Top 5 Natural (if Sometimes Boozy) Remedies for Stomach Glut

Are you in training for Thanksgiving yet? Downing a half-loaf of bread a morning, or two roast chickens for dinner? Because starving yourself in preparation for gluttony is not the way to go. You have to stretch the stomach beforehand -- and stock plenty of antacids for after. Following the "Ask for forgiveness, not permission" approach to Thanksgiving dining, here are our top 5 natural-ish indigestion remedies. Use them to quell your post-stuffing rumbling long enough to watch the game.

Let's start with the classic, shall we? The box you reach for when it's too late to run to the store for Tums and you don't have anything better in the house. Stir 1 tablespoon into a short glass of water and chug. Cough. Reach for a spoonful of pumpkin pie to cover up that metallic aftertaste. Consider this the first step in paying for your sins.

If anyone would have a recovery strategy for a feast of meat and potatoes, it'd be the Germans. Jägermeister, of course, is the most famous German digestif, or post-dinner drink. But since a generation of us associate the word "Jäger" with the word "bomb," bringing out a bottle after a meal may lead to nostalgic body shots and purging. The German digestif to share with your adult friends is Underberg, which comes in one-shot bottles. Peel off the paper, crack the lid, and pour it down your throat -- it's heavy on the licorice and baking spices and bitter as hell, but it works. (The bottle pictured cost less than $2 at DeLaurenti, FYI.) 1 | 2 | 3| Next Page >>

With the new City Attorney (although he hasn't taken office yet) basically legalizing pot, I'd suggest that as a viable option as well. Not only will it quell your acid reflux, it'll get you right back up to the table for thirds.
