Just a small amount of ginger can calm an upset stomach how are you feeling your best in just a few minutes. If you don’t feel like eating pieces of the actual ginger root, you can try low sugar ginger candies or lozenges. If you have access to natural ginger, it may be your best option because it is naturally sugar-free.
Plain Crackers
If you’ve ever come down with the flu, this may seem like the obvious answer. However, there is a reason why eating plain crackers can help ease an upset stomach. Your nausea may be caused by an excess of stomach acid, causing discomfort in your tummy. Plain crackers can act like a sponge that’ll soak up all the excess acid. When your stomach acid is contained within the crackers, it can no longer cause you added discomfort.
Greek Yogurt
Plain Greek yogurt is packed with probiotics that can help your stomach regulate better. Probiotics are a natural way to combat the bacteria in your stomach that brings you discomfort. When we add probiotics to our gut, we can help our stomachs fight nausea-causing bacteria. Greek yogurt is packed with protein, which can help fuel your stomach and lessen the likelihood of cramps and nausea. The consistency of yogurt won’t fill your stomach too much or add any additional discomfort after eating.
Apples
Apples are incredibly high in fiber. During a bout of nausea, loading up on fiber can help you clear out a disgruntled tummy. High-fiber foods like apples can empty your stomach within just a few hours. Apples are particularly good a clearing your stomach of nausea-causing foods that are high in grease. In addition to their fibrous nature, an apple I can give you just as much energy as a cup of coffee. When your body is fighting back against the discomfort of nausea, it’s going to need that energy to help you feel better.
Peppermint Candy or Mint Leaves
Although not strictly a food itself, peppermint candy or mint leaves can help ease the pain that comes with an upset stomach. Both mint and peppermint are chock-full of a natural anti-inflammatory that can calm the walls of your stomach. Chewing on a sprig from the herb garden can help calm your stomach muscles enough to make any nausea bearable. A peppermint candy can take a bit of that anti-inflammatory right to the source. The small amount of sugar in a peppermint candy can also help give your stomach the energy it needs to cleanse itself of the things that are making you nauseous.
