I'm siiiiiiiiiick!!!!!!!!!!!
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.

wait before that you need to go to a doctor not trying to scare you if it keeps coming back it could be your appendix no biggie just got to make sure it not. and saltine crackers help cause the salt in them

Have you considered it not being a stomach ache?

saltine crackers are really good because the crackers soak up any stomach acid that is bothering you.
almost any salty cracker will work for stomach pain and discomfort.
hope you get better and that i helped.

You are less likely to throw up something bland like crackers, yet it puts something on your stomach. Dry old toast works the same. I'm a little late with the answer, hope your still alive this morning. :)

coke will help ease your stomach , rice , white bread , plain crackers , boiled chicken plain , noddles , andy thing plain really .

if your stomach hurts on the right side then it might be your appendix (sp?) maybe go to the doctor and get ti checked out. If its just your stomach then plain crackers should help.
h.i.h. and hope you get better!

Bread can too. Bread and crackers absorb the acids that cause the pain.

you should have only clear things and crackers for a while. like, sprite, jello, etc. . . sprite is really good at helping stomache aches

go to a docter!!!!! but yes usually crackers help upset stomachs becasue the bread or yeast or wutever eases your stomach.

You ate those cuz she thought you didnt eat.
No, you're having this "intense pain" because god doesnt like you.

Tums should help. Also, crackers just help to settle down the acid in your stomach, they absorb some of it. That's why nurses always reccommend them. My mom's a nurse and she always gives us some sort of cracker as the first thing to eat when sick. Also, Sprite or any Lemon-Lime soda (without caffeine) seems to help.
Hope your stomachache gets better soon!

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.

i really dont think theres anything to a saltine cracker b/c my nurse would give us peppermints. honestly, i think its a psycological thing to just keep your mind off of it so you can concentrate in school. or it could be that you are hungry...either way, get somthing to eat or if nothing else, drink some water. dont have things with citrus alone (i.e. orange juice) that might be causing it. <3

Yea, the nurse gives crackers to kids because they might be hungry and thats why there stomach hurts.lol. Well, you didnt specify if you were a girl or guy but if your a girl it could be your period... Pretzels might help you stomach ache. I always have chicken noodle soup if my stomach hurts. Or, any other type of soup... I hope you feel better! If you dont then you should deffinitly go to the doctor. Good Luck.
