I've been feeling nauseous for a little more than a week now. Last night I went to the E.R and spent the night there to get drop and do some blood tests. I was released from there a few hours ago, and now I'm really hungry but I don't know what to eat. I've eaten a small cup of yogurt, it helped a little bit but the nausea is back again.

We have salty biscuits and regular biscuits at home, does biscuits ease the nausea?

Biscuits? Try it.
I'd use ginger -in curry, or in tea, or candied ginger. Even ginger ale. Not sure which of these are available in your country.

Do you have any Ginger? I used to eat candied Ginger or a small slice of fresh Ginger. It works so well for nausea. Yoghurt is a good idea because of the live bacteria, if you can have a piece of toast sometimes helps. biscuits might help as well.

Hi Angel.
Ginger normally eases nausea, so things like ginger biscuits, or crystallised ginger would be good.
Yes, salty biscuits will help, as its absorbs stomach acids. Also, mint tea is a very good remedy

Have you actually been sick? If so, you will need potassium rich foods such as bananas and sports drinks.

I have tea with Ginger/Lemon (black tea) tea, chamomile tea, Raspberry tea and regular Lemon tea at home. I drank one cup of Ginger/Lemon tea this morning, it helped a little bit but the nausea was back again after 1 or 2 hours. This is a stubborn one...

Do you have any powdered ginger or fresh ginger? I reckon even ginger snap cookies would be good. I believe you have those in your country. There is probably not much ginger in the flavoured tea. Do yourself a favour and get the real thing. Powdered ginger in warm water tastes like medicine, but a 1/2 tsp of ginger will set you right for a while most likely.

I see. Okay, not to get on your case, but do you have a neighbour you can borrow from? Well, we used to do that when I was young. A safe neighbour, btw.

When I have nausea I try eating toast with a scraping of butter and a scraping of promite/vegemite (Kinda salty). I dont know what the substitute could be where you are. There is also marmite. Ideas any-one?

What is causing the nausea? Didn't they tell you at the hospital what to/not to eat? (nothing with grease). Potentially helpful article: 4 Ways to Fight Nausea - wikiHow

I eat what is called "sushi ginger". I actually like it.

Marijuana is the typical treatment for SEVERE nausea, and a non-psychodelic medication called Marinol, which is derived from marijuana, is also being used (it is very expensive). I do not know the legal medicinal marijuana situation in Sweden, but trying marijuana edibles to see if they help could be a good idea, if legally available.

Also, but this is probably just idiosyncratic, I ate apple sauce by the jar when suffering from morning sickness (nausea in the first trimester of pregnancy). I also ate rice pudding with a touch of cinnamon. Both helped.

Finally, eating tiny snacks frequently (whatever it is that you eat) would help.
