Pages: 1 Flu Medicine Suggestions       #131961 - 12/20/04 05:19 PM Edit Reply Quote mal Reged: 01/30/04 Posts: 9 Loc: Suburbs of IL Looking for flu medicine suggestions. Many of the over the counter medicines upset my stomach(probably because they contain sorbitol). Does anyone know of a gentle medicine? Thanks!

I find that peeling and slicing a fresh ginger root and boiling it in water for 20 mins. and then drinking it as a tea is the best thing. It helps with congestion, sore throat and tummt upset.

It really works! -------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages: "You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

Just add lots of honey or brown sugar to it as it gets pretty "spicy".
