[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 683628, member: 1233"] I am better but not totally over this. I can eat but my stomach is still really grumpy about food. I am eating small amounts because if I eat a regular portion it sits like lead and I fight throwing up for an hour or two. So maybe that stomach tea would help. Catnip tea is helpful so maybe the tea you suggested would also help. I keep a kettle and small coffee maker in our bathroom sink area (separate from toilet and shower in our oddly arranged apartment) to make more room in our teeny kitchen. It makes fixing tea much easier for me on bad days. I haven't been helped by zofran much but thank you and Jess say it works for them so I usually have a few on hand in case they get sick. Phenergan helps me normally and I also have it on hand but even that didn't work this time. The hospital used reglan and then compazine and gave me an rx for some compazine and thankfully it worked. I generally have these medications because I get so many migraines and the migraine medications also upset my stomach. I cannot take the anti-migraine medications unless I take the anti barf medications too. Also any food with Vit D in high amounts makes me sick so if I plan on eating anything with Vit D I need anti barf medications first.
