Does vomiting help indigestion?

Actually trying to force vomit for indigestion is a really bad idea yaar. It might feel like it cleared the heavy feeling for five minutes, but it just brings up stomach acid and burns your throat. Better to have some warm water or just walk around a bit.

I used to think throwing up would cure my heavy stomach, but my doctor warned me it ruins the stomach lining. Now, whenever I get severe indigestion, I completely avoid heavy food for 12 hours and drink plain buttermilk with roasted cumin. It works much better and is way safer.

My family physician explained that vomiting only empties the stomach but doesn't fix the underlying digestive enzyme issue. In fact, doing it regularly can lead to severe electrolyte imbalance and damage your tooth enamel due to the acid. He strictly advised me to use prescribed digestion aids or lifestyle changes instead.

Not at all, don't do that to your poor stomach! 😅 It feels tempting when you've overeaten, but it just leaves a bad taste and ruins your mood. Just relax, sit upright, and maybe have some ginger tea.

I was always scared to try this because it seems so painful. Does throwing up actually make the acidity worse in the long run? I just drink hot water with ajwain when my stomach feels bloated.

Oof, been there after eating way too many chole bhature! Honestly, forcing a vomit is the worst path to take. I just lie down with my head elevated and promise myself to eat light khichdi the next day.
