You know, I don't think I've ever met anyone else who got heartburn from cranberry juice. Fucking cranberry juice.

I know, I know. It's my own damn fault I drank the stuff knowing what it usually does to me. Still, that's just sad, yo!

Believe it or not, that's actually happened to me too.

and me - too high an acidity content I think. Although if the cranberry is mixed with something milder (apple for instance) I can *usually* drink it.

Ditto. Apple juice, in general, seems to be a good settler, for me.

So here's a return question-slash-statement. Ginger is widely reputed to be a stomach settler... and yet I find it makes everything worse when my stomach is upset. Do you find the same thing?

(I use peppermint for a stomach soother instead of ginger.)

You know, I don't think I've ever tried ginger. My remedy knowledge is sadly limited to munching Tums like they're yummy candy.

well, if you're gonna go for candy... LOL. Actually, you might want to try peppermint tea, if you are okay with the taste of herbal teas. Or, you could try ginger - tea or sugared from what I understand.

Tea sounds like a good plan. I'm a big fan, even if herbal's not what I usually go for.

Wow. Go us.
