So, I've seen a lot of morning sickness mamas on here claiming that sour patch kids work wonders against the nausea. Since I felt pretty bad when I was getting ready to leave the house today, I took them with me. If anything, they made me feel worse! Guess they're not my antidote.
My doctor told me yesterday that the science behind these type of antidotes is that they help give your blood sugar a little boost, which is often what causes you to feel sick (low blood glucose). So while Sour Patch Kids work for some but not you, try something that you normally love that has sugar in it...I tried Jolly Ranchers and they seem to work for me!!
What about Jolly Ranchers? I have a co-worker who swore that sucking on Jolly Ranchers helped to ease her nausea. I can't say that they've been a miracle cure for me, but I do think that sucking on hard candy - ANY hard candy - does help slightly.
Edit: oops! I did not see that the poster above me also mentioned Jolly Ranchers! I say, give them a try!
Try chewing gum...it only lasts until the flavor is gone, but that's been helping for me. Also, lots of snacks. I ate salt and vinegar chips with cantaloupe on the side for a week! lol...Hope we all get to feeling better soon.

Re: Sour patch kids, what the heck
Ugh, I'm almost afraid to try anything else with a similar flavor.
