Sit down at my computer desk and go on here.
Or sit on my bed watching TV.
 
Actually, I have a very odd way of dealing with it. XD;

I take fast, steady breaths and I count them. Usually, I count about 1,000 fast breaths, and the ache is gone. Oh, and I know it's stupid, but cartoons help. XD Cartoons have always comforted me, so whenever I watch them, it eases the nausea some.

Oh! When you're nauseated, you're supposed to lay an ice cold cloth on your head, and squeeze the fat in your hand between the index finger and the thumb. It focuses the nerve on something else, so you don't feel the nausea anymore.

I take medication if I have the stomach flu, though.
 
Aspirin (it cures everything!). Before I stopped drinking pop, I would have a 7UP or the other-brand equivalent. Laying down usually helps, too. If it's not too bad I can usually sleep for 15-20 minutes and it'll be gone.
 
It depends on what it is.

I mean I don't get stomachaches often but when i do I just take maalox or something.

Though, since I'm a woman, if it's...that time of the month...then I usually take midol for cramps because if I don't I actually feel so cramped that I feel like throwing up.

I also find that laying on my stomach, maybe on a soft pillow or snuggling with my plushies, helps the pain go away too. So long as I'm not moving around and stuff. >:|

I get headaches more than stomachaches and I usually have to live through the agony of them. I hate swallowing pills and if it's too hard to handle, I end up taking liquid tylenol, cbf to bother with pills... >:[
