If it was a sandwich, then it could be the bread (I'm gluten-intolerant - anything with wheat in bloats me something chronic)!.

There are several herbs that will help - the most obvious one being peppermint (try drinking a mug of peppermint tea - it's always worked for me!. Just a side 'did you know!.!.!.!?' that it was the Romans who invented the 'after-dinner mint'!.!.!.!? They always used to chew peppemint leaves after one of their many huge banquets because of its action to aid digestion and the passage of food through the intestines!.)

Ginger is also an excellent 'de-bloater' and, again, it's available as a tea!.

Lemon balm is also excellent, but I've never seen lemon balm tea (at least not in the Holland & Barratts round here) but the leaves are very pleasant to chew and I think it's available in lozenge form!.

Finally, there's sage, but I'm not sure what forms it's available in - I don't think I've ever seen sage tea, for example!.

Hope that helps a bit!.

By the way - is this the first time you've had a reaction to either dairy or wheat!? Try eating cheese sans bread and see what happens, and then bread sans cheese, to ascertain which it might be!. If it is the first time, then I'd (probably) ignore it (but not if it occurs again!.!.!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com

i was gunna say the same thing as TX2step!.!.!.!.sound like your lactose intolerant!.

Congratulations!.!.!.!.now you can stop eating dairy and your stomach will thank you!.

remember Milk is for babies and for making little cows into big cows!.!.!.!.it has also made little people in to big cows also!. LOLWww@FoodAQ@Com

sounds like you're lactose-intolerant!.!.!.!.!. do you notice the bloating with most dairy products!? There are soy cheeses (in the produce section, near the tofu), that you should try!.!.!.!.!.!.It will usually go away after a couple of hours!. But, I find that lemon or lime juice in cold water, or hot tea, make me feel better!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

try mixing a tablespoon of baking soda in with a glass of room temperature water and drink it fast, you will belch and burp and fart, in a matter of minutes, and you will feel much better, but hey that sandwich sounds good thoughWww@FoodAQ@Com

You may be sensitive to raw onion, I know I am!. Try fruit salts or Alka Seltzer (much easier to drink if made with very cold water)!.
Or if you want a more natural remedy, mint tea, chamomile or coriander seed tea!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Could be wheat or lactose that caused it!. Try drinking peppermint tea, or some water with peppermint extract!. Or Zantac!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

sometimes the only thing that will make my stomach ache go away is a can of regular coke!.!. cold and slowly sipped!.!. you burp a lot and then you are all better!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

hi i know its a bit late but drink a glass of milk slowley and its the best for owt if you cant drink milk a warm hot water bottle with some paracetamolWww@FoodAQ@Com
