I am 7 weeks into my 3rd pregnancy and got on here to look up remedies for my nausea. When I saw applesauce it reminded me that I used to eat a tablespoon of it everyday when I felt nauseous with my last baby! So, thanks for the reminder, now I have to go get some LOL.

Alcohol Swabs

This really works! I recently had surgery and was prescribed painkillers to help ease the discomfort. I've been able to get by without taking them for a week now, but last night my pain was unbearable so I decided to take half of the pill. Well, about an hour after I took it, I became incredibly nauseous. I ended up vomiting a couple times which I thought would help make me feel better because it usually does, but I still felt nauseous. So when I could finally get myself to the computer, I went to this website for a remedy. When I saw alcohol packets help, I grabbed one from my medicine cabinet, opened it up and began sniffing it. You would think that sniffing alcohol would make the nausea worse, which is to say that it didn't exactly feel good to inhale that first sniff, but after a minute or two, my queasiness subsided. I couldn't believe it. This will definitely be my go to nausea remedy from now on!

Have you been checked for Lactose Intolerance? No one could figure out my nausea/diarrhea after eating. Years ago I diagnosed myself by reading about someone just like me in a popular little health magazine. Turns out allergic to dairy products, ..which I learned I can still eat as long as I take Lactaid Pills. Spent years trying to figure out what the problem was. Lots of stomach pains! Solved it all by reading that article and a ten dollar bottle of pills! I feel for anyone who does not know about this and is going through what I went through. I love this site. It has helped me so much.

Hi Ken. My wife had her gallbladder removed about 4 years ago. She sometimes suffers, what is similar to gallbladder attacks. It has been said somewhere, that people still get stones in their BILE DUCTS after the gallbladder has been removed.

What we do for her is a shot glass or 2 tablespoons of raw applecider vinegar/ unfiltered in a glass ( 8oz ) of room temperature apple juice. She will down this and the pain and nausea is gone pretty fast. She just does this when ever she has pain or bad nausea.

You may also want to consider charcoal tablets as they are suppose to help with all kinds of stomach issues...Gas, bloating and nausea.

And I know this is not a natural remedy and I do still have my gallbladder, but when I have severe nausea...I take motion sickness pills and it goes away quickly.

Hope this helps.

As a nurse, I highly recommend it to all

Baking Soda

Being nauseated doesn't mean you have indigestion. Check your liver and kidney blood markers, urine as well. Meantime take milk thistle and dandelion supplements/teas. Better get your lab work done before starting the supplements. Just pay online and go to the nearest lab. These tests could be done without doctor's script. You can try baking soda on empty stomach, dissolve thorough, but it is for indigestion. Your story suggests you have side effect from the antibiotic.

I personally take NAC, Premier by Premier Research Labs when I feel my liver needs some help. Milk thistle is one of the ingredients. Go easy on this supplement. Only take as recommended.
Lastly, if you are otherwise healthy, no heart issues, BP issues, get a detox IV which is available pretty much everywhere, they would even come to your home. They are very experienced in determining what will work better for you. Make sure you tell them about your health problems. Make sure they run an Ethical Practice, meaning they would not force on you unnecessary treatments and would refer you to someone who could help if they believe they are not. IV would work faster. But again, if you get a feeling they just want to "sell” you their IV's, don't hesitate to refuse. Chronically ill people should be careful as too much good stuff at once could have an opposite effect. When I wanted to get IV treatments at home, I spoke with them first, explaining the state of my health. They agreed that they should start very slow with me, meaning weaker solutions and a longer drip time (longer than a standard 30min or an hour).

P.S. Do not take Ondansetron for nausea, even if it is prescribed by a doctor. They should do EKG and ask you about arrhythmia. It could be fatal for people with arrhythmia. Most doctors don't know that.

Every time I feel nauseous, my mom makes me a “tea” of ginger, lemon, and honey. She slices ginger into a mug, adds honey and lemon, then steeps it. It helps me immediately, literally by the first sip. By the time I'm finished with the mug, I don't notice the nausea anymore! I've tried this remedy time and time again. It's my go-to.

Yes, rubbing alcohol for nausea works.

Bitters

About two years ago I started having indigestion issues.. Eventually this year it progressed to bloating and nausea. I found L'Angostura Bitters was sometimes recommended and started using that -- it works about 75% of the time. When I looked it up I saw that Gentian is the main component for indigestion and that some report miraculous cures. The efficacy has to do with increasing bile secretion.

Ginger is one of the best remedies for nausea. You can get fresh ginger root at the health food store and make your own ginger tea. Just carefully cut off or peel the skin off it first. Cut off a few small pieces and soak them in a cup of hot water for 10 minutes or so. Then when it's cooled off enough, you can drink it like tea.

Ginger tea is also sold in tea-bag form, too.

This website has helped me on a lot of issues. I decided to give ACV a try. I could have written the post about belching and nausea from breakfast, to dinner, and to bed. This time papaya tablets would not work. Neither did rubbing alcohol, but the vinegar, YES. I am back to being a happy camper.

Iodine

I was feeling very nauseous one morning before I ate breakfast and vomiting was imminent. Tried the alcohol swabs on EC and it didn't work. So I tired 12 drops of Lugol's iodine in about and ounce of water. Within about 15 minutes, the nausea went away.

Wow, can't believe how fast this works! My daughter was complaining of nausea tonight and I read about this on EC. We didn't have any alcohol swabs, so I just poured some rubbing alcohol into a small cup and let her sniff it. She said she felt better almost immediately! Thank you!

I was fascinated to come across this post as I just had surgery last week, and became very nauseated afterwards. My sweet nurse put an ice pack on my neck and gave me the alcohol swap packet to sniff because she said it helps lots of people. I couldn't believe how well it squelched the waves of nausea!

Chewing Gum

I would feel nausesated about an hour after taking my medication, even taking it with food. I tried chewing (sugar free), wintergreen gum for at least an hour and a half after taking my medication and I have not experienced any nausea since. A friend going through chemotherapy was also experiencing nausea and it is much less severe when chewing the gum too.
