Congrats to the Green Bay Packers for their Super Bowl win! And my condolences to you for your post-Super Bowl indigestion. Believe me, I'm right there with you this morning – one too many chicken wings, I should say. But I suppose that is all part of the excitement of the Super Bowl. Who will win? What the best ad will be? How much chili can I eat without regretting it tomorrow morning? It's all just part of the fun.
But since it is now the day after Super Bowl, we are all left to tend to our tender stomachs. And so I've complied a short list of some of my favorite post-Super Bowl remedies in the hopes that they will help soothe your achy stomach, calm that irritable bowel, and smother that heartburn's fire.
- Don't eat the leftover pizza. Sure it is an easy meal, and who doesn't love that slice of cold morning pizza? But it is not going to help in any way. So put it down and make yourself a simple breakfast.
- Drink plenty of water and eat a couple of bran muffins – just to help get things moving along.
- Misery loves company, so tell everyone you know how badly you are feeling. Chances are, they feel the same way, and you can establish a temporary tummy ache support group.
- Mint, ginger, yogurt, and Pepto also help settle that queasy stomach.
- And lastly, play that Johnny Cash CD you have tucked away – particularly the song, “Ring of Fire.” Sure this one does nothing to actually help with the diarrhea. But it does seem oddly applicable.
