How to cure an upset stomach

Posted by Larisa R. Patient Expert

If you have an upset stomach or food poisoning, take one to two activated charcoal pills. Activated charcoal absorbs toxins from your body to help you recover. Most vitamin and supplement stores have charcoal pills, but you can also find them at your local pharmacy.

Thanks Larisa! I'd also recommend Pepto Bismol (or a generic pink bismuth) to help cure your upset stomach.

And, don't forget Mom's old standbys: Gingerale and Saltines (or plain toast). I often tend to resort to bananas, which are well known for their antacid effcts. Pluse, they're yummy!
