You need to get out of something. Maybe it's a meeting, or maybe it's school. Whatever it is, a stomach ache may just do the trick. No one can prove you don't have the symptoms of a stomach ache. Just display symptoms, and people will have to believe you, as long as you play your part well.

  1. 1

    Talk about your symptoms. Talk about how you're sick to your stomach. Then say that you've had diarrhea and you've thrown up. The other person can't prove you haven't had these symptoms unless they've been close enough to witness your actions.[1]

    • If you're talking to your parents, you could say, "I've had diarrhea, and I've vomited. I feel really sick."
    • If you're talking to someone you're not as close to, you could say, "I've had stomach... issues today. I'm feeling pretty bad."
  2. 2

    Skip eating or drinking. When you're trying to show you have a stomach ache, chowing down on a eggs and a side of bacon is not going to help your case. Instead, you can say you don't want to eat because your stomach hurts.[2]

  3. 3

    Hold your stomach. When you have a stomach ache, you often can't resist holding your stomach or rubbing it gently. It's an unconscious attempt to alleviate the pain. If you're trying to fake a stomach ache, try rubbing your belly gently like it hurts.

    • You could also add some light moaning now and then. However, if you're at work, moaning may be a bit much.
  4. 4

    Hurry to the bathroom. While you can't fake things like diarrhea and vomit, you can fake going to the bathroom. Grip your stomach or cover your mouth, and then hurry away to the restroom. Try making retching noises, or even using a phone to play fake noises. Go to the bathroom several times in a short period, such as two to three times in the course of an hour.[3]

    • At work, just running to the bathroom every now and then should be sufficient.

  1. 1

    Fake a fever. Often, a fever will accompany a stomach problem, so you can try to fake one to help sell it. For instance, you can make yourself warm by placing a warm washcloth over your face or completely covering your head with a blanket for a few minutes.[4]

    • You can also warm up a thermometer by running it under warm water or drinking a warm drink before having your temperature taken in your mouth.
  2. 2

    Try adding chills. Often, when you have a stomach ache, you may get chills to accompany your stomach issue, particularly if you've thrown up. You could try shivering or burrowing under a blanket like you can't get warm.

    • If you're out somewhere, try putting on a sweater, or rubbing your arms like you can't get warm.
  3. 3

    Act like you don't have any energy. A stomach problem can really drain you, so you have to look the part, too. Act like you can hardly move, and that getting up is draining. You'll have to keep this act up because if you suddenly get a burst of energy, others may get suspicious.[5]

  1. 1

    Stick to one story. If you say your stomach is hurting in one area, don't let the pain move around. If you start changing up your story, people are going to think you aren't telling the truth.[6]

  2. 2

    Ask if there's something for an upset stomach. One way to help sell your story is to try to get medication for it. You could say, "Do we have anything for stomach aches? I don't feel so good. I may throw up."

    • At work, you could try popping tums or asking co-workers for medications.
  3. 3

    Stall for time. Sometimes, you just have to buy enough time to get out of the thing you don't want to do. That is, maybe you just have to stall enough to miss the bus or the start of the boring dinner. Then you're home free.[7]

    • However, don't immediately perk up. You may still have to do what you wanted to get out of, but you'll just be late.
  4. 4

    Don't overdo it. A bellyache is one thing. It can get you out of school or work. However, you don't want fake something so serious you get sent to the hospital. For instance, sharp pains in your lower right abdomen can indicate appendicitis, which will definitely win you a trip to the hospital.[8]

  • Question

    What do you do if your stomach hurts and your parents aren't at home?

    Community Answer

    If you have a mild stomach ache, you're probably fine. If you are in a lot of pain, though, try to call your parents. You can also find a neighbor. If you can't do either of those, you can call 9-1-1 if you think your stomach pains truly are bad enough to be an emergency.

  • Question

    How do you make fake vomit?

    Community Answer

    You could try mixing several foods together, such as oatmeal and something to give it color; try oranges or beets, for instance.

  • Question

    What if your mom wants you to take the medicine in front of her?

    Community Answer

    Most medications aren't going to hurt you to take them, even if you don't have a stomach ache. However, you may want to confess.

  • Question

    How do I fake taking the medicine if my parents give me some?

    Community Answer

    Put the medicine in a place only you will know where it is and drink water.

  • Question

    What if I really don't want to go somewhere, but I'm nowhere near my period. Could I still say I have period cramps?

    Community Answer

    Of course you can say it. They will probably believe you, unless your parents actually keep track of when you have your period, which is unlikely.

  • Be careful about getting better. Don't wake up the next morning fine. Say you feel much better but not great.

  • If someone asks, "Are you lying to me?" just say, "Why would I lie to you?"

  • If you have to take medicine in front of someone, just put it in your mouth, don't swallow, then spit it out later.
