You need Pepto-Bismol. That bubblegum-pink liquid is basically a firefighter for your stomach. It coats the lining and tells the chaos to cool its jets. If you don’t have any, chew a Tums or two. Surprising Fact: Pepto-Bismol contains bismuth, the same stuff used in ancient cosmetics. So yes, you are literally fighting nausea with 3,000-year-old face paint. Embrace the weirdness.
Don’t chug water. You’ll just make a sad, sloshy soup in there. Take tiny sips of something with electrolytes—pickle juice, coconut water, or a sports drink that tastes like a melted watermelon Jolly Rancher. Your cells are parched, but your stomach is a toddler having a tantrum. Treat it gently.
