An upset stomach can come from many things and before you treat it, you need to find out what caused it. Indigestion, flu, motion sickness, heartburn and food poisoning can all cause nausea and the remedies vary depending on what caused the stomach to get upset.

Instructions :
Things You'll Need:

* Cola
* Antacids
* Ginger Ale
* Chamomile Tea

Remove yourself from the cause of your upset stomach if you can identify it. Nausea from motion sickness or foul fumes often goes away quickly on its own.

Drink ginger ale or chamomile or peppermint tea if you've overeaten or have the flu. They should all soothe your stomach.

Drinking cola works well for some people, too.

Take antacids for heartburn. They'll make you feel better by neutralizing the acid in your stomach. Keep in mind that they may cause constipation or diarrhea with overuse.

Avoid alcohol, cigarettes, aspirin and ibuprofen, since they can exacerbate nausea.
