Fresh lemon and ginger are both known for their ability to calm the stomach and support digestion. These homemade ice blocks are a refreshing option, especially if you’re struggling to keep other things down.

How to make them:

• Combine fresh lemon juice, grated or sliced ginger, and filtered water
• Pour into moulds and freeze
• Suck slowly as needed, especially when eating feels out of reach

Pour into moulds and freeze. Suck on them slowly throughout the day to help settle your stomach, especially when nothing else feels tolerable.

Dips in blood sugar can trigger or worsen nausea. That’s why it’s helpful to include a source of protein at each main meal and to snack on protein-rich options between meals.

Good options include:

• Eggs
• Greek yoghurt
• Nut butter on toast
• A small handful of almonds or seeds

Don’t worry about big portions, even a few bites can make a difference.

Dehydration can make nausea worse, but drinking too much at once can also feel overwhelming. Instead, aim for small, frequent sips throughout the day.

Supportive options include:

• Coconut water
• Ginger or peppermint tea
• Plain filtered water in small amounts

Even if it’s just a few sips at a time, every bit helps.

Sometimes, it’s about finding a quick fix that’s easy and portable. Many women find ginger lollies help take the edge off, especially mid-morning or during travel.

Look for options made with real ginger, not just flavouring. Health food stores usually carry better-quality versions. Keep a few at your bedside, in your bag, or wherever you spend most of your day.
