cure for burping?

[bushbaby_de]

I know you are a sympathetic lot here on AB and I am hoping for serious answers, but fully expecting some silly ones too!

I have had a stomach upset for the last 36 hours. The D and V have finally stopped, but I am left with the most heinous burps that build up til I feel I'm going to be sick, then let rip in an unstoppable way. Its really uncomfortable, not to mention unsociable.

Can anyone suggest something that will make them stop please?

Thanks, bushy.

Try some ginger biscuits bushy.

They help to release the gas in a more gentle manner than you have described.

Thanks guys, will send hubby out shopping when he gets home. In the meantime, any other suggestions of things I might already have in the house?

Do you have any peppermint water/cordial or alka seltzer? both are good for gassy tummies.

[bushbaby_de]

have found some alka seltzer... sadly it went out of date in 2007!! when I am better I really must sort out the medicine cabinet!

If you go to a health shop you can by pure peppermint tablets or peppermint oil. The tablet you are supposed to swallow, but I suck them, if you like extra strong mints be prepared for a serious shock or a couple of drops of the oil in some warm water. Again, this stuff is really strong

I burn the toast and eat carbon for problems like that, or you can get some carbon tablets from a health shop, they`ll make your poo look black but they work.
