Ginger Beer - For nausea

SpiritYell0905 · April 2016

I have not had horrible morning sickness. I wouldn't call it morning sickness at all actually but I have had a few bouts of nausea that don't really last all that long and seemingly disappear if I just lie down for a minute. However, my husband brought home Ginger Beer (not alcoholic, think Root Beer) and it really calmed my stomach. I only started hearing about this stuff late last year and it then it started popping up in our grocery stores. I'm not a huge ginger ale fan so it was nice to have an option.

What does it taste like? More like root beer than ginger ale? I'm getting sick of ginger ale and need a nice change.

ETA: Just released I typed "root beet" instead of "root beer", sheesh.

I've always wondered what it tastes like too...I hate beer so if it's anything like that, I'm out...but if it's like root beer, I'm all for it!

It tastes more like ginger than ginger ale if that makes sense. It really is a lot like root beer just ginger instead. It's stronger than ginger ale. But no @comealongponds, it does not taste like beer at all. It's a soda.

Hm...well perhaps I'll pick some up today. Ginger ale is getting a bit sickeningly sweet for me lately.

SpiritYell0905 · April 2016

Let me know what you think. The brand that DH bought wasn't sweet at all but I imagine it varies by brand a bit.

I've tried it and it was almost too strong for me if that makes sense. Like it made me more nauseous.

I love ginger beer! Actually I love moscow mules but won't be having one of those for a while now hopefully

There are several different brands out there because of the increased popularity so if you have one you don't like, try another. Some have a stronger ginger "heat" than others.

I was going to say, have none of you who hadn't heard of ginger beer never had a Moscow Mule or Dark 'N Stormy? Delicious!!!!

only reason I have been buying ginger ale instead of ginger beer is price and the rate at which I've been going through them.

I was going to say I love ginger beer but really I love moscow mules, somehow I thought there was alcohol in ginger beer (shows how much I know) but I'm glad to hear I can drink it now! I have a juicer so I've also been doing fresh ginger with orange and apple and it's delicious and helps calm my stomach.

Yes this...I've been thinking about trying ginger beer because ginger ale sooo sugary but helpful. I've done ginger tea too but I don't really like the taste without putting honey in it.

Mmmmmmm ginger beer is SO good, pregnant or not. Very refreshing on a summer day.

I'm a huge fan of ginger beer. It tastes almost spicy! its amazing. Never thought to use it for nausea. Good idea!

MrsDepo · April 2016

DH is getting some non alcoholic ginger beer for me so we can have Moscow mules together. Obviously no vodka for me!

lr407603 · April 2016

@lmmc2 There are alcoholic and non-alcoholic brands.

AdmiralKitty · April 2016

This has been my go-to for a while for any stomach related malady... love ginger beer!! (and moscow mules too

)

NordyMN89 · April 2016

Why hadn't I thought of ginger beer? I love a Moscow mule (actually we call them Minnesota Mules and make them with whiskey, but I digress)...Agree with PPs that ginger ale is too sweet. Maybe I'll do like half and half, that way I won't go through them so quickly. Something new to try tonight!

If you have a Trader Joes near by you can usually find it there

Ginger beer with lime is my go to beverage at bars too. Nobody questions whether I'm having a cocktail or not

lajoliedreamer · April 2016

I've been drinking ginger beer for my nausea. Ginger ale has always been too sweet for me and ginger chews are too strong. My favorite is Trader Joe's ginger beer - not too strong, but still has some ginger on the bottom so you know you're getting the real thing!

LOVE ginger beer. It's not as sweet as ginger ale, it has a little bit of a spice to it and it's so much bubblier.

****lurker****
ginger beer is fantastic for MS, but my OB advised me in first trimester not to have more than one a day because some brand have a very strong concentration of ginger and it might be link to miscarriage.

Finally tried ginger beer today...yum! Good by itself and even better with a couple lime slices.
