Mumble Report post Posted December 13, 2008 Not directly ASD but related through sensory issues as I'm finding it difficult to cope with. I have nausea/vomiting as side effects of medication - it's well known that this happens and the hospital found me anti-emetics that work fairly well so it's copeable with but I'd like, at least over the Christmas period, for it not to be an issue at all because I don't want the focus to be on me - does anyone know of anything, probably natural is best, that helps to control sickness at least in the short term? Oh, and before anyone suggests ginger, I can't stand the stuff! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mumble Report post Posted December 14, 2008 Thanks Bid and Sonj I am definitely not pregnant although I've been asked 16 times and counting (something to do with them having to check before exposing me to radiation - thinking of just getting 'NO' tattooed on my forehead and pointing at it :lol:) but I'll give the sea-bands a try Mumble Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peaches Report post Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) Wont suggest ginger then, that was my standby though, particularly ginger beer. I cant think of any other natural product. Extra strong mints help keep nausea pangs at bay in an emergency though. When I was younger I found that normal coca cola helped settle my stomach, but I cant drink it now cos of the caffeine. I have a bit of a phobia about being sick. Sometimes peppermint tea is helpful or camomile and spearmint, but if you are feeling nauseated a lot it probably wont do. I did once have a homeopathic remedy for sickness but I cant for the life of me remember what it was. I was prescribed cyclizene (probably not spelt right) for sickness with some of my pain killers. It helps with nausea as well as vomiting. The seabands sound worth a try though. Edited December 15, 2008 by peaches Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bid Report post Posted December 16, 2008 That's reminded me, with baby #1 I didn't have seabands, but some homeopathic pills...but can't remember the name, it being 20 odd years ago! I would ask in a health food shop about homeopathic remedies. Bid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have an Esophageal hernia for which I take a lot of meds, most of which make me feel nausous and they control it quite well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
