Of all the days to get sick, I had to choose today. I’m pukey & achy and just generally feeling nasty. It wouldn’t be so bad, but I’m supposed to go to this huge Thanksgiving dinner tonight (60 people!) and I don’t want to be a wet blanket.
Does anybody know of anything that could help me? Teas, concoctions, ect?
Sob, looks like I’m going to have to pass on the 4 cases of champaigne and after dinner schnapps tonight. Wah!
Blech. Just the sound of ice cream makes me wanna puke right now…oooh, and you had to post, reminding me of warm milk.
You know what? Could you be a dear, Cubby, and fed-ex me some of that hot stuff Yoji gave me that one morning? It worked then, maybe it would work now.
Ginger in general well known for aiding stomach problems, including motion sickness. Try candied ginger, or “ginger tea” (powdered ginger mixed with hot water and other flavourings if you need it). Fresh ginger will work but it has quite a bite.
As Snooooopy said, crackers (and other plain grain foods, e.g. plain toast, rice) are good once you’re ready to eat something.
Like Nimue said, ginger. The best way I have found is to grate fresh ginger into some ginger ale. It’s actually very good! Maybe bring some with you to the dinner?
I made it, but as feared I had to limit myself to one glass of red wine and I had to leave early. I wasn’t nearly so grumpy as I feared though, and everthing seems to be settling down pretty well.
