@britt If you like ginger, chews and tea are delicious and great alternatives to tablets or capsules. Dramamine also has a “natural” version now that’s made with ginger, if you want a tiny tube to keep on hand. Hope you’re feeling better. <3
@britt I see lots of people already suggested ginger and cannabis, my two favorite herbal strategies for stomach upset; just adding that I find ginger tea is an especially helpful form for me - either commercially available herb teas, or simply soaking slices of fresh gingerroot in jusf-boiled water till it's good and infused, and sipping slowly to gently get it into the tummy.
@britt There are other prescription medications (not sure about what’s available there, but I’ve tried about 4-5 different medications). I also use ginger chews and tea, inhalers of essential oil blends designed for chemotherapy nausea, and the acupressure point inside the wrist. SeaBands can be helpful.
@ImmedicableME Thank you for helping! I’d be really interested to hear what’s worked best for you. I find essential oils to be helpful for some things, especially peppermint on the abdomen for GI upset.
I lost my SeaBand and hope to snag a new one tomorrow. 🤗
@britt I am so sorry. Limit odors, cool rag, ginger chews, quiet spaces, move slowly, dim lights, small sips and small bites. Maybe one of those acupuncture wrist things or a scopolamine patch?
@britt Ginger root capsules tend to work well for nausea. This is the brand I use, and I find if I take 2 of them (or 3, if it's really bad), it makes a difference.
