Natural Strategies For Abdominal Pain Relief

By Timothy Schmidt


Many people regularly experience gastrointestinal distress. This is actually a debilitating issue in many instances. Luckily, there are a number of natural ways to alleviate this type of discomfort. Following are several, easy strategies for promoting rapid and lasting, abdominal pain relief.

In most cases, this is discomfort that is the direct result of excess intestinal gas. When gas starts to build, the pressure can quickly become overwhelming. Mix baking soda or sodium bicarbonate with a small amount of warm water and drink it. This is going to break the gas down so that your body can pass it. Baking soda and water can additionally resolve acid indigestion and reflux.

Walking is also another excellent strategy for alleviating abdominal bloating, gas and pain. Surprisingly, your discomfort may be due to constipation. Walking will cause the gas to move through your system so it can be expelled. It will also stimulate a normal bowel movement for rapid relief.

Stress is a common cause of abdominal discomfort. If you are worried about your finances, your job, your family, or your romantic relationship, this worry will manifest as tension within the stomach. This is why people who are stressed are constantly rubbing or patting their stomach. Fear also causes the body to release chemicals that upset the balance of the stomach.

When this is the case, working out can be very helpful. Low-impact and relaxing activities can alleviate your stress by giving you something else to focus your attention on. This is also stimulates better digestion, increased blood flow and regulates your breathing. After you have completed your workout, your body is going to be filled with feel-good endorphins which are special chemicals that both alleviate stress and alleviate tummy discomfort.

Sometimes people try eating different types of food to alleviate this discomfort. More often than not, however, fasting is a far better strategy. Fasting give the digestive system a rest which in turn allows it to resolve problems and catch up on activities that might be falling behind. Just one to two days of fasting is often sufficient. When you look at wild animals you will see that in nature, fasting is often a natural and instinctive strategy for dealing with pain. Digestive processes cause a lot of stress and thus, they can indeed impact natural healing and immunity.

You should consider fasting on a regular basis if you deal with gastrointestinal stress on a regular basis. When your fast is complete, add one food back into your diet at a time. This will help you to determine if food allergies are what's causing your issues so that you can change your diet as needed. It could be that your are allergic to gluten, soy, nuts or dairy.

If you have a fever along with stomach pain, consider consulting with a medical doctor. This might mean that you have a blockage in your intestines or that you have an infection along the intestinal tract. Getting medical treatment is all the more important for those with Irritable Bowel Sydrome or Crohn's disease who have both fevers and severe pain.
