A carbonated beverage always seems to help my nausea. Once I burp a couple of times it seems to get better.

I hope someone comes up with something better.

Hugs,
Deb

Ice Water with Lemon

My mother used to get intense nausea and that was the only thing that helped

One of the best and oldest home remedies for nausea is ginger. Eating a small piece of fresh or pickled ginger usually helps the nausea to subside. Additionally, ginger tea can be made by boiling fresh ginger in water and adding honey or milk as desired.

Carbonated beverages and saltine crackers are often effective for settling the stomach.

Mint is a soothing herb which can help calm and settle the stomach. Peppermint or spearmint tea can be very effective in soothing nausea. Peppermint oil can also be used as an aromatherapeutic cure.

Another old home remedy for nausea is lemon. In some cases, merely smelling a freshly cut lemon can be helpful. Lemon juice mixed into warm water and sipped slowly works as well. Other warm liquids, such as broth, warm milk or tea, can also help to calm the stomach.

I should have thought of the lemon. My cuz had very bad morning sickness for 5 months and she was constantly sucking on lemons. It really helped her.

Oh that's so funny! My little "adopted" sis is pregnant and was telling me yesterday that a woman in her pregnancy class was swearing by lemons for morning sickness and had asked if I'd ever tried it. I never really had morning sickness adn neither has she so we were kinda curious about it.

The only thing that helps my nausea is to nibble on saltine crackers.

Room temp 7up or Sprite works better than cold.

Flat gingerale and plain crackers. (We get unsalted.)

Gravol is also helpful when the nausea is overwhelming.

Dramamine. It's just a pill, easy to take, if you're not so nauseous that you can't keep anything down.

Empty stomach is very bad for nausea. Dry toast or saltine crackers is usually well tolerated. Sips gingerale or ginger tea along with the dry toast.

Zofran is very expensive, but sometimes necessary to keep away the vomiting.

Texannie, if the seabands work, you can always try the 'wristwatch' type thingie that gives a small electric pulse. I would find it annoying to use constantly, but it works for me when I fly or deep sea fish; when dramamine doesn't. The non-drowsy dram works really well for me, with all kinds of nausea, as does almost antihistamine in a pinch.

the wristwatch? i have never heard of that. i was wanting to try dramamine before the Zofran but the docs were afraid even the non-drowsy might make him sleepy.

Annie, they are called acustimulation wristbands. The one I have is called ReliefBand. It works in the same spot as the pressure bands, with mild electric stimulation. It can be kind of distracting until you are used to it.

They've been studied on cancer patients to relief the nausea from chemotherapy and also pregnant women.

Personally, I'd try the dramamine first. The nondrowsy does not make my kiddo sleepy when we fly, and he gets motion sick something awful if he doesn't take it.

i thought about those too, but didn't see them at the store..do you need an RX?

this stems from his gastro issues. he's been battling this for quite some time. he got ecoli several years ago and it compromised his immune system and his ability to metabolise certain things.

My dad used coke for his nausea. You warm it up to take the carbonation out of it. Then if you want put ice in it to cool it down again. Plain popcorn also helped

They are called scopolamine (sp?) patches, and require a prescription. The nice thing is they last for a coupla days.
