Hi subha, I don't..When I feel that way, I will be looking for a hot soup, since it's always my way to heal me..LOL! I will be burping a lot after taking a hot soup and will feel good after! But, it depends with the cause of the said illness...Sometimes, going to the bathroom will help me also!

Oh yes, Subha…how correct you are. Not only stomach upsets, also when I have fever and is not supposed to have anything other than the insipid barley drink. During those times, I will think of phuckas, biryani, chicken rolls, sweets, ghugni and what not. I remember when I was small, I used to pester my mom so much that sometimes she had to give in and make me at least a hot omelette with onions and ginger.

I do not like spicy food very much... and i never crave them when i have an upset stomach... but i always drink Coca Cola when that happens to me... the soda releases the gas that is causing my stomach ache... and it always works...
