Nauseous? Try Peppermint!



Recommended Posts

I see lots of posts on here about nausea. I read somewhere that peppermint helps. I have found that my Multi-Vitamin, no matter when I take it, makes me nauseous. Most recently I discovered that sucking on a sugar free peppermint makes it go away immediately. This has also worked for me when a food has not agreed with me. I just thought I would share in case anyone else is having the same issues. I wish I would have tried this months ago! :)

I've found relief with ginger chews, but they're essentially ginger/sugar clumps. I'm just getting used to the idea of sugar-free, thanks for the peppermint tip!

I experience nausea every other day. This is good to know. peppermint! Wow! I will get some later today to help with that. I usually just don't eat anything else because I feel so sick.

My wife is pregnant and when she had bad morning sickness she went to an acupuncturist who is into all this holistic stuff. She gave her a small vial of a strong peppermint liquid to just take a sniff of to alleviate the nausea. After my surgery I tried it and it works! I keep it on my desk at work now for whenever I get queasy.

I just took my antidepressant which makes me very nauseous. I chewed on a piece of sugar free peppermint gum and it subsided. Thank you for the advice.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
