Abdominal pain causes Lower abdominal pain can be a result of many factors. Some could be as simple as chronic constipation, gas, heartburn, or indigestion. Other causes include stomach flu, hernia, kidney stones, cancer, parasitic infections, food poisoning, and appendicitis.
While most of the above causes need to be diagnosed and treated by a medical practitioner, temporary relief can be obtained using some simple remedies.
Drinking warm water with a twist of lemon can help ease the discomfort. A variety of herbal teas like fennel, dill, coriander, and chamomile can help the pain to abate.
This tea can be brewed at home by boiling a teaspoonful of chamomile and ½ a teaspoonful of dill or fennel in two cups of water. After the herbs have steeped in the hot water for about 10 minutes you can drink as little as ¼ cup to experience relief. Chamomile is an excellent remedy, as it has no known side-effects on the body.
If the pain is experienced immediately after meals, avoid difficult-to-digest foods that are processed, greasy, fried, and high in fat. Control the intake of caffeinated/carbonated drinks, like coffee, black tea, and colas. Acidic fruit like oranges, and cooked tomatoes should also be avoided to cleanse the system.
