Unsolicited Medical Advice

Also, applesauce!

If you are feeling extra gassy/bloated, I have found that the following things help me when I feel that way:

1. Baking soda/water combo. The directions are on the box of baking soda, and it seriously works. You may just have to burp it out. Or fart it out. But it gets the gas pockets down. Plus, it's a base! It'll neutralize the acid in your stomach. (I also use it when I get heartburn.)

2. Eating an orange. I don't know why this works, but it does. Also, I haven't done eaten an orange in a long time for that purpose.

3. Mint tea. Jasmine made me some when I visited her and thought my stomach was going to die.

Ooh, natural remedies. Fancy.
