The Latin section of the grocery store has candied ginger which I find easier to eat when I have nausea from migraine. My Mom used it for her chemo nausea too. Doesn't fix but does help

I get nausea super often and ginger is sometimes one of the only things I have on hand that’ll do anything at all. I’m forever glad to have been told it would help

Yup! When my crohn's goes active, I start harvesting my ginger like crazy, shredding it, and make tea infusions. soothing.

My sister absolutely adores ginger. She has a lot of GI problems, and she swears by the stuff. I don’t think I have ever met a person before her that consumes so much ginger and peppermint. If it helps though, I’m glad she found it.

Amazon sells "crystalized ginger" so do grocery stores with a health food section and regular health food stores. The sugar causes the ginger to get soft and chewy. Too sweet for me but thought I'd mention it.

It works particularly well with serotonergic nausea because it mediates nausea by blocking the 5HT3 receptor.

Plus ginger tastes good - I drink ginger tea because I don't want the sugar in ginger ale

My boyfriend eats ginger candy whenever he gets a stomachache. It works really well. Mythbusters also found it works best for nausea.

Most ginger ale soda is just ginger flavored and contain a lot of sugar.

But ginger has a nauseating taste 😂 I can't win. I feel sick all the time & meds don't help.

I’ve heard that most ginger ale doesn’t have any actual ginger in it and the only benefit you get from it is the carbonation

Sadly, ginger did absolutely nothing for my severe nausea!! 😢 I tried it in many forms!

For nausea, peppermint helps me. Ginger, not so much.

[CA-dmfu]

😢 ginger makes me super nautious, is there anything else?

[LightsHikesAndWanderlove]

Maybe I should eat some ginger before doing a disgusting chore that usually makes me gag? 🤔

[athenatanyimin]

Not for me unfortunately. I can't stand ginger so eating it actually makes my nausea worse 😢

[katim]

Didn't 7Up originally contain lithium?
