The American Academy of Family Physicians offers these suggestions for relieving that queasy feeling:

  • Eat small meals through the day so that you're never too full or too hungry.
  • Avoid rich, fatty foods.
  • Avoid foods with smells that bother you.
  • Eat more carbohydrates.
  • Eat saltine crackers and other bland foods when you feel nauseous.
