I am on a pretty low fat diet and earlier today I ate something kind of fattening and now my stomach really hurts. It's 45 minutes till dinner time and I have to eat. Any quick tips for getting rid of this stomach ache quickly? Any over the counter suggestions for next time would be great too.

If it is indigestion, I would say tums, Rolaids and or pepto bismal. Room temperature seven up also helps me.

Actually I did end up drinking some room temperature diet 7 Up and it did help.

Pineapple, if you have it, just a little bit. Or ginger ale. You can also try Gas-X although this does not sound like gas. I buy papaya enzyme tablets for things like too much fat or heartburn.

Would diet ginger ale be OK?

Sure, it is the ginger and the carbonation that seems to do the trick.

Apple juice is what my doctor friend recommended to me. I always have a tummy ache as well, it is due to gastritis. If I don't have any medicines that can neutralize acids, I always drink a lot of water.

i always prepare a cup of alka seltzer. It always seems to work for me when i have a stomach ache. Especially if it was caused by something that i ate.
