I know they exist but I don't know which one will work better with SN. I've been told that Raw ginger works as nausea and vomiting blocker but I would love to know if it will work. (sorry for my mediocre english).

I think it is highly doubtful that ginger would do anything. I have heard it can help nausea but in my experience it doesn't even help much with that.

Gravol is not a good enough antiemetic for SN.

No, you need dopamine blocking antiemetic drugs like metoclopramide, domperidone or prochlorperazine. In many countries you can buy a small quantity of these drugs OTC for migraine associated nausea.

Your English is perfect! Don't worry about it.

If you can't get metoclopramide for SN then I'd probably recommend going with one of the pharmaceutical alternatives that you can get OTC, I'd expect they're probably more effective than ginger

Go with ginger, it's the only one having dopamine blocking effect that's needed for SN. It's better to get it as a supplement than just eating raw ginger, this way you know exactly how much you get.

The recommendation is 1g daily (0.5-1g was studied). It's better to start a week before your date or even two weeks, it won't hurt, ginger in general is very good for your health (muscle pain, anti-inflammatory properties, indigestion, effective against the RSV virus, etc.).

I'd suggest maxing this to 2g (studied, safe) or even 3g (didn't look for studies) a day if you feel no side effects, because you'll be ingesting a poison (SN).

It also accelerates emptying of the stomach by 50%, so you almost get a meto substitute with ginger, and that's all OTC.

Gravol (Dimenhydrinate) treats motion sickness, it won't help with SN at all, this has been already mentioned on this forum.

1gram of ginger is safe dose for pregnancy and children above 2yo. Healthy adult can take up to 4 grams daily. Do not exceed 6 grams each day because it causes gastrointestinal issues such as reflux, heartburn and diarrhea.
