'm at school, I'll go home and rest. By rest I mean sit in front of my computer for the rest of the day, which probably is not very helpful at all. So basically, I just suffer through it. Maybe I should try taking tums though, but I've never been able to stand that chalky taste.
     
    I lay down and try to concentrate on a tv program, or a book until it goes away.
     
    I do the same as with any other aches and whatever else; I do the same stuff I do everyday, no sleeping to get rid of it or whatsoever, I just somehow suffer through it and hope it goes away soon. Not the best way, I know, but meh. u_u

    I use burning medicine, aka Tiger balm. And rub it on my stomach.

    Works like a charm.

    ^ This. And any varient of it, I don't take traditional medicine for stomach pains too often, despite wanting to, we just never have any and I have to use any odd gels or rubbing medicines, which usually aren't too bad and work most of the time, they just tend to have a really disgusting odor that I can't stand.
     
    Laying motionless on a cold, hard floor. Yes, I'm serious. For some reason it reduces the agony, somewhat. The ones I tend to get are rather bad. I never get anything else like diarrhea or throwing up, only the pain x.x... Damn I wish I could throw up when I get them, seems like it might help... but even when I TRY to throw up I can't, dunno why :\
     
    I usually just wait for it to go away. I never really had a severe case of tummy ache :>
     
    hey wat kind ov pokemon do u like, i like alakazam and lucario
     
    Stomach aches were always common for me, they would make me feel just as uneasy as the last time I had one. But despite this, I don't think I have ever really taken anything for my upset stomach, or at least hardly ever. I probably should, but most of the time when this happens, any little remnant of painkillers in the household would have been already gone. So I'd just be here trying to get through the annoying pain as much as I can.
     
    Tums only make me feel worse.. ;.; I hate those little buggers..
    Luckily I literally only have a stomach ache like once a year.. sadly it's extremely intense when I do get it.. D:
    I usually will get up real slowly from bed and go get some Ibuprofen, and take two.
    Then I go into the bathroom, shut the door, and lay on the floor waiting for the Ibuprofen to kick in.. [I choose the bathroom just in case I need to.. you know. x-x]
    It actually does extremely well with stomach pain, but takes forever to kick in.. ^.^;;
    I have never gotten a stomach ache while awake for some reason.. only during sleep, cause it ends up waking me up.
