Question 1

Fennel seeds: I think it is likely the turmeric in the tea that is causing you the problems. Try eliminating the turmeric and see how it goes. Good luck.

Question 2

does fennel act like black licorice? i have read that licorice affects blood pressure meds and is not good for cardiac patients.fennel is in tulsi tea

Accepted Answer

No, totally diff.: While fennel tastes like licorice it is a very different plant with diff. effects. Licorice has many benefits but has glycyrrhizic acid, which in LARGE amounts can raise blood pressure. Fennel not only does not raise blood pressure, it lowers it.

Question 4

Ginger: Ginger has been shown to have various health benefits and studies show it to be beneficial for the treatment of nausea / vomiting, depending on the cause. Vernon ginger ale may or may not help, but fresh ginger tea or crystallized ginger is healthier and likely to be more effective.

Question 5

Not a good solution!: Gastritis can be helped by bland foods like milk, ice cream and non spicy, non acidic foods. Also an antacid like maalox would help. If it does not get better within one week, you need to get a check up by your docotr to find the cause of your symptoms.

Question 6

Yes: Probably the simplest way to reduce nausea ; an upset  stomach is with ginger. You can drink slightly flattened ginger ale or nibble on crystallized ginger. Or pour boiling water over freshly sliced organic ginger ; steep x 5 min in a covered pot. Sip.

Question 7

what foods are good for flat stomach?

Accepted Answer

Nothing specific...: Nothing specifically targets the stomach, or any other part of your body.  In order to lose weight you need to cut back on calories and/or burn more calories with exercise.  With that, you will lose weight and fat.  Problem is, for women especially, the stomach may be the last place to thin out, making it hard to not get frustrated. Focus on a healthy diet and weight goal and the rest will come.

Question 8

is sparkling water good for my stomach?

Accepted Answer

Neither good or bad: It is neither good or bad. There are no medicinal qualities.

Question 9

what's a good way to flatten my stomach?

Accepted Answer

More muscle less fat: Even the most toned abdominal muscles will not reveal the abdomen you want if they are buried under a beer gut.  Decreasing body fat is a key component of  'washboard' abs.  That said, anything that strengthens your core (sit ups, crunches, leg lifts, torsion, etc ) all play a role in building those muscles.

Question 10

which medicaiton is good for stomach gases?

Accepted Answer

Stomach gas: Products with simethicone (gas x, for exaple) help break large gas bubbles into smaller one. Frequent gas may be a symptom of acid reflux, for which antacids, acid blockers like zantac, & proton pump inhibitors like Nexium (esomeprazole) & Prevacid are helpful. Gas may also result from lactase deficiency whenever you eat dairy products ; lactaid & dairy ease provide the enzyme to break down milk sugar & stop gas.
