So I have the worst stomache in the history of man. Now, thinking back to elementary school, the Nurse always recommended a saltine cracker or two. QUESTION IS: WHY was that? Was is something SPECIFIC about the CRACKER? And is there any other food the average household stocks that can beat this intense pain? I will be soo thankful of helpful answers - this pain is sooo bad it could ultimately take my life. =/ gr.
Maybe the nurse thought you had some nausea with your stomach pains. Crackers reduces stomach acid by asorption and solidifies inside your stomach. This prevents the nauseous feeling and makes it harder to throw up.
If it's your stomach that is actually hurting, try some peppermint candies or tea. If it's your lower abdomen then you should try a heating pad, hot water bottle, shower or bath. If this a recurring problem, I would suggest seeing your doctor... there might be a chance of ulceration in the stomach or other intestinal problems.
Hope this helps and feel better soon.
