Abdominal discomfort and nausea are most characteristically due to dietetic irregularities and indiscretions. There is an emphatic need to reform your diet. Various errors in the diet – over eating, too long periods of starvation between meals, irregular meal timings, consumption of stimulants – aerated beverages, teas, coffees, and frequent eating out, all are responsible for indigestion and stomach upsets.

If not checked immediately, they progress onto graver diseases.

Never depend on –

Artificial laxatives
Vitamin and mineral supplements
Protein shakes

Short fasts become a necessity, every once in a while, to reduce the burden on the stomach. A 2-day fast, every month, consuming only salads, fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables, and juices, will enable complete restoration and cure stomach pain.
Sometimes, excessive consumption of antibiotics may upset the normal bacterial flora in the intestines and interfere with the digestion.
Ripe bananas are an ideal food to combat any alimentary tract disorder. They are highly beneficial, being bland, alkaline, having a mild laxative effect, and very easy to digest.
