Weird m/s relief foods?

historychick79 · April 2009

Since last week, I'm getting all day nausea, with a morning toilet bonding session. For some reason, saltines don't work for me; I think the only thing they've been good for is to just have something in my stomach when it's time to throw up. And Jolly Ranchers worked for a few days, until I threw up right after having one and I now can't stand the taste. So far, the best things for me are a really cold cola-based drink (root beer, decaf coke, not sprite), or potato items (potato chips, french fries, baked potato). I feel like I'm on the trashiest diet ever this week! Anyone else going through this?

I am finally coming out of that... I liked decaf coke and stoned wheat thins or pretzel rods (I sucked the salt off of them) the most. French fries definitely were on my list of things that did not bother me, too. Mott's 100 percent granny smith apple sauce was good, too. I'd try chewing gum-- bazooka bubble gum helped me until I got sick of it.

The last couple days m/s has been really bad, and grapefruits have made me feel a lot better. I've heard old wives tales about not eating them during pregnancy, but whatever I can keep down, I'll eat.

Oh yeah, and jelly beans

I'm exactly where you are.... nausea ALL DAY LONG. Dry heaving, etc. Ugh.... gross.

So far I have found nothing. and what works some days will cause increased dry heaves the next day.

i know there's an end in sight..... but serious, it can't come any sooner.

I was on a junk food kick for about a week. Mostly hot and very salty fries. But now it's fruits that seem to be relieving me of some of the symptoms. Also, mint chewing gum has been a huge help. It preoccupies my nose so other smells are not as bothersome.

pretzels, goldfish and ginger ale are my best friends right now.

I talked to my doctor yesterday about my m/s, and he reccomended:

ginger tea, ginger snaps, ginger pretty much anything (etc.)

saltine crackers

weak decaf. tea

B6

Gatorade and Sprite (half and half)

ice pops (popsicles)

I had a baked potato for lunch yesterday and it totally soothed my stomach! Ritz crackers have been my lifesaver.?

McD's sweet tea helps mine.

I felt extremely nauseated this afternoon and a co-worker suggested I sip a regular Coke b/c the coke syrup settles your stomach. I have to say that I am feeling a lot better now. I also think the little bit of caffeine took my headache away too. I hope that this was a remedy I can use every so often...

Applesauce and bagels were my comfort food before zofran.

LizzieTim · April 2009

i had all day nausea from 6.5wks until 9.5wks - it just eased off a few days ago...

i lived on bagels and also ate Lipton Noodle Soup packets almost daily - the kind with just noodles and chicken broth. I found the broth and simple carbs really soothing - would recommend it.

i am just starting to try and get back on a normal diet that doesn't consist of 100% carbs and junk...

just eat whatever you can until you feel better hopefully soon!

regular lays potato chips

baked potato with sour cream

mac and cheese

(I have been living off this stuff for the past 2 weeks because it's all I can keep down without feeling sick after.)

All I know is that I've only had a couple days of "feeling good" since this baby graced me with it's presence.

Both days were prefaced by a night of really good sleep. And today's bout of normalcy was prefaced by a hot dog and malt cup at a baseball game last night.

Coke Icee's!!! They are the best, no other flavor though, if they are out of Coke, don't even try it. Burger King has them, some gas stations, the movie theater, I think they're even better than just plain Coke

This is going to sound weird but...pickles. The Kosher dill kind. It sounds like a stereotypical pregnancy craving, but then I read online that there's an old wives' tale that pickle juice settles the stomach.

jolly ranchers only worked for me for a few days too.
Right now toast is my very best friend. Better than saltine crackers.
Flat coke worked briefly as well.

I am currently friends with eggo waffles.

Cool Ranch Doritos and Mt Dew. Now any type of tortilla chip works.

whitneyandbrook · April 2009

It definitely changes from week to week for me. Week 7, I had to have a Gala apple first thing in the morning. Other things that have worked off and on include: mac & cheese (with ketchup), cantaloupe, watermelon, pineapple, bagels toasted with butter, bread & butter sandwiches, mint choc. chip ice cream, and hot decaf tea with lots of milk and sugar.

Me too! I've been eating one first thing in the morning!

When I was in your situation I was eating a lot of toast and chocolate milk. Weird, but it helped!
