Struggling with Nausea During Chemotherapy

Some suggestions to help with nausea include taking small whiffs of rubbing alcohol, sucking on ginger candies, or taking ondansetron daily along with a digestive enzyme, zinc, and an extra strength probiotic. Drinking lots of water can also help. Eating smaller, more frequent meals with light bland foods like bread, crackers, rice, bananas, apples, and potatoes can be beneficial. Avoid fried, greasy, spicy, or sweet foods. Regular sips of cold water or ginger ale can also help, but avoid carbonated drinks. Distraction techniques such as watching a movie, going on the internet, or listening to music can also be useful.
