🤔 What Causes Gastric Pain?

Gastric pain — often described as a burning or gnawing sensation in the upper abdomen — can be incredibly uncomfortable and sometimes even debilitating. It’s commonly caused by:

- Excessive stomach acid,

- Skipping meals or irregular eating,

- Stress and anxiety,

- Overuse of painkillers (NSAIDs),

- Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection,

- Spicy, oily, or acidic foods,

- Prolonged antibiotic use

Understanding the root cause of your gastric pain is the first step to finding long-term relief.

💊 Why Medication Isn't Always the Best Answer

While over-the-counter antacids or acid blockers can offer temporary relief, relying on them long-term may come with side effects like:

- Nutrient malabsorption (especially B12 and calcium),

- Constipation or diarrhea

- Rebound acid,

- production when stopping the medication

That’s why many people turn to natural remedies — gentler solutions that support the body’s healing process without harsh chemicals.

🌿 7 Natural Remedies to Relieve Gastric Pain

Here are seven home remedies you can try to soothe your gastric discomfort — many of which may already be in your kitchen:

1. Ginger Tea

Ginger helps reduce inflammation and improve gastric motility. Sip on warm ginger tea after meals to ease bloating and nausea.

2. Warm Water with Honey

Honey has mild antibacterial properties and helps coat the stomach lining. Drinking a warm glass of honey water on an empty stomach can calm acidity.

3. Bananas

A great food for gastric pain, bananas are low-acid, rich in pectin, and help neutralize excess stomach acid. They're also gentle on an empty stomach.

4. NutriBrownRice® (Original No Sugar Added)

Our favorite! NutriBrownRice® is made from finely milled brown rice, coconut oil powder, and inulin — a natural prebiotic fiber that supports gut health.
It’s warm, soothing, and gastric-friendly — perfect as a light breakfast or pre-bed drink. The Original No Sugar Added variant is especially ideal for those with sensitive stomachs or acid reflux.

5. Coconut Water

Coconut water is alkaline and helps restore the body’s pH balance. It’s refreshing and may help reduce burning sensations.

6. Plain Oatmeal

Oats are rich in soluble fiber, which helps regulate digestion and absorb excess acid. A warm bowl of oatmeal is a perfect morning gastric remedy.

7. Avoid Triggers & Eat Mindfully

Sometimes, the best remedy is prevention. Avoid spicy, oily, or citrusy foods, and try eating smaller, more frequent meals. Also, chew slowly and avoid lying down right after eating.

👩‍⚕️ When to See a Doctor

Natural remedies are helpful, but if your gastric pain persists for more than a few days or is accompanied by:

• Vomiting blood
• Sudden weight loss
• Black or tarry stools
• Severe or sharp abdominal pain

…it’s time to seek medical attention. These could be signs of ulcers, internal bleeding, or more serious digestive conditions.
