Goodmorning,
I was on vacation for the first 2 weeks of july and ate garbage the whole 2 weeks! Shame on me but I did have a good time doing it My stomach is a mess and still recovering from it 3 weeks later. Is there anything out there that can make me feel better?
Thanks ! Is there a kind of tea or other remedy that I can try?

Yup, can relate

Lots and lots of water w/lemon does the trick. Peppermint tea is great too. Actually, any herbal tea, even green tea is wonderful at detoxifying the body. Make a big batch and sweeten it w/stevia and drink throughout the day. Along with lots of fresh fruit and veggies, can't forget those . You're stomach will be back to normal in no time

Take care,

Natasha

Slippery elm bark powder is great if you can find it. It's in the bulk section of my local health foods store. It forms a slimy mucous-y substance in water which coats the inside of the digestive tract. It will help with constipation, diarrhea, and general inflammation and digestive unease.

When I had stomach ulcers, bleeding, inflammation and a hiatal hernia, the slippery elm helped more than any of the prescriptions I was given.

It tastes like cardboard on its own but smells like maple! After all it is tree bark...

I would usually add a heaping tablespoonful of it to about half a cup of boiling water, add some honey and cinnamon, and eat it with a spoon. It's kind of like cream of wheat, just more slimy.

Funny enough, I actually hadn't had any of the stuff in probably over a year, but after going on vacation last weekend and eating restaurant crap I actually had some as soon as I got back!

Of course I would also second the lots of water and loading up on produce!
