Upset Stomach?

A stomach bug has been going around my department at work – and yesterday was my turn.  I came home from work early and took it easy all afternoon.  I also employed some of my favorite home remedies to cure an upset stomach.

  • Before I left work, I tried a cup of tea.  If you’re a regular reader, you may know that I think tea may be the cure for anything – but in this case it didn’t work.
  • On the way home, I stopped at McDonald’s and got a Coke.  As a teenager I worked at McDonald’s and I knew people who swore that the mix at McDonald’s would cure an upset stomach – and although I don’t know for sure if it was the nap or the Coke, it worked!
