.....the 200mg strength and tummy calming effects, plus easing nausea, make them very good for me when needed.

Hope that they help you as well :)

Ginger tea is very good for nausea. Or you can grate fresh ginger into hot water and drink.

does it help with the dizzyness???

I was just going to add that ginger tea is also good, although I do chop up some fresh ginger root in mine. I would not know about dizziness as that is one thing I do not get (well yet maybe :D)

i have this and its horrid! Try eating 5 prunes and you will be pooping properly again =) prunes are horrible at first but they actually get quite tastey after a while. This is a quick and healthy fix xxx

peppermint tea is great! because it relaxs the digestive muscles, HOWEVER it also relaxes ur sphincter and that can cause heart burn :(

I find peppermint tea does settle an anxious tummy but not sure it helps with dizziness.

if you are dizzy, the best thing is to just lie down somewhere dark. probably not constipation related though.
