Default Nausea & LC Solutions

I am taking a medication for an unrelated problem to my LCing but its making me nauseous today. It's one of the side effects.

I don't know what to eat or take that will help with the nausea. I didn't eat all day because I felt so sick. then finally I thought I better eat something so my blood sugar didn't get too low; that was a mistake. I know I'd probably feel much better having crackers or bread but I don't want to go off plan and Maalox isn't working.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have to take this medication for another 14 days. Help!

Sometimes I feel nausea from one of my morning meds (haven't narrowed it down yet since I take several) and the only thing I can get down is chicken, beef or vegetable broth. I couple that with my chai tea infused with coconut oil and it seems to help.

Good luck.

Try some tea with a few tablespoons of heavy cream. The fat should keep you satiated without further upsetting your stomach with solid food to digest. I also eat sugar free jello when I'm feeling a little queasy and it seems to help. Soft and mild foods are always best for nausea. Plain yogurt might be good too. Hope you feel better!

Nothing has been working so far. I just am waiting all day for the nausea to subside and then I eat. So that means I'm not eating until after 2 pm or so. Hoping it gets better.

I might try the yogurt and the chai tea (separately of course.)

Thanks!

Peppermint tea, LC gingerale or a big pinch of baking soda in a glass of water are all good for nausea.

Dairy products and coconut oil cause rather than cure nausea in some people.

Second the gingerale, or take ginger capsules or just chew on a tiny piece of ginger.
