"I have not eaten anything all day"... I wonder why you feel so nauseated... Try eating crackers or soup.
Nausea can also be caused by stress, headaches, spoiled foods, stomach viruses, unpleasant odors, eating or drinking too much or too little, alcohol, street drugs and morning sickness in pregnant women.
Consider the following tips to help manage nausea. These suggestions have worked for others.
Leave dry crackers by your bed. Before getting out of bed in the morning, eat a few and sit in bed for a few minutes.
Sip cool, not cold, carbonated drinks, like ginger ale, 7-Up, Sprite or cola.
Try some peppermint, chamomile or ginger tea -- they may calm the stomach.
Avoid hot, spicy, strong-smelling and greasy foods that might upset your stomach.
Eat foods at room temperature or cooler; hot foods may add to nausea.
Try using capsules of ginger root powder, available at health food stores. Ginger may reduce symptoms associated with motion sickness, like dizziness, nausea and vomiting.
Fresh ginger, lightly cooked or juiced with fruits or vegetables like carrots or apples, is great to add to the diet, and may be as effective as dried ginger.
Try the BRAT Diet (Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast).
Prevent dehydration during bouts of nausea by drinking small amounts of clear and cool beverages every fifteen minutes or so. Then gradually work your way back up to normal eating by taking small sips of water every several minutes. Increase the intake until you can tolerate a small meal.
If you vomit, replace fluids with broth, carbonated beverages, juice, Jell-O or Popsicles.
sleep it off, or take a gravol if you have it.
Well, when I feel like throwing up, I drink some coffee, breathe into a paper bag, or chew some ice.
When the entire household is ill, it is troubling.
You may all have food poisoning.
What did you eat?
Call a doctor or get to the ER ASAP!
Try warm (room temperature) Coke - brand name. This is an old folk remedy from when I was a little girl, that works.
Nibble some saltine crackers can help; if you eat it should be light and not too fatty. Try BRAT - Bananas, Rice, AppleSauce, Toast, stay away from dairy.
Maybe you guys have food poisoning - if they get worse, you might need to see a doctor.
Also, lying still and looking at one spot helps too.
It might be food poisoning considering everyone in your house feels sick, so I would think about what was the last thing you've all ate. Also try gatorade, or salteen crackers.
