Aw, Rhapsody, you beat me to it! I was going to suggest peppermint candy, too, LOL! That's what I usually take when my stomach is hurting, or if I feel too full. One day, I was in the car with my boyfriend, and I was eating a peppermint stick I'd gotten from Cracker Barrel because I'd eaten too much, and he had, too, but he thinks the idea of eating candy when you're full is sickening (a lot of people do), but he told me, just the scent of my peppermint made him feel better.

However, I also agree with Perna. It depends on why your stomach hurts. I don't know what to tell you about helping yourself cry, but I hope the peppermint will help.
