Despite how painful they can feel, aches are very common and treatable. There are many home remedies that soothe the one-off stomach ache that anyone can implement in their daily life.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, some instances of abdominal pain may point to a more serious medical issue. Keep reading to learn more about stomach pain relief, its causes, and when to see a healthcare provider.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"common-causes-of-stomach-pain\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common causes of stomach pain<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abdominal pain can be confusing; sometimes, knowing what causes it is easier said than done. Numerous illnesses, injuries, disorders, and diseases may cause stomach pain, and knowing the direct cause may lead to more effective treatment.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only is the cause important, but the type of abdominal pain can help narrow down what&rsquo;s happening on the inside. The pattern of pain is another indicator of its cause.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, the following are the types of stomach pain you may experience and their telltale signs:&nbsp;<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>General pain <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is felt in most of your stomach<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Local pain<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is felt in a specific area on your stomach<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where general pain may only be a sign of indigestion or gas, certain localized pain can be serious and point toward issues with your internal organs. For example:&nbsp;<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sharp, upper-right abdominal pain <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">may indicate <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/conditions\/gallstones-treatment-and-medications\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gallstones<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which are tiny, hardened pieces of excess cholesterol in your gallbladder.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sharp, lower-right abdominal pain<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and around the belly button<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">may indicate <\/span><b>appendicitis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pattern of your pain also matters when pinpointing the cause of stomach aches. Does the pain happen along with other symptoms? Does it come and go frequently? Does it get progressively worse over time? Acute, chronic, and progressive pain, respectively, all point to different causes.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, <\/span><b>acute pain <\/b><span

Keep this in mind if a healthcare provider prescribes a medication that sounds like one you&rsquo;ve seen on pharmacy shelves before.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few different types in addition to the medications a healthcare provider may prescribe if your stomach pain worsens or persists.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> help treat heartburn, stomach <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/conditions\/ulcer-treatment-and-medications\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ulcers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or excess stomach acid.

If big enough, gallstones can cause a gallbladder attack. To prevent this, a healthcare provider may order a laparoscopic cholecystectomy to remove the gallbladder entirely. Even though losing an organ may sound serious, the body can function without the gallbladder, save a few diet changes.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hernias, when portions of an organ break through weak muscle tissue, are also very painful, commonly occur in the abdomen, and may require surgery to treat. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asahq.org\/madeforthismoment\/preparing-for-surgery\/procedures\/hernia-surgery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laparoscopic hernia surgery<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, like an appendectomy, is minimally invasive and repairs the damaged muscle using a piece of mesh.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other stomach pain-related surgeries may stem from chronic disorders.

