There are some natural things we don't have control over,though it can be prevented by following some measures , sometimes the cause can be traced to hygiene or the things we eat. Upset stomach is one of them. I'm someone that is somehow mindful of things I take into my stomach this post will expose my history read with me.

When was the last time you felt some stomach upset?

Stomach upset can come as a result of unwanted things we take into the stomach, often times it happens without trace. The last time I felt an upset stomach was 2020 , I was pregnant and that was my sign of delivery. I was so uncomfortable that all I could do was to cry for help. The worst as at then was my condition which will not allow me take any preventative care unless prescribed by my doctor. I almost slept in the toilet. It subsided and I was rushed to the hospital before the doctors could prepare for my delivery my baby was out. Little did I know that the upset stomach was when I was dilating. Who knows I would have given birth in my toilet. God forbid!!!!!.

🤢 Tell me, do you use home remedies or traditional medicine to relieve discomfort?

Remember I said I was in a condition where I could not take any unrecommended drugs, the only thing that I can recall was eating bread to see if it will stop, because my friend which told me that eating much bread without any liquid can cause constipation. I was hungrily eating the bread without looking back.

🤢 You know how to distinguish between an upset stomach due to indigestion, colitis or gastritis.

Upset stomach can easily be distinguished using the following.

• Frequent stooling.
• vomiting
• Loss of appetite
• Tiredness
• Fatigue

🤢 If the discomfort is very intense, visit the emergency room or simply self-medicate.

A times upset stomach helps someone to discharge some unwanted things in the body, do you know that there are people who finds it difficult to go through stomach upset, in my community you see them using traditional methods like pumping .

In my own case on a normal circumstance I would go for simple self medication . That's buying drugs over the chemist store.
