Stomach ache is in your head

Sunday, May 6, 2012

I used to have stomach ache every other day. It was very frustrating because I had to stop with my normal routine until it went away.
I used to relate it directly with the food I eat, but then I learned it had little to do with that. The stomach is a muscle. There is people that under stress tend to tense the back muscles, or the head muscles. Bur people like me tense the stomach muscles and therefore have digestive problems.


The zone where the pain is located will help you know the reason it caused it


 If you suffer often from stomach ache, you can try and visit a gastroentherologist, and you can also try these steps.


First of all, you must try and free your tension. 
Lay down, put a pillow under your feet and breathe in and out slowly.
Try to forget about your problems for the moment.
Put some relaxing music.
Drink some ginger ale or 7up, and lie on your left side for 5 minutes on a comfortable couch or bed. The esophagus enters the stomach on the right side of your body, so the bubbles of gas can rise to that entry point and make a burp possible.
Take a warm relaxing bath.
Take some herbal tea, like chamomile or ginger tea, or a glass of water with half a lemon.
Go to the bathroom if you feel like it.
If you feel hungry, grate a red apple and let it sit for 10 minutes before eating it, or bake it in the oven.


Ginger-Lemon-Honey tea is a good medicine and it tastes great


Try not to eat spicy or seasoned elaborated food!
If the pain lasts for more than 2 days you should visit a doctor, because it may be the symptom of some disease like celiac disease or some food intolerance.
Another good advice is to chew your food several times before swallowing. Enjoy the moment. This takes up a lot of work from the stomach.
