Stop Suffering From Stomachaches

Who among us has not had an unpleasant experience with overeating? Stomach aches, and other digestion problems, are something we all want to avoid. But, if we cannot prevent it, we will welcome anything that offers fast relief!

Carbonated water eases the symptoms of some forms of stomach ailments as well as easing constipation. Unfortunately, this is something that I had to learn the hard way (the usual way I learn all my lessons).

The main symptom of stomach problems that I have is feeling bloated or fullness in the upper abdominal region after overeating and overeating is something I do a lot. Normally, I just suffered; then I started working for a man who would always take water and baking soda whenever he had these symptoms. One day, I was really miserable, so I tried his remedy; after a short while, I felt much, much better. 

Consequently, I wanted to learn why this works so well. This was long before antacid medications were sold over the counter (OTC) and also long before people could run to the doctor with each and every ache, pain or stomach problem. Basically adding baking soda with water produces carbon dioxide gas with bubbles and somehow the bubbles and the ingredients form a solution that aids the movement of the digestive tract, relieving some of the difficulties from overeating – that bloated feeling goes away.

This adding baking soda and water actually forms which has been used for years to treat digestive complaints, yet no research exists if it is effective or how it works. I did find some information about studies showing that both the bubbles of carbon dioxide and the presence of high minerals can stimulate the digestive process. This, basically, is what I was making with water and baking soda. I discovered no information on whether the bubbles or the mineral-rich carbonated water are more effective.

I found some suggestions for stopping these problems before they develop, such as avoiding foods that cause your stomach problems, eating smaller meals, reduce eating a lot of fat, and if you smoke, stopping as soon as possible. Also everyone should drink a healthy amount of fluids to maintain movement of your GI tract and head off constipation.

I read about some devices to make homemade carbonated water, which you can use for drinking. Adding a number of flavors creates an option to regular soda pop, which is especially great if you want to avoid the calories. By making this homemade drink with water rich in minerals, you have made a very healthy and low calorie drink, called sparkling water, which is good for your whole family. A large assortment of calorie free flavors to flavor sparkling water to great taste is sold at allfreight.com.

Something I now know from personal experience is this: if you have overeaten but feel absolutely miserable and must work for the rest of the day, carbonated water does help.
