Hi
I suffer from anxiety in my tummy. I don't drink tea or coffe and avoid juices due to the acidic effects. I do during peppermint tea, camomile and green tea. I am finding these drinks are agrivating my tummy an was hoping some one may have some suggestions?
Thanks

Hi HB
I'm trying to stay away from teas as I'm starting to get tummy acid, but thankyou.

Red Bush is caffeine free and not very acidic at all.

Can't think what else you could try. It's difficult when you have an acidic tummy. Even water can make it worse.

My grandad used to swear by milk for tummy acid although I could imagine it being a bit sickly?

[honeybun]

Milk makes my heartburn much much worse although for years I was told it would help. I think it's difficult to digest.

Are you taking anything for the heartburn Shell.

Sorry I can't remember if you have already said.

 Hi,

If I drink too much liquid my tummy gets to gurgle …… doesn't matter what drink it is.

Flat coca cola is advised for upset tummies.  Open the bottle, store in the fridge, bring it out to warm a little and drink.  I drink black T with 2 sugars ………. for breakfast, mid-morning, after lunch and during the afternoon.

Goat products can help too.  Many people who suffer allergies drink goat milk or eat goat milk ice cream.

Hi Shellb,

I also have the stomach anxiety and also acid reflux, I find that ginger tea - as well as tasting lovely, settles my stomach. I buy "Twinings Settling Ginger", it's so good I now drink as much of that as normal tea (which aggravates the problem). Ginger tea actually calms the acid problem for me, ginger is known to settle the stomach, sometimes I also chew a small piece of raw ginger. Ginger tea is caffeine-free of course, no milk, so avoids some of the known aggravators too.

Sparkle - I have one right now, I ate some chocolate earlier and you know what that can do to us acid sufferers, so out comes the ginger, it's so nice I drink it by choice not only to settle my stomach! x

Liquorice tea is really good for your stomach xx

DH puts grated ginger into most of our meals [except fish and chips  ] and curry can be settling.  Lightly fried/grilled chicken slices with rice.  I was advised to swallow a Colpermin capsule within an hour of eating my main meals, that's 3 times a day then: my poo eventually smelt of peppermint 

Eating little and often can stop the gurgles etc..

I second the flat coca cola for calming upset stomachs, but just the original - the diet stuff makes things worse. When I've suffered an upset stomach it's often the only thing I can cope with for at least 24 hours afterwards.
