Not looking for a medical diagnosis
I got out of hospital just after New Year after having a blocked bowel. I'm still struggling with nausea and constantly feeling sick. I'm on three anti sickness tablets and still feel like I'm on a rowing boat in the Atlantic. GP knows how I am.
Any tips on what I can try to eat? I managed some tomatoe soup and bread today which was an achievement.
Any replies would be appreciated thanks.

Those Ryveta cracker breads a bit of butter (and maybe some fruit) are good, crackers also and ginger biscuits. Ginger is great for sickness, so ginger tea too and raw ginger, also green tea is meant to be good for sickness too.
Hope you feel better soon x
You can only get it on prescription, but the anti-emetic drug Domperidone (Motilium) is very good and what I use when I'm feeling sick and nauseous. If you can face it, it should be taken 30-60mins before food.
Feel better soon x
Thanks for your suggestion my GP gave me a prescription for this today. I feel so bad I've never had nausea like this in my life I hope it subsides. I'm struggling to keep my medications and food down. I managed to eat a bit today hopefully I can have some soup later.
Thanks avasgranny for your best wishes as always they are much appreciated. Thanks also to TelevisionUser and LYNN(E) for your suggestions.
I ate loads of salted popcorn - that seemed to help, much like the crisps someone else mentioned?
Thanks Emmersonne for your suggestions. I've started the Prochlorperazine Stemetil tablets and they have made a massive improvement thank goodness.
I'm on these at the moment too and really struggling with food - even the smell.
I find sprite good, better than water actually , for staying down and coconut water.
My friends swears by BRAT after sickness - banana , rice , Apple sauce then toast- I don't like banana but tried some rice last night and it was ok, managed it anyway.
Hope you feel better soon
Thanks Mrstim hope you feel better too & thanks for your suggestion.
