Some of the most important antiemetic tips I've collected over the last year:
Bland, dry, and crunchy foods, low-fat foods, protein-rich foods, and cold foods to relieve nausea. BRAT (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) is a physician-recommended bland diet to manage nausea and vomiting. Ginger can reduce nausea by stimulating the contraction of the stomach muscles and accelerating gastric emptying and intestinal transit of food. Studies have shown ginger extracts reduce the frequency of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in breast cancer patients. If you are experiencing nausea, eating starchy foods such as bread, rice, plain noodles, and potatoes can help absorb stomach acids. Avoid acidic fruits such as citrus fruits. Fiber slows gastric emptying.
Demonstrated that dried ginger powder products contained the highest quantity of gingerol-related compounds (7–14 mg/g), followed by fresh ginger (2–2.8 mg/g). Studies recommend a safe daily dose of 1000 mg. 500 mg three times daily for three to five days, and motion sickness 1000 mg for one hour before start of travel. The US Food and Drug Administration generally recognized as safe list states that up to 4 g of ginger can be consumed daily. The effects of ginger were not significantly different from those obtained to metoclopramide.
Avoiding lying down during and after meals, stay upright or gentle exercise for a minimum of 2 hours after eating.
Moreover, we know that bitter taste slows gastric emptying, a correlate of nausea. Bitter taste is strongly sensed by the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves.
Avoid excessive physical activity while fasting, because it can increase the risk of getting stomach acid. Avoid acidic foods like citrus fruits, tomato sauce, soda.
On the morning of medical aid in dying, clear liquids, tea, or coffee (with no dairy added) are fine, but not solid foods and especially no fat at all (delays gastric emptying). Large volumes of liquid that may fill the stomach should be strictly avoided. Frequent small sips are allowed. Dehydration causes the stomach to produce more acid, which slows down digestion.
An antiemetic, metoclopramide, was taken by 39 out of the 60 cases during the 24 hours preceding the planned time for self-deliverance, every 6-8 hours a 10 mg tablet. None of them vomited. Vomiting was reported in 2 of the 21 cases without metoclopramide, but in spite of this the patient died. (Netherlands Exit data). The cannabinoid agonists, corticosteroids and benzodiazepines also have antiemetic actions.
When you're dehydrated, it can take about three times as long (45 minutes) for fluids to make their way from the stomach into the bloodstream and to the rest of the body. That's because dehydration causes the stomach to produce more acid, which slows down digestion.
