Home Remedies for Stomach Ache
"Eat an herb which aids digestion, such as ginger (ginger-ale, or ginger snaps), peppermint (gum and candy cane as long as it is real peppermint) or Aloe Vera Juice (an anti-parasitic that tastes terrible but aids digestion). Similar herb teas that help digestion include mint, ginger or chamomile tea.
Take a small piece of ginger and grate it. Thereafter, squeeze out its juice. Apply the juice on the bottom of your belly and massage gently. It is an effective home remedy for stomach ache.
Drink regular tea with freshly squeezed lemon or honey. This will definately help in the relaxation of the stomach. Do not put sugar in the tea if you are drinking it with lemon or honey. This will make the tea useless.
Eat yogurt. It contains bacteria your stomach is lacking during an upset stomach. My microbiology professor and others have said this and I personally tried it and it works.
Loosen your belt. If your stomach is distended from IBS, you can loosen your belt. If you're tightly buttoned and belted up, try switching to comfortable, loose clothing, which can ease the pressure on your aching stomach, says Dr. Borum. (It's obvious only after you think of it.)
Take the charcoal from the fire and mash it up in a small cup(preferably plastic so it don't shatter when mashing up the charcoal)add just enough water to cover the smashed charcoal and drink it. I have seen the military do this before so i know that it will work. It will be pretty hard to get it down because it tastes really bad but you will feel alot better if you get it down guaranteed. Or if you have charcoal tablets, just take however many the package says. I promise this will work."
Cola syrup works. If you do not have that, drink flat Coca-Cola. If you have gripe water, that is also good for adults, and you can try that as well.

dark soda. the fountain kind.
my son has cancer, and the biggest side effect is a sick stomach. the oncologist told us that dark soda syrup mixed with the carbonation from a fountain soda calms the acid in your stomach. it won't work as well from a can or bottle.
we had been using 7up, sprite & ginger ale. nope. also, peppermint or ginger is up there with the dark soda syrup. you can take it in tea or, suck on peppermint candies or gum. so far the soda has worked the best for our son.

Since ginger ale isn't working try Seltzer. That should help. Feel better.
