Calming my stomach

Ok, I've been pretty stressed out lately, which has been causing a number of unwanted side effects, most of these I can deal with. But it is causing my stomach to churn and create excess gas. I'm trying to cut down on my stress level and to tell the truth, I don't feel that stressed out. But I can't cut my stress to zero and I have been stresed out for several months now; this is causing horrible stomach pains. Can anyone think of any teas or medicine or anything else that might calm my stomach down? It is driving me up the wall (which isn't helping).

creating gas? or acid?

gas you just need to burp out, stomach acid needs other methods. if it's heart burn your talking about, then maybe see a gastroenterologist. you shouldn't be using antacids for more than like 2 weeks straight.

Its not acid, there is a little more than usual, but it is mostly gas.

Avoid dairy products and anything high in acid. You might pay attention to how much you're eating. A lot of time when I get stressed I don't eat as much as I should and that can contribute to having more gas. If you actually fill yourself up that can help the digestive process, your stomach is built to handle being filled. I guess it is obviously that I've had this problem before considering all the advice I'm giving. Another thing to consider is your eating schedule. If you can find a consistent schedule on when you eat each day that helps settle your stomach because it learns to adjust to that schedule, your body gets used to patterns and irregularity can make it rough.

i think some vegetables can give you gas... especially dark green ones, but i don't really know for sure.

I think the best way to calm a stomach (especially after eating like four pizzas with chile powder or something else stupid) is a nice salad, preferably with just a drop of ceaser dressing and maybe some tomatoes and shiat.

I'm geussing your stress has caused gastritis- an inflammation of the lining of the stomach. A good product to try is pepcid complete- it combines an antacid with a longer acting drug called an H2 antagonist(like zantac and tagamet) and its over the counter.

I think Mael is right on target too- get it checked out if the OTC med doesn't help in a couple weeks
