[WhiteBears]

thanks Kendra, ive already had two cups of hot water :(

[Barmaid]

Do you have any peppermint tea?

[Purple_Popple]

Whitebears - do you have any flat cola or lemonade ? Failing that - dont suppose you have any 'Andrews' liver salts ?

[Prudie]

teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in water, tastes yuk but works.

[Pea Pod]

I have a slice of dry white bread and a glass of cold water. Don`t know why it works but it does.

[WhiteBears]

Naz no ginger,
ermm i do have caromile tea... .. might give that a try?

[welshlibranr]

If you have some bicarbonate of soda in your store cupboard, and you dissolve about a teaspoonful in a small glass of warm water, and drink slowly, this may help, Hope this helps!..............

[WhiteBears]

ohh thank you all for helping me, all the suggestions i dont have :( i was thinking peppermint tea but i also forgot to replace it.. oh im a bad bear :(

[WhiteBears]

welsh i have bicarbonate of soda.. but isnt that for baking? :S

[welshlibranr]

yes Whitebear it is, but can help wIth the tummy too, try it!......If it doesn't help, won't do any harm, or try peppermint essence, if you have it, a few drops in a small glass of wrm water.........they can both help to get some relief, and if they don't help, they won't hurt you!.......

Bicarb is for indigestion. Do as Welsh says.

[welshlibranr]
