When a tummy bug leaves you drained and delicate, rehydration matters most — but you can support the upset gut itself too, not just replace the fluids.
If you want to settle an upset stomach as well as rehydrate, here are the gentle natural picks people reach for alongside fluids.
Why an upset stomach leaves you drained
A stomach upset loses you fluids and minerals fast while the gut works to clear whatever upset it.
- Lost fluids and salts, vomiting and loose stools draining you quickly.
- An irritated gut, the digestive lining unsettled and reactive.
- A depleted, wiped-out feeling, low reserves after a bout of illness.
The short version: an upset stomach drains fluids and unsettles the gut, so rehydrate and support the gut together.
Your natural toolkit — and which to reach for
Here are the gentle natural picks people reach for with an upset stomach. Always rehydrate well, and see your GP for severe or prolonged illness. Many readers also look at our guide to What Can I Take Instead of Omeprazole Long-Term for Reflux?.
