Does anyone know anything that might settle my stomach?
It is a combination of eating very rich food after dieting for two months, a very short amount of sleep, and a very scary Property exam.
Please answer ASAP since I have to leave for the aforementioned exam in 18 minutes.
Pray. It works(!)
Thanks. I have to leave now. Wish me luck!
Think I’ll take some crackers or something. If I throw up, I am still taking the test, even if I have to take it in the bathroom.
Pepto-Bismal ususually works for me :dubious:
Ginger Ale might help. (even though you are already gone, I thought I would suggest in case it was still there when you returned:))
In the same vein as innanna (I already know you’re gone, but for future reference. . .) go to your drugstore and ask the druggist for a bottle of Coke syrup. Keep it in the fridge at all times. Whenever you feel this way, pour a couple of tablespoons of it over some crushed ice and sip slowly. It’s not prescription, but they keep it behind the counter so you have to ask for it. It’s also way cheaper than stuff like Pepto. YMM, of course, V.
Water, water and more water. It makes you chuck and you feel better getting it out.
Teaspoon of baking soda in a tall glass of water. Be prepared for several minutes of burping that register on the Richter scale.
I hope you feel better when you get back, if not, try one of the things below. They usually work, or call into your pharmacy and get some Domperidone (sold as Motilium here), which should help too.
Whisky and milk (with a little sugar)
Flat Coca cola
Ginger tea (large slice of root ginger, boiling water, sugar, leave to cool for 5 minutes, sip)
Flat Lucozade
Dry toast and sweet Black tea
Thanks, everyone. I am back, and I still feel bloody awful.
I had some sweet black tea and a piece of bread, and I managed not to throw up. My stomach still feels like hell, so I think I will drink some flat coke like everyone suggested. I wonder why it makes upset tummies feel better?
Now I have a headache from hell. Feels like my neck is going to break in half and my head will thump in my lap. Think I’ll take some medicine and try to take a nap after the coke.
Oh, and never ever take Property. And if you do take Property, don’t take the exam. It really sucks.
Those are my words of wisdom for today. And now, ladies and gentleman, I am going to go cradle my miserable self on the couch.
Property as in insurance provider licensing?
If so, I would have to agree…instant scoring or do you have to wait to hear if you passed [hoping you passed either way=)]
You might want to try a shot or two of green Chartreuse. It’s been used as a digestive for ages, and it certainly works for me.
