I really have the same problem with you right now. I eat once per day (very small amount), and i just had my lunch, i really want to puke. I feel guilty after having my lunch. I'm suffering, i'm hungry, and i drink a lot of water to cover it, i have a bad gastric problem since i was 8, but i'm still doing this until today. I feel very stupid. I wish that i could stop it. \n\nTrust me, if someone said that you are skinny, please eat ! Eat 3 times per day, but don't eat too much. Exercise, ut do not over exercise (1 hour per day, it's enough). Love your body please ...

First of all, you need to solve your immediate problem- nausea and vomiting.  \n1. Take an over-the-counter anti-nausea medicine.  \n2. Drink water- but drink water at room temperature and in small sips.  Drinking water that is too hot or too cold will probably shock your otherwise weak stomach.  Also, drinking water with big gulps may also shock/upset your stomach.\n3. Eat food that is easy to digest.  Re: Simple carbohydrates- such as white pasta, crackers and white bread.  \n\nAlso, I found a cool article on hot cure hangovers -it has advice on more things than nausea...\nhttp://wehow.ehow.com/how_2003075_cure-hangover.html

Hi Alicia\n\nFOOD POISONING\n\nIf detected early enough by that bad queasy feeling it is best to vomit the food out. Drink 2 quarts of warm water with a little lemon juice in it. \n\nPut your fingers down your throat and tickle your uvula (that little drooping piece of flesh in the back of your mouth). After you vomit, or if its been too long since the meal, to Absorb the Poison or Bacteria; Drink 8 ounces of liquid with 1 heaping teaspoon of  Charcoal (herb): Repeat 2 to 3 more times. \n\nBest of health to you

nausea is the feel you get like you want to 'throw up'\nie you feel like vomiting.\nThe causes are so many, some are harmless but you need to see a doctor if it is persistent. As per the sleeplessness, i suggest you talk to some body who's understanding.\nI wish you well

Keep a box of saltines next to your bed. Before you get out of bed, eat a few. Even if you aren't hungry (would you rather eat or dry heave). Sit up and get out of bed slowly.\n\nDuring the day, keep crackers with you. Also ginger ale will get rid of the nauseousness because ginger is known to settle a stomach.

Been there. Breathe and remember that it will pass. \nI usually have to throw up to get past an anxiety attack. \nTake an antihistamine. It should help the anxiety for the time being.\n\n Then get yourself some medication.\n\nPraying works by keeping you occupied until your body can get back to normal. You could recite poetry or a speech if you don't know any prayers.

You're probably getting sick because you're choosing to live in fear. fear causes stress, and when you're stressed, your body releases hormones that stop your immune system from working properly. STOP CHOOSING TO CONSTANTLY BE AFRAID YOUR FAMILY MEMBER IS GOING TO DIE. there seriously is absolutely nothing you have any ligitamate reason to fear anything at all. Relax. trust in God. God does not give us the spirit of fear, but of power, of love, and of a strong mind.

First what are you going thourgh at this time? are you under a lot of stress and tension that alone can put your stomach in a tailspin.\n\nSecond what are you eating a lot of fat salt dairy if eaten alot can cause heartburn, direrrah, and just makes you feel sick.\n\nThird have you gone to a dr and get some feeback on why your stomach is so sick. Try to relax and not get so upset if that is the case, worry causes harm and it is not good.\nA nice cup of hot tea, soft music, a good nap. comforting scrpiture Psalm 23 for example, deep breathing all these things can help your stomach not "be in knots" I know from past experince and please feel better.

I don't know...\n\nBut the feeling and pain, comes from the brain... Try thinking about other stuff, when you go from full to hungry... I think its better to think than to puke (if you eat too much)\n\nEating slowly might help...

Gravol always worked for me.  Also, try to ride in the front seat and don't ever ride facing backwards.  Pull over before you vomit and use the ditch instead.

try drinking ginger ale or sprite to calm the stomach. it helps out and don't eat or drink things that are acidic to you and get rest and don't stress yourself out too much, balance things out. change your diet, you can still eat what you want to eat but in smaller quantites.

Emetophobia is an excessive or irrational fear of vomiting or of being around others who are vomiting. It is one of the most common specific phobias. In survey research, six percent of the U.S. population claims to fear being sick, although a much smaller number suffer from actual emetophobia, which manifests itself through a variety of phobic behavior.\n\nNearly every emetophobic contracted their phobia as a result of a traumatic incident of vomiting that happened to them between the ages of six and ten. Most emetophobics claim they can will themselves to avoid vomiting, sometimes resulting in Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and other illness. A survey of an Internet group of emetophobics found that the average member had last vomited at least twelve years earlier. On average, it is suggested that most emetophobics have been sick five or fewer times in their lives.\n\nEmetophobics are known to go to great lengths to avoid people who may be sick, to avoid being in public places where people may do so, and above all, to practice eating habits in such a manner as to minimize the chance of their heaving - many emetophobics lead strict diet regimes and often avoid foods that are known to produce the most liekly chance of food poisoning - meat and dairy products for example. Most emetophobics have very specific diets, and avoid not only food that once caused them to vomit, but also anything they suspect of being a possible cause of such illness.\n\nAnxiety concerning vomiting, or being in close proximity to anyone that might vomit can cause irrational behaviour, and often induce panic attacks. Emetophobia can have a very difficult and stressful influence on everyday life, the very nature of the illness being ever present. Many emetophobics would rather face illness than face the fear of vomiting, and in almost every case, an emetophobics body would respond to this irrational fear. Most emetophobics fear vomiting themselves, but in some cases, it has been claimed that fear of seeing other people vomit can induce an even greater phobic response than if they were to be sick themselves/\n\nEmetophobia is treated in the way common to most specific phobias.

There have been times when I tried to restrain a vomit (while racing to the bathroom) and got who-knows-what up my nose.  I tried taking a shower, pressing one nostril closed with a finger and carefully inhaling from a shower stream (too much at the wrong moment and I would have more to worry about than the yucky burning in my nose).  Blow you nose, drink water, see if you can get it to start moving (sort of like rocking a car out of snow).  Then too, try lying down for a while, take a nap, maybe it will just fall out.  Certainly see a doctor if that isn't working.

Nausea \nNausea is just one of those things we've all had to deal with once in or life. It's just a miserable feeling, but hark, here comes some remedies for that nausea that plagues you: \n\nResearchers say that Ginger is one of the best things to get rid of Nausea. So, get yourself some fresh ginger and put it in tea or you can have some ginger capsules. You can find both of these items at a health food store. \nGinger ale also works on the nausea, just drink slowly and it should help you overcome nausea. \nTea, either Camomile or peppermint can also effectively get rid of nausea. \nYou could also try the pressure point between the thumb and forefinger. Supposedly this point on the body will help remove the queasy feeling and prevent you from throwing up. \nVomit or not to vomit, that is the question, whether it will cure the nausea or not, it may be the only way to start feeling better.

Why would you feel sick?  Are you cutting back your portions too much?  You can't go from one extreme to the other when trying to control your weight.  Maybe you should get some help:\n\nOvereaters Anonymous:\nhttp://www.oa.org

Try those bands you get at the drug store. It's a band that uses pressure point to help with nausea. It may help, or may not..there's no harm in trying. I used it all the time when I was pregnant. Also, when I was  pregnant I get nauseated when I get hungry so I always prevent it by having crackers or other things to eat at all times. Eat small meals frequently.\n\nI hope your morning sickness goes away. Some women have it all the 9 months of pregnancy and some have it for a short time. Some never have it at all. I hope you're one of the lucky ones.