However, some choices may hurt rather than help. The following are 8 home remedies that can help soothe the stomach and improve daily comfort.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1-drinking-water\"><strong>1. Drinking water<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Water is essential for the body. It helps absorb nutrients, acts as an appetite suppressant, and can help the body recover from digestive problems. Dehydration can cause a range of stomach problems, from constipation to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/conditions\/acid-reflux-chest-pain-causes\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">acid reflux,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> so <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/angelwater.com\/local-water\/problems-with-water\/constant-stomach-issues\/#:~:text=Stomach%20pain%20often%20results%20from,when%20your%20stomach%20is%20empty.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">drinking plenty of water<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is very important.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The body loses water over a day, not only through sweat but also through breathing and digestion. Replenishing the body is a step in the right direction to getting rid of certain abdominal pain.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be mindful, though: Drinking too much water or too fast can hurt your stomach rather than help.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-ginger\"><strong>2. Ginger<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nccih.nih.gov\/health\/ginger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ginger<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a popular home remedy used for an upset stomach. However, while many swear by drinking ginger ale to help soothe stomach pain, most ginger ales and sodas may not contain actual ginger.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buying and peeling your own fresh ginger root is a more effective way to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6341159\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">use ginger for stomach aches.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Either steeping it in hot water or tea may help the anti-inflammatory elements of ginger soothe your upset stomach. If ginger straight from the root sounds unappealing, candied ginger chews may have the same effect.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few natural ginger ales sold in multiple stores. Look at the ingredients if you prefer soft drinks to the alternatives above.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3-heat\"><strong>3. Heat<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many factors may cause stomach pain, but cramping is one of the most common. Applying heat to the stomach can help relieve pain, relaxing the muscles and taking the pain away. Plug-in heating pads are available at stores and pharmacies, but microwavable alternatives (rice packs or stuffed animals) also work.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only use heat for a short time and with a layer of fabric or clothing between you and the heat. Rest after 20 minutes of heat and reapply if needed.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"4-tea\"><strong>4. Tea<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similar to using ginger in hot water, certain teas possess herbs or ingredients historically used as remedies for an upset stomach.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peppermint tea&rsquo;s menthol is known for its antispasmodic effects, which can help soothe the gastrointestinal tract. Likewise, chamomile also has anti-inflammatory properties. Most people drink it before bed to relax the muscles, but it may also help relax tensed stomach muscles. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"5-apple-cider-vinegar\">5. Apple cider vinegar<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tread carefully with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5788933\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">apple cider vinegar.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> On one hand, it has been found to have properties that can destroy harmful bacteria, namely E. coli. On the other, it may also destroy healthy bacteria your body needs for digestion.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Likewise, although some use it as a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/321579\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">remedy for diarrhea<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, apple cider vinegar is highly acidic. It can damage your esophagus without dilution, putting you at risk for acid reflux.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you try this remedy, mix only one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a large glass of water. You can add a little honey if the mixture tastes too acidic. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"6-make-a-few-dietary-changes\"><strong>6. Make a few dietary changes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many foods may harm your stomach. Pinpointing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gastroconsa.com\/6-diet-changes-to-ease-gastrointestinal-issues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the foods that don&rsquo;t agree with you<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is crucial when relieving abdominal pain. Although everyone is different, a few main foods may lead to indigestion. Acidity, spicy, or fatty foods are known for their ability to cause potential stomach pain and discomfort. Avoiding greasy fast food is also advised.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you experience stomach issues after eating these foods, consider limiting their consumption. See a healthcare provider if you believe it may indicate food intolerance.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some healthcare providers recommend the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregonclinic.com\/diets-BRAT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BRAT diet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, standing for bananas, rice, apples, and toast. This can be especially helpful for those with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, limiting how much alcohol you consume with your meals may help improve your pain levels, especially if you frequently experience bloating.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"7-fiber\"><strong>7. Fiber<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to eliminating certain foods, adding fiber to a diet can help improve pain from constipation. Foods like avocados, apples, raspberries, brussels sprouts, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and nuts are all fiber-rich foods. Fiber supplements, such as Metamucil, can be purchased OTC and help ease constipation.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, do not over-consume fibrous foods. Too much fiber can cause bloating and excess gas.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"8-exercise\"><strong>8. Exercise<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Great for overall health and wellness, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.everydayhealth.com\/ibs\/ibs-and-exercise.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">exercise can help relieve stress<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and stomach pain&ndash;especially for those with chronic issues such as IBS. Research shows that exercise can help ease bloating and improve bowel function if done consistently. Getting into a daily routine may be worth exploring as a fix for digestive problems.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"when-to-seek-medical-care\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When to seek medical care<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mild stomach aches are not rare, but if they last longer and are worse than usual, contact a healthcare provider. Additionally, multiple symptoms should be considered severe and may indicate a medical emergency. These include:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inability to have a bowel movement for days, accompanied by vomiting<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nausea and fever, accompanied by vomiting<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pain during urination<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blood in your urine&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/conditions\/blood-in-stool-with-no-pain-causes\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blood in your stool<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your stomach pain started after an abdominal injury, contact a healthcare provider. There could be an internal injury in need of treatment.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, if OTC medicines for acid reflux or gas pain do not work after two weeks of daily use, see a healthcare provider.
