How to Cure a Stomach Ache Fast

You may experience a stomach ache for a variety of different reasons. Some causes of stomach aches include serious diseases, such as bowel disease or even cancer. Other more common causes of stomach aches include constipation, flu, gas, food poisoning or lactose intolerance. If you have a stomach ache, you can take steps to alleviate the pain quickly. Various treatments are available to help you cure your stomach ache fast.

Things You'll Need
  • Doctor
  • Fiber supplements
  • Laxatives
  • Stool softeners
  • Water
  • Enema
  • Gas medication
  • Ginger
  • Heating pad
  • Pain medication
Consider your stomach ache. If the pain feels similar to a stomach ache you've had in the past, it's likely caused by the same issue you had before. Generally, mild to moderate stomach aches are caused by gas, constipation, flu, food poisoning or indigestion. If you have an intense stomach ache, see your doctor immediately as it could be the sign of a more serious underlying problem.

Treat constipation. If you haven't had a bowel movement recently, your stomach ache is likely due to constipation. Take over-the-counter fiber supplements, laxatives or stool softeners, which can encourage bowel movements. Drink plenty of water to aid in the passing of your stool. If you wish to cure your stomach ache in the fastest manner available, opt for an enema, which generally causes a bowel movement within an hour of use.


Take gas medication. If you suspect your stomach ache is due to indigestion or gas, you can take over-the-counter medications to treat the issue. Such medication will relieve pressure from the gas, helping to alleviate your stomach ache quickly.

Consume ginger. This natural remedy is often used to remedy stomach aches. You can eat either fresh ginger or drink ginger tea or ginger ale. There are also ginger lozenges or chews available in most health and drug stores.


Use heat. Place a heating pad on the area of your stomach that hurts. The heat will help to alleviate stomach pain as it relaxes the muscles in the area. Apply the heat for approximately 10-minute intervals.

Try pain relievers. Over-the-counter oral pain medications such as acetaminophen can alleviate pain from a stomach ache. Avoid aspirin or ibuprofen, which can encourage bleeding, making them poor choices for stomach aches.

Rest. If your stomach ache is due to food poisoning or intestinal flu, there is unfortunately no known cure. You simply have to wait for the illness or suspect food to pass through your body. If you rest, your immune system will be better fortified to fight off the issue, thereby helping to cure your stomach ache more quickly.

Sparkling Water May Lead to Weight Gain

Sparkling water may be the reason you’re piling on the pounds, according to scientists.

Carbonated water is often viewed as a healthy alternative to sugary drinks or booze, but the fizzy drink may not be anywhere near as diet-friendly as it appears.

New research has suggested that sparkling water may actually be making you feel empty, encouraging you to eat more than you would otherwise.

The Daily Mail reports that the carbon dioxide, which gives the drink its fizz can trigger a hunger hormone, prompting us to scoff more food as a result.

This finding is based on a study of rats’ behavior, with researchers giving rodents different drinks and monitoring their relative weight gain.

Scientists from Birzeit University in the Palestinian West Bank also tested their findings on humans, noting that the hunger hormone ghrelin spikes in people after drinking sparkling water.

People who had sparkling water for breakfast were found to have six times the ghrelin level of those who had still water.


In tests on rats, scientists noted the rodents that drank fizzy drinks along with their normal diets ate more than rats who were given still water and "flat" soft drinks.

And those findings held true for rats given carbonated water, as well as for those which had zero-calorie versions of fizzy drinks.

Tam Fry, of the National Obesity Forum, said: “The Department of Health must now curb the use of any chemicals that impinge on health and that should include carbon dioxide if this effect is replicated in further studies.”

But not everyone is as convinced by the study.

Gavin Partington, director of The British Soft Drinks Association hit back, saying: “There is no body of scientific evidence that carbon dioxide contained in soft drinks — or even beer — causes increased hunger or obesity.

“It is bad science just to assume an outcome from a study on rats will be the same for humans.”

Secret Health Tips Celeb Trainers Swear By

From Instagram to the red carpet, celebrities like Heidi Klum are totally nailing it in the hot bod department. We're sure this supermodel learned a thing or two about striking the perfect pose on the catwalk of countless Victoria's Secret Fashion Shows, but the real secret comes from working with A-list personal trainers that know all the ingredients for achieving a flawless physique. 

While I won't be walking down a runway any time soon, I'm always looking for ways to improve my fitness, and what better place to go for advice than the experts themselves! 

Here are 5 health secrets some of Hollywood's top personal trainers swear by.

Water is king
We've all heard that drinking eight glasses of water can help us prevent dehydration and flush unnecessary toxins from our systems. But according to FitFusion trainer Andrea Orbeck, who's worked with celebs like Heidi Klum, water is also crucial for keeping our bodies in prime shape. In fact, Orbeck told me she downs "at least half a gallon of water" every single day. 

H20 is also on the list of daily essentials for celebrity trainer Reggie Chambers, whose A-list clientele includes stars like Christina Ricci and Allison Williams  of HBO's Girls. "I drink tons of water," Reggie told me in an interview. "Most people don't realize how much water the body needs."

Sip some green tea
When he's not drinking water, Chambers says he'll often enjoy some green tea on most days. "Green tea increases your metabolism and the caffeine improves your endurance and helps you work out longer," he told me. 


Green tea can also be a great option for anyone actively trying to reduce their daily caffeine intake. While green tea isn't completely caffeine free, it does contain less caffeine than your average cup of coffee or espresso, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Abs are made in the kitchen
While planks and V-ups are certainly great ways to tone your midsection, Orbeck says that eating poorly will almost always sabotage the work you put in at the gym. When I asked her if the average person needed to spend hours at the gym to achieve a fit body, she said, "It depends on how much time they spend in the kitchen eating horribly." 

She explains that when you eat healthy, there's no need to kill yourself at the gym for hours every day. "If you eat 80% of your meals with clean and lean in mind, you can spend less than an hour [exercising], 3 to 4 days a week, as long as you train hard, smart and efficient."

Some food just isn't worth the calories
With a hot body comes great responsibility. Sure, we'd all like to think that it's possible to have six-pack abs and eat whatever we want, but unfortunately, that's just not the way it works. The truth is that there are certain foods super-fit celebs — and their trainers — just won't touch, no matter how yummy and tempting them may seem.

Chambers, for example, told me he avoids milkshakes at all costs. "Too many calories, not enough nutrients," he told me. For Orbeck, it's fast food. "Anything prepared by the restaurant with the golden arches sign: never!"

Hello, plyo
From Yoga to kickboxing, there are no shortage of options when it comes to getting our sweat on. And while any physical activity is better than nothing, Orbeck explains that certain exercises are more effective than others, especially when you're short on time.

"Quick combinations of weighted squats with anything plyometric or high intensity heart rate work," she told me, when I asked about her favorite quick workout routines. "It's astonishing how you can end up in a pool of sweat in less than 10 minutes when you ask your legs to perform heavy and fast movements."
