Need tummy relief? Call Ginger!


A lot of studies and homeopathic trials have shown that ginger can settle the stomach. If you think you have been cross contaminated or ingested gluten and those tell-tale gut problems begin to show their ugly (and stinky) face, try popping in come ginger candy or tea. People's Pharmacy sells the candies and the Persimmon-Punch (which is a lovely cocktail of ginger and cinnamon).

I, personally, have not tried this. So, in fact, I'm endorsing an idea that I do not have any personal experience with. However, I have heard of this remedy for years and was told when I was pregnant and feeling nauseated to try ginger. I never did... because I'm stubborn and emotionally unstable when pregnant, so my theory was that simply whining and complaining should solve the problem. And if it didn't, then that meant everyone was out to get me. This past weekend I had a bad stomach as a result of drinking a liquor that was likely not gluten free. I was paying the price the next day. So I did my research about this ginger miracle and will be getting the tea and candies to keep in my purse just incase this happens again!

Which it won't. Because I'm perfectly careful and never make gluten mistakes.
