The kind of pain you're having determines what will be the most helpful. You didn't say where the pain is or what it feels like, so I'll just give you some general suggestions.
If the pain is above your bellybutton (feels like burning in your chest, nausea, taste of acid in the back of your throat, or other symptoms associated with heartburn/acid reflux):
1. Sip on cool water, it will help dilute the acid reflux in your stomach and make it less caustic.
2. Ginger. Chew on ginger candies, make ginger tea, or drink ginger ale. Ginger is an excellent herb for treating nausea. I keep a box of ginger candies on hand at all times and chew on one whenever my stomach gives me a hard time, I swear by them.
3. Suck on a lemon drop, or better yet, squeeze some lemon juice into a glass of water and sip. Lemon is also great for neutralizing an upset stomach.
4. Anything minty. Try peppermint tea, peppermint candies, or even mint gum if that's all you have. If you have bad acid reflux though, mint might make the problem worse because it relaxes your sphincter valve, so use with caution.
5. Apple cider vinegar. It tastes disgusting but if you mix a spoonful or two of apple cider vinegar in 4-8 oz. of water and add honey, the taste is tolerable. Sip the diluted mixture and it will help relieve acid-related stomach pain, although it is by far the least appealing of all the suggestions taste-wise. It is almost guaranteed to work, though, if all else fails.
If the pain is below your belly button (cramping, sharp pains, diarrhea, constipation, etc.):
