Dealing with Excessive Nausea While Eating

Being cold surprisingly helps with nausea. I like to put a cold pack or a cold pillow on my abdomen. Carbonated water, sprite, or ginger ale also help with nausea, lifesaver while I had the stomach flu as a kid. Mint tea or mint anything helps with nausea as well. If all else fails... Tums. I eat those like candy cause I'm almost always nauseous 😭

I have had pots and Zofran rx both for 10 years..... I've NEVER heard of not being able to use it when you have pots?

Phenergan and meclizine can be good alternatives to zofran for some people (sometimes meclizine can help with other pots symptoms too). I find ginger to be helpful. Often having more frequent smaller meals/snacks can easier. Meal replacements like ensure, boost, or kate farms can be good to have on hand for when you just need to get something in your stomach. Also it might be worth seeing a GI if you don’t already since pots can affect your digestive system. Good luck 💕

Scopolamine patches

Ugh, that is really the worst. Fresh air really helps me when I’m nauseous so I’ll just open the window and stand by it sometimes. For eating, try really bland foods. Toast, plain cereal, fruit and vegetables. Also chew mint gum!
