Home Indigestion Remedy

arkonite_babe

1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
approx 1/2 inch of lukewarm water
splash of milk

mix all three together and throw back really quick as it tastes vile, but it really does work for trapped wind and indigestion.

Good if you're stuck with no other alternative in the house.

My Dearest Dad always used Bicarb for indigestion.

you cant beat it I always have some strong coffee orsomething to knock back to take the taste away but by gum it hits the spot doesnt it

thats all rennies are bicarb of soda with a bit of peppermint to take the taste away so many peeeps think its the peppermint that makes your tum better as well when actually I recon it makes you worse, ever drank peppermint cordial??? ;D

arkonite_babe

funnily enough, peppermint or a hot drink sometimes works for me.

cathy_3

a lot of people say that but it cripples me

then again since going on the low carb diet I never ever get indigestion and I used to keep rennies in buisness

A tbsp of cider vinegar in a half tumbler of water will take care of wicked indigestion, as well. I used it when I was preggers and the doc said my blood pressure was getting too high from the salt in the bicarb.

I can vouch for the cider vinegar idea  :)

Adding a teaspoon of honey will make it more palatable!

Can you not add some cake flavouring to the Bicarb to make it more palatable?

cathy_3
