Barb's Medical Minute
If you have an upset stomach, reach for one of these tummy-soothing foods:

  • APPLESAUCE- has soluble fiber which absorbs liquid to alleviate diarrhea.
  • COCONUT WATER-replaces fluids and electrolytes without sugar. GINGER-helps soothe an upset stomach and prevent nausea.
  • PEPPERMINT-calms the muscles of the stomach and improves the flow of bile to digest fat.
  • ROLLED OATS- has fiber which helps regulate digestions and bind stool to relieve diarrhea.
  • CRACKERS or TOAST- or any food with high levels of starch which absorb gastric acid and settles a queasy stomach.
  • BANANAS- helps replenish the body with potassium and fluids than can be lost from vomiting.
  • HERBAL TEA-such as chamomile relaxes muscles to relive gas and eases discomfort from belly bloat.
  • RICE-easy to digest because it lacks fiber and can help firm up stool to relieve diarrhea.
  • SOUP- easy to digest and provides vitamins and nutrients.
  • YOGURT- is probiotic rich that can enhance the gut microbiota for improved digestive health.
Easy, simple, cheap, and no doctors!! Enjoy your Easter Feast!!

Stewardship and Outreach Emphasis
The tradition of education in Lutheran churches has a long history! Did you know that within one generation, the German people became literate due to Luther’s education programs? You are invited to be part of this tradition by joining the Christian Education committee at Emmanuel. We want your ideas and energy to help plan and promote programs and events. Please contact Kathy Anderson if you want more information: ktanders55@ yahoo.com
