How to help stomach pain?

I had severe cramps last month and immediately thought it was appendicitis or something bad. It turned out to be just heavy gas from some restaurant food. A simple hot water bag on the tummy and a light walk helped me feel normal again.

Does anyone else get a dull, constant ache right in the center of the stomach after eating oily food? I've been feeling this for two days now and a hot water bag only helps for an hour. Is this just normal indigestion or should I get a scan?

Sometimes gut issues and bloating are linked to slow digestion from thyroid imbalances. If you have chronic stomach pain along with fatigue, please get a thyroid profile and consult your doctor rather than just taking antacids.

I was reading about how stress can directly affect your stomach lining and cause cramps. It's crazy how much our gut is connected to our brain. Taking deep breaths and eating light, non-spicy food for a day usually works for me.

Whenever I get a mild stomach ache, I just stick to eating khichdi with curd for a couple of meals and avoid tea or coffee. It really helps soothe my system, but if it doesn't get better by next morning, I always visit my local doctor.
