Hi. Ginger helps me combat nausea. I'm just getting over a nasty infection that started out "flu-like" and settled in my sinuses. When it was in its "flu" stages, I had a lot of nausea, and ginger and ginger ale seemed to help me. Actually, I'm not sure that any of the major ginger ale brands have real ginger in them, but for some reason, ginger ale and saltines are the only things my stomach can tolerate when I'm feeling nauseated.
Oh, if you're going to nibbile on some saltines if you're too nauseated to eat, I found that saltines are now made with unsalted tops. They are also available in a low sodium form, which isn't the same as the unsalted tops version. There's too much sodium in the regular saltines.
I'm not sure how to deal with the up and down appetite. I will have to think about that for a bit.
