What are the best things to eat to stave off the nausea when eating a meal isn't an option?

[Pinkflipflop]

I don't feel too bad so far unless I get hungry. The only thing that helps with feeling sick is eating a meal and keeping full.

Thing is, I'm going away for 2 weeks and as I'll be staying with someone I can't really demand when meals are prepared. What foods or snacks have you found are the best at keeping the nausea at bay until you get a meal or proper food?

I'm going to it on loads of weight with all this keeping full, aren't I?

Ginger biscuits!

i am nibbling on crackers, bananas, fruit salads. ooh and fizzy pop/water.

You can get oat cakes that are sort of biscuits. They come in a fruit flavour, ginger and apple and something. They're made by Nairns. They seem fit the bill in terms of being a little bit sweet and quite good energy-wise...

Fizzy water, it really helped settle my stomach.

I found nibbling on dry rice cakes, salted pistachios and belvita breakfast biscuits helped.

you'll be fine.

you must eat little and often.

you'd be better not having your normal dinner, but have 2 smaller meals to replace it.

they say you should have 6 smaller meals than 3 big ones, which means that you can keep eating all day without worrying about eating too much.

and if that's not possible, you could always have things like sticks of carrot, pepper, cucumber, celery etc and nibble on them.

Oh yes the nairns oatcake biscuits were good too, I always had a stash of the dark choc ones in my desk drawers at work!

I've had horrendous morning sickness for the past month which has subsided since sat (i think this is a gd thing although i am slightly concerned something maybe wrong) so haven't really been able to eat full meals so I've survived on dry toast and diet coke or lucozade, I normally just drink water and tea but seem to be fancying pop so guess my body needs whatever shit they put in it!

I agree it's worse when hungry tho, my stomach's rumbling seemed to trigger it to be sick so I wouldn't worry about eating to stay full, if it's stopping the sickness and making you feel better. Ideally snack on fruit etc but if you can't stomach it, eat crisps, bread etc and try not to panic about it!

Thanks for these very useful suggestions. Off to tescos soon to get those Nairn biscuits.

Rice crackers, like snackajacks - they were my saviour in the early days and they're only 30kcals each :)

Ready salted Crisps. Not v healthy but worked a treat for me. Mind you, so did those fruit bags/packet selection things you get from all supermarkets (if I was feeling gulty about all the crisps!)

Also, this is disgusting, but fruit is not as awful to throw up!

I had one of these granola bars every morning and sometimes in the afternoon if I began to feel a bit off colour. Worked a treat. They do a ginger variety which was perfect.

Reading these suggestions with great interest as I'm currently 7wks with no 2, and have the same thing as OP with getting queasy if I get hungry.
I just made a big batch of gingerbread which I've found to be really good. Gingery and solid enough that it fills you up more than just crackers, and it travels really well too so you can have some pieces in a box in your handbag all day and it still tastes good!

crisps, crisps, crisps, crisps, and a few more crisps BBQ beef hula hoops are brilliant, as are twiglets. cheese and onion or salt and vinegar crisps also good

mini cheddars with Dairylea and cucumber slices

little chunks of cheddar cheese (those kids lunchbag mini versions are good)

plain croissants or brioche

breadsticks or plain crackers

marmite toast

tinned heinz soup - tomato or chicken or mushroom

those 'tangastic' fizzy haribos but at times they really help

fruit squash or flat lemonade/coke to drink

and if all else fails a few more crisps!

As you can tell it's all about the carbs and the savouries for me (except the fizzy haribos!). Can barely even chop up apple and strawberries for the kids at the moment - the thought of ingesting any myself makes me heave

The good news is that despite this mega carb content (and averaging 3 bags of crisps daily to keep nausea at bay - and that's in addition to normal meals - I know it sounds awful) I seem to have lost weight so far, not gained it

Jacob's crackers with those mini cheeses. Can't believe my colleagues didn't twig when I was scoffing these all day...

another vote for crisps and diet coke. Fantastic diet but seeed to help me more than anything else.

Fizzy water
Lucozade
Ribena
Bananas
Flapjack
Country life granola bars
Oranges
Barley sugar sweets
Digestive biscuits
Grapes

Bananas, fizzy water, Ritz crackers.

Wow I am now seriously crazing some BBQ hula hoops. Would it be wrong to put DD (already in PJs) into the car to go get some...??

Cheese on toast for me. Not melted: just big thick slices of the stuff.

That and Pepsi Max (although I feel incredibly guilty for drinking it so am trying to limit myself to only a few cans a week which I'm absolutely desperate).
