For All The Tummy Ache Girlies, I Finally Found Some Relief
Am I hot because I have stomach issues? Or, do I have stomach issues because I’m hot? It’s truly a question that nags at me constantly. Because regardless of what I’m doing or where I’m going, I’m bound to have a stomach ache. Running for coffee? Gotta make sure there’s a bathroom within 15 feet. Going to a concert? You better believe there’s Pepto in my bag.
Stomach pain as a woman is also one of the world’s biggest mysteries. Am I cramping because I’m constipated, getting my period, or because I added extra cheese to my Chipotle order yesterday? The world will never know. TG for social media though, because up until people started talking about their tummy aches, I thought I was suffering alone which couldn’t be further from the truth. And because social media is where I go to for any ailment, here are some things girls with tummy aches said would help.

Stay hydrated
Tummy issues can be related to a severe lack of hydration. But, when water and electrolytes aren’t doing the trick, you’ll want to reach for probiotics and gastro-friendly herbs. Hilma’s stomach recovery drink will soothe your stomach from the inside out with coconut water, gojiberry, amla fruit, and more.

Don’t sleep on these ginger chews. I once had to drive up a mountain at 3 am and the only thing that kept me from puking from car sickness was sucking on a ginger chew. Yes, the taste of ginger can be polarizing, but honestly, anything is better than puking out a car window.
