HeatherFTW Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Speaking of Tums, does anyone know a natural way to combat stomach ache? I've had significant stomach aches days 5-7 so far. I've taken digestive enzymes and probiotics, but nothing more. Or is this normal and my stomach will resolve itself soon? (I hope) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Peppermint tea works wonders on any stomach ache I've had. Ginger and peppermint together is even better. Give it a try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physibeth Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I sometimes do a tbs of raw apple cider vinegar in a glass of water when I have heartburn and that helps. Usually what we associate with too much stomach acid is really symptomatic of not enough which is why the vinegar helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took ACV before my current meal, along with my usual digestive enzymes and such. Stomach ache still reared up. Does it take a while, meaning, a few meals/days of meals with the ACV before you start to feel better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'd read about low stomach acid was that a dose of ACV with water before meals would help with digestion, so that's what I tried. I actually felt better right after I took it, but then I ate lunch and the stomach ache came back. I have *no idea* why this is happening. I'm on day 10, and I've had a stomach ache every time I eat for four days now. This wasn't anything I dealt with on my old way of eating (I was a regular probiotic/digestive enzyme user prior to Whole30). Could it be the lots more fiber? Too much protein/fat? Normal Whole30-second-week gut adjustments? I'm basically just hanging in there in hopes it'll get better as I get used to eating like this.

Physibeth Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 It could be any of those things. I would hang in there and if it doesn't improve maybe post a few days of your food, activity, sleep, stress, and water intake for us to see if there is anything else we can pinpoint. Regarding water and digestion most of what I have read says to avoid water before, during, and directly after meals as it can lower your stomach acid and impair digestion. So if you are drinking a lot of water around meal times that is something you could try as well. In the meantime see if using the ACV as you would have used tums helps at all.

Jamlal Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Did you start over? I'm on day 2 and I usually take them for calcium. Out of habit I took them and then read label. Lesson in label reading. It was an accident!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
