What should I do if I feel like vomiting and have a sour stomach?

Sometimes when we eat the wrong food, we will feel acid in our stomach. In severe cases, vomiting may also occur. So what should you do if you have stomach acid and vomiting?

Treatment of excess stomach acid

Paying more attention to your diet can help you achieve twice the result with half the effort:

Do not eat frozen or very hot food or drinks. The temperature of food should be moderate. Tea, water and soup should not be too hot. Don't eat too much spicy, sour, or salty food. The diet should be light, as strong flavors will stimulate the secretion of gastric acid. Eat less irritating foods, such as garlic, onions, chocolate, citrus fruits, mint, tomatoes, etc. A small amount of ginger and pepper can warm the stomach and enhance the protective effect of gastric mucosa. The diet should mainly consist of easily digestible food. Meat should be cooked until well-cooked, and vegetables should not be half-cooked.

Avoid alcohol and coffee. Especially alcohol, which can cause excessive stimulation to the stomach and make ulcers worse.

Eat regularly. It is best to eat less at each meal and eat more frequently. Try not to be so hungry that you have stomach pain. If you feel hungry or have stomach discomfort, eat some snacks first. Don't eat before going to bed. Don't smoke after meals, and it's better not to smoke at all. Elevate your head or the head of your bed when you sleep.
