Nausea

[frenchiemama]

What to do? I'm on a medication that makes me nauseous. It's not severe where I'm throwing up or anything, but it's unpleasant and I'm having trouble eating because of it. Any home remedies?

You could try Peppermint or Spearmint Tea, gum or mints to sooth your stomach. If the naseau gets really bad then I turn to Pepto Bismol for relief.....

Best of Luck!

You are probably already doing this...but are you taking the meds with food?

I rely on ginger tea when I'm nauseous. I even fix a diluted cup for my dd when her tummy hurts. I usually sweeten with stevia, honey or a tiny bit of organic sugar. My favoriate ginger tea is Alvita Ginger Root. The Alvita ginger tea is pure ginger and has worked best for me. The tea does give me a warming sensation but works pretty quickly. I usually drink a couple cups a day on a rough day. I also like Long Life Tea / Organic Ginger Blend but it has other herbs and I've found that Alvita is most effective for nausea itself. I haven't checked in awhile to make sure they're gluten-free so you might want to do that.....

Hope you feel better soon......nausea stinks!!!

Well, the instructions say to take it on an empty stomach so that's what I've been doing. I can ask the pharmacist if taking with food is ok.

I'll try the teas, thanks!
