Grapefruit juice for nausea??

amberina521

Just wondering if anyone else has found that grapefruit (or other citrus) helps with nausea?

Cold ruby-red grapefruit juice has been my BFF the last few days, and I just find that very odd/counterintuitive, since citrus is acidic...figured it would make an upset stomach worse, not better. Hm.

Actually acidic fruit was one of the things that caused my nausea last time. Grapefruit juice would have made me throw up. I'm glad it's working for you though. Maybe it's the sour? I find sour things helpful.

I've heard of this helping some people. When I first "met" AF I was 11 and I had nausea so bad that my mom actually thought it was m/s. LOL. Then, orange juice was my BFF (a half gallon a day) with AF, but with my m/s, it only made things worse. It all depends on how acidic your stomach is. Sometimes pregnancy hormones cause your stomach acid production to go down, and sometimes up (one reason for the heartburn, gas, etc.).
