lemon juice for stomach pain - #14888
I am dealing with this stomach pain that's been driving me nuts. It started about a week ago after I ate this really spicy food, which I shouldn’t have, but you know how it is, right? Anyway, on the third day of the pain, my friend suggested I try lemon juice for stomach pain. I was skeptical honestly but figured, why not? I mean, I’ve always heard lemon juice for stomach pain can be helpful. So, I squeezed a whole lemon into some water and drank it down. At first, I felt a bit of relief, like maybe the acid was helping to balance things out, but then the pain came back. Do you think this could be because I didn’t drink it on an empty stomach? Or is lemon juice for stomach pain not really a legit remedy? I really want to avoid going to the doctor if possible, but the discomfort is really annoying! Should I keep trying lemon juice for stomach pain, or is it time to seek other options? I just don’t wanna make it worse, but it’s frustrating not knowing what to do. Any advice?
