1. Papaya
This tropical fruit contains enzymes, including papain, which promote a healthy acidic environment in the stomach. Eating papaya can help with indigestion and constipation and has also been used for ulcers.
2. Applesauce
Apples contain powerful antioxidants that will help your body's immune system and promote healing. They also contain pectin as well as other enzymes that help detoxify and rid the body of harmful particles. It is a light food that will ease your stomach while providing your body with essential vitamins and minerals. Not to mention it is delicious! I prefer mine with a little cinnamon sprinkled on top which just so happens to be the next food on the list.
3. Cinnamon
This tasty spice has been used to treat gas, morning sickness, and diarrhea. Sprinkle some on baked apples, oatmeal, or a slice of toast, for a tasty treat.
4. Ginger
Various studies have shown ginger to be effective in helping to reduce nausea. Try some ginger snaps or a ginger tea.
5. Saltine Crackers
These, and other high starch foods such as toast, will help to absorb stomach acid. Reducing stomach acid will help to ease your stomach pains.
Thank you so much for posting this. Great info for someone who's stomach sometimes ties them in knots. I knew about cinnamon, but saltines are out of the question, as I have given up wheat.
