* Anti-acids can settle your stomach, but too much can prevent digestion. Taking regular anti-acids also tends to cause your stomach to produce more acid over time (up regulation).
* I have found that some types of soda, mainly cola, makes my stomach overly acidic.
* Running at too hard can cause [[Nausea|nausea ]] and stomach problems. This is believed to be because of insufficient blood flowing to the stomach. Running on a completely empty stomach can help if you have this problem when performing. See [[Introduction to Interval Training]]
* If you suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition in which backward flow of acid from the stomach causes heartburn and possible injury of the esophagus, you should talk to your doctor. Prilosec OTC works for some.
