Answer 1

Nausea is an uneasiness of the stomach that often accompanies the urge to vomit, but doesn't always lead to vomiting.

Nausea can be caused by psychological or physical problems. It can originate from problems in the brain or organs such as stomach, liver, small intestine...

It may also be caused by intense pain, motion (seasickness), medications, emotional stress (fear), certain smells or odors, early pregnancy, food poisoning and diseases of many non-gastrointestinal organs of the body.

When trying to control nausea:
* Drink clear or ice-cold drinks.
* Eat light, bland foods (such as saltine crackers or plain bread).
* Avoid fried, greasy, or sweet foods.
* Eat slowly and eat smaller, more frequent meals.
* Do not mix hot and cold foods.
* Drink beverages slowly.
* Avoid activity after eating.
* Avoid brushing your teeth after eating.
* Choose foods from all the food groups as you can tolerate them to get adequate nutrition.
