From past experiences, the best home remedy for a sour stomach is ginger ale soda with a hint of lemon. Go to your local grocer and purchase a bottle of ginger ale soda and a lemon. Cut the lemon into thin slices and place about two slices into the bottle. Drank the soda mixture warm.

Bicarbonate of soda, baking soda, can be used to treat sour stomach. Dissolve one-half teaspoon in one-half glass of water and take every two hours, but no more than seven doses in 24 hours or 3 doses if over 60 years. Its sodium content is high, so if you must restrict salt intake, check with your doctor.
