Relieve for Mild Gastric Problem

Life can be quite stressful and if it is not coped properly, the next thing you know is the reccurence of the gastric problems. Gastric should never be taken lightly and where irregular meals exists in your diet, special care needs to be taken to protect your stomach walls from ulcers and even bleeding. Here, I have some home remedy for relieving my gastric, but for conditions that is more severe or if you are unsure, I think it is best to see your specialist.

Thick and cloudy beverage

To soothe my gastric pain, I often look for fluids that is thick, such as the water from the porridge, cloudy barley or cloudy almond drink. I find that these fluids are thick enough to protect or at least relieve the painful effect on the stomach walls. The disadvantage using this method is that you might still feel the pain, but the pain should subside once you have a good round of diarrhoea. This diarrhoea should smell somewhat acidic and quite a dreadful process for me though it is more effective than taking the gastric pills.

Rice Vinegar or other Natural Vinegar

This may sound a little crazy, but I have found that this method somehow works for me. Still I would suggest you should take it only after your meals. Though, there are research studies that indicates the vinegar might not significantly help in gastric problem, I have found that for the first time, I didn't have the acidic diarrhoea when I take vinegar after the porridge. It is quite phenomenal for me because I was anticipating that diarrhoea but the stool is more solid and not does not smell acidic. Do give me your thoughts if you tried this method as well.

Diet to observe

There are food you should avoid and abstain when you are having your gastric pain. Typical food to avoid are oily and deep fried food. These food irritate and stresses the stomach walls, especially when you are having the gastric conditions. The best healing food to me is still the porridge. When all the pain is gone and recovered, you can still take these favourite food gain.
