Fr...Ok, since you've asked....<BR/><BR/>Carbs are my savior. Fresh bakery white bread, sometimes toasted with a little Smart Balance. Plain buttered noodles. Low sodium saltines. Cereal. Also, eating frequently. Like, every 2-3 hours, even in the middle of the might. Yes, it's a pain in the ass. Milk is also great for me. <BR/><BR/>Chewing gum, especially in the car, helps to keep the nausea somewhat at bay. I'm wearing seabands, but I don't really know if they are helping.<BR/><BR/>Meat is iffy (I know you don't eat it. Keep trying to find protiens that work for you). Eggs are a HUGE no for me. Veggies, especially raw, have no appeal. Fruit is a maybe.<BR/><BR/>One thing that helped me a lot was stopping my pre-natal. I noticed that I felt pretty awful after taking it so I stopped. I'm now taking a regular chewable adult vitamin and extra folic acid.<BR/><BR/>Ginger does help my nausea, but it makes my underlying problem worse. I seem to have far far too much stomach acid. Pair that with a lazy esophageal reflex (something common in pregnancy) and I've been having horrid reflux and heartburn. Per the advice of an online forum, and confirmed by my OB, I am now taking the perscription strength dose of Zantac (150mg) 2 times a day. It has been a life saver.<BR/><BR/>Another piece of advice from my OB was to take an additional 25-100mg of B6 daily. And, to offer even more nausea relief you can take a Unison tablet at night (the tablets only). I'm doing the B6, but haven't noticed any difference. I haven't tried the Unisom yet.<BR/><BR/>I certainly hope something gives you a respite. It's truly truly afwul.nutellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13661028395569948111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020255455496318059.post-14780128044172606862008-09-30T06:13:00.000-07:002008-09-30T06:13:00.000-07:00Hey, thanks. I would love any advice you have. Y...Hey, thanks. I would love any advice you have. Yesterday K went to Whole Foods and stocked up on ginger things - candy, ale, beer, crystalized. Hopefully this will help.JKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793255794713250546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5020255455496318059.post-44855517858395091192008-09-30T06:03:00.000-07:002008-09-30T06:03:00.000-07:00Sigh. I totally hear you. It's miserable. There...Sigh. I totally hear you. It's miserable. There are a million and 1 different pieces of advice out there, but the fact is, every woman is different. All you can do is try things out and see what works for you. I don't want to bombard you with assvice you didn't ask for, but if you ever do want some, I will be happy to offer what little I have found helps me.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there, lean on your wife, and remember that you are stronger than the ick. They keep telling me it gets better and I have to cling to that.nutellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13661028395569948111noreply@blogger.com
