ooh, my tummy! (real butter - any ideas?!?)

My mom watched the kids the other day & made gluten-free waffles for breakfast. They called up to brag that they were eating waffles, and I told them that sounded sooo cool since we haven't had them since November.

So my mom carefully made one up for me, buttered it & sent it home with them. I just heated it up, and about halfway through realized that she'd used REAL butter. (I haven't used or eaten real butter in... about 7 years?) And my tummy is sooooo out of sorts now!

I know we've talked on here before about accidentally eating something we didn't want to & how it upsets the digestive system. But does anyone know of any all-natural (MUST be all-natural with my list of allergies) aides to HELP severe stomach upset? Or am I just going to have to tough it through a miserable 4+ days of pain?
love,
mom

Drink a hell of alot of water and fresh fruit to detox your body

Wont be anything bad though except maybe getting to know the toilet a bit better ^_^

 

Oh wow, that sounds terrible. Ginger or peppermint tea helps soothe an upset stomach, and baking soda can help too. I agree about drinking lots of water too. Also, when my stomach is bothering me I find the most soothing food to be something starchy like a bread or plain baked potato. Good luck in feeling better.

 

teaslike peppermint and ginger or green to detox your body...should take about a week to get back to normal

 

Yeah, I was afraid it'd be a waiting game. (sigh) I had the peppermint steeping as I typed my original post. It'll help, but OWIE! I feel like such a baby too... ugh!

Just for giggles - here's my "teacup." It's 24 oz and sturdy enough even for clumsy me! I took this pic a few months ago; having fun with the camera & steam.

One of my more fun pics lately.
love,
mom

 

Ouch, it's always hard when we have a slip-up of that sort! No additional ideas to put in here, just wanted to wish you well! I do second SDL on the green tea though - it might not settle the stomach as well as peppermint, but it'll clean you out better!

I ate something a few days ago that disagreed with me, and it was just one cracker! My love brought home some Triscuits from the break-room at work and, being really busy, I was going to fall back on them as a convenience food. But I didn't realized till it was on it's way down that they were seasoned with MSG. I haven't eaten that crack in years, and I guess it was a shock to my system. It took two or three days for my system to get over it!

 

just get a bunch of pickeled ginger and chow down on that. I think it tastes awsome. Sounds like a good excuse to eat a bunch of pickeled ginger. I suggest pickeled because its easier to eat than raw ginger, but both would work fine.

 

OoOo that's too bad, homeschoolmama! I'm definitely agreeing that there's nothing like tea to soothe the tummy. Another thing you might want to try is a palm-full of cumin. I was soooo sick at one point in Morocco because I accidentally swallowed a piece of egg and even though it came right back up, I felt horrible. One of the Berber women I was staying with came to my aid with the cumin and I'm lucky I love the spice because it was intense... just take it with lots of water (something I didn't have at the time) - but it helped! Hope you're feeling better.
Peace,
