Nauseous? Try Peppermint!



Recommended Posts

I see lots of posts on here about nausea. I read somewhere that peppermint helps. I have found that my Multi-Vitamin, no matter when I take it, makes me nauseous. Most recently I discovered that sucking on a sugar free peppermint makes it go away immediately. This has also worked for me when a food has not agreed with me. I just thought I would share in case anyone else is having the same issues. I wish I would have tried this months ago! :)

I've found relief with ginger chews, but they're essentially ginger/sugar clumps. I'm just getting used to the idea of sugar-free, thanks for the peppermint tip!

I experience nausea every other day. This is good to know. peppermint! Wow! I will get some later today to help with that. I usually just don't eat anything else because I feel so sick.

My wife is pregnant and when she had bad morning sickness she went to an acupuncturist who is into all this holistic stuff. She gave her a small vial of a strong peppermint liquid to just take a sniff of to alleviate the nausea. After my surgery I tried it and it works! I keep it on my desk at work now for whenever I get queasy.

I just took my antidepressant which makes me very nauseous. I chewed on a piece of sugar free peppermint gum and it subsided. Thank you for the advice.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
