  Aw I’m so sorry. 😭😭 I am feeling better now and able to eat a bit more, but for a little bit, I felt like basically all I could eat without issue were saltine crackers. Then I started being able to eat plain potatoes (cut like fries and put in the air fryer) too. I tried 4 different brands of ginger candies (Dramamine’s brand of chewy ones, Tum-Tums blackberry flavor, GinGins and one other I don’t remember) and for whatever reason Gin-Gins seemed to do better than the others but that’s just me🤷‍♀️
  
  

  Not sure if this is helpful but I kept getting ads for telehealth nutrition companies to meet with a registered dietician for $0 with commercial insurance. So I contacted a few of the companies, one of them was able to get it sorted with my insurance for $0, and meeting with the dietician was really helpful to talk through this with. For me, I have been having a lot of gas and bloating, she recommended trying low-FODMAP foods. And she assured me it’s ok to be eating crackers when it’s all I can eat, and shared little tips like try eating a little snack every hour instead of three meals, stand up or sit up after eating (don’t lie down bc it can make the nausea/reflux worse), try eating some foods cold so I don’t smell it, try a thin layer of peanut butter on the crackers sometimes, have some easy foods around like jello and popsicles and applesauce to snack on based on if I feel like I can handle them. You may have tried all those already but personally my brain was so overwhelmed about the baby, I didn’t even things of things like this haha.

  Thank you!! Lots of good advice. I think doing a low fodmap will be key for me. I’ll try it out 🤞
