Peppermint Oil
★★★★★
Thank god for this remedy -- it worked. I happened to have organic aromatherapy peppermint oil: 3 drops in half a cup of water chased with a little more, and within 5 minutes lots of gurgling began, and I am now, about an hour later and a visit to the john, pain free.

Decades ago, I experienced routine bouts of reflux and abdominal pain. GP's dismissed this as an eating disorder, due to the weight gain program I was on to build muscle with weight training. Similarly to yourselves, however, I wound up reading a book by a naturopath explaining that the medical focus on recommending limiting salt intake is having extremely harmful effects on health. The piece which caught my attention was when he detailed that the body requires salt to produce the hydrochloric acid in our stomachs.
Contrary to common belief, hydrochloric acid only commences the stomachs digestive process. Its real significance is that a sufficient amount of it is necessary to trigger the release of digestive enzymes required to complete the job of digestion.
Apple cider vinegar can help to stimulate the production/release of hydrochloric acid but your body really requires a sufficient supply of the ingredients needed to produce it.

Strawberries
★★★★★
For any kind of stomach ache, gas pain, heart burn or stomach upset of any kind, I eat 4-6 frozen strawberries and the discomfort is gone instantly. This remedy has worked 100% of the time for me for many years. It has also worked 100% of the time for everyone I have told. My mother is 89 and takes several medications and supplements and sometimes gets terrible stomach pains and gas. She ate 5 frozen strawberries and by the time she ate the last one her pain and gas had disappeared. She is a devout skeptic and was amazed at the results.
I have tried this with many different varieties of strawberries and they all work. My favorite here in southwest Michigan is called Early Glow and we freeze about 60 qt. every year. Just hull the "caps", rinse in water, let drain in a colander and put into whatever size plastic freezer bag you prefer. Even if they are out of season in your area and you have to pay a higher price at a super market, get at least one qt. to keep in the freezer. When you get a stomach ache eat 4-6 of them and your pain should disappear.
I hope this helps you stop wasting money on expensive, super hyped, over the counter upset stomach chemicals that in my opinion just do not work and always made me feel worse.

I use every time when I have stomach ache this wonderful well known Swedish Bitters. I usually purchase the dry herbs in a package and follow the direction on the package for the first time and first bottle, but for the next bottle I keep it much longer(a few month in alcohol).I pour contents of dry herb into alcohol in the jar and keep it 8 days for the 1st batch, but for the next one up to 6 month, then screen it through cheesecloth.I take 1 teaspoon of this herb mixture and dilute in 1 cup of water and drink it right away.Pain stop also immediately. I purchase the herb in health food store.Thanks.
Ted's Remedies

Dear Sheila, I have and still use Ted's remedies.
My first thought when I read your email was a twist in her intestine. I am sure she has been tested but thought I would mention it.
Ted's wise words have taught our family digestion. You did not talk about supplements. I will just go through our checklist.
Magnesium is my go to for pain so a castor oil pack would be effective. More than pain meds.
A cut up flannel about the size of a bath towel or a worn clean towel or even paper towels if all you have. In a gallon ziploc. Add castor oil. Enough to saturate. Using the bag squeeze out excess as you pull it out so it is not drippy. Add magnesium oil. To make it 60% mag flakes in a jar add 40% water. Let sit a half hour shake. Add a tsp or two to saturated flannel. If you have no other you can use milk of magnesia in a pinch. Dmso will help if you have it on clean skin only. A capful added to pack. Lavender essential oil a drop or two is healing and calming. Ideally you have everything but in reality not everyone has. My advice use what you do have. Coconut oil and m.o.m. applied if thats what is on hand.
Applying lavender oil to her spine will further help the internal reach of remedies you are using and castor oil would help it spread.
Epsom baths or soaks will relax and kill some pain too
Castor oil pack. Lay pack folded to fit torso. Add some plastic wrap to cover. Lay her on a towel add a heating pad on low to medium on pack. 20 minutes at least. We do them longer but 20 minutes at least.
Internally. The bs reset hunger. B6 as p5p we buy Terrys Naturally, is a pain killer. Digestion reset. It is very helpful. A miracle in a bottle.
Papaya enzyme stops pain comes as a chewable and resets digestion. Ours is American Health brand.
We use dried papaya fruit as a digestive help. And being a food gives correct nutrition to the gut. We buy at the co op as we do all of the things I am listing. Also available on Amazon. Farm stores usually carry these things too.
Humic acid. This heals the gut provides minerals. You can make it or order black water from the internet this is what I did at the start of our journey and makes it simple. A tablespoon in a beverage. It resets digestion. It heals. It is one of teds top remedies with good reason.
Bs the b6 I mentioned already. To normalize her appetite. There are several ways to do this. Brewers yeast 1 or 2 tbsp added to food is loaded with bs.
Liver you can buy powder in capsules. Or eat lightly cooked liver. Liver is great because it is high in b3 as niacinamide. Niacinamide is needed in the whole body from head to toe. It assists the liver, digestion, brain skin. It is critical in digestion. I buy niacinamide from the Vitamin Shoppe their brand because they do not add regular niacin to it.
Taking b50 or b100 is an option.
These are my thoughts on your needs right now. Because she is in so much pain some baking soda 1/2 hour after she eats would be a basic need in her body. 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of baking soda in water.
Bromelain enzyme helps food digest. Reduces reactions from foods. It relieves pain taken away from food. Amazing stuff. Look for one that does not come with msg added and it is hard to find.
To take magnesium internally 5 drops of mag oil in water is about 250mg or mag citrate capsules. 250mg 2x a day to start.
This will assist her stomach and gallbladder to work optimally helping improve her digestion.
Electrolyte drink 1/4 tsp of sea salt in water. Helps pain and provides needed trace minerals to entire body.
This is where I would start. Mostly though use what you have. Do not get caught up too much in details until you have a chance to get correct stuff. Amazon can get it to you quickly.
For future reference. Look at d3 and selenium yeast as further gut healing and overall health. Janet
Treat the Gallbladder
★★★★★
My son-in-law had this problem for 20 years, stomach pain all the time, could not work for the pain, could not eat or drink, lost weight, they said it was in his head treated him for head problems. All the time it was his gallbladder. It was rotten no stones. We told them to check it, they said it was fine, we found out it just worked sometimes. Had it taken out and he is fine.
Water
★★★★★
For gallbladder issues and problems digesting fats, use betafood. For liver issues use coconut oil in your diet. Add magnesium to your diet for muscle health that affects digestion and elimination and add probiotics.

You can take it as either a tea or a tincture. You can take the tincture by putting a dropperful in a small glass of water. For the tea, I use one teaspoon in one cup of hot water and steep for five minutes. When I have a stomach ache, I won't bother bringing the water to boil since I want to drink it as soon as possible.
