In reply to HELP PLEASE......NAUSEA, posted by KrissyP on March 3, 2003, at 23:10:46
Krissy, when I've been nauseous no matter what causes it, I found that ginger helped every time. Sometimes the nausea was so bad (discontinuing SSRIs) that I ate ginger straight. Ginger tea wasn't nearly strong enough.
It burns your mouth if you just take a bite out (like I did the first time). What I did was take a few small thin slices & dice them into very small pieces. Then I'd toss the pieces into my mouth & wash them down with a drink, followed by a small bite of apple to make sure no pieces got stuck in my throat. The chewed apple piece pushed any stuck pieces down.
I found with nausea I had trouble sawllowing pills or tiny pieces of ginger. I used to gag lots otherwise. I did the ginger twice a day as long as I needed it. It was the ONLY thing that worked.
