USE THIS REMEDY IF:
you have a feeling of queasiness or nausea in the morning, after eating, after eating rich food, or after drinking alcohol.This is a general digestive remedy. It can relieve complaints associated with indigestion from stress, emotional upset, or eating too late in the evening. It should help relieve fullness and pressure in the stomach, hiccoughs, burping and gas, and even mild stomach pain or discomfort.
Most upset stomachs are not due to an acid imbalance, so antacids are not usually the best remedy, even though they are heavily advertised as such. Antacids are heavy on salt, or contain aspirin, which is a problem for many people. Antacids containing bicarbonates actually create gas in the stomach.
