Combatting sickness / nausea

This was a bit of a struggle, and is with most patients. The doctors can give you a variety of anti-sickness drugs and tablets, which need to be taken well  before you might be having food; or even thinking about food.
Another technique which might help is to use wrist bands that are designed to be used to stop sea or air sickness. Roz tried these and they did seem to help - only they only cost £2 !!

They other thing is very careful choice of food. Just what the patient will / can stomach. With Roz we found the following worked

Toast with margarine - not butter
Bananas - very good as give potassium as well
Peeled apples
Melon
Tea
Good yogurts - they have to be pasteurised (The one shown below at Derriford was very nice, while the ones in Kings were digusting - even if you were not ill - they were not real yoghurt)
Simple boiled potatoes
Sandwiches with nice bread and say thinly sliced freshly produced chicken
Cheese in individual packets
Ceratin types of low salt crisps
Special high protien drinks the dietician gave her

And then the number, taste and shape of tablets and liquid medicines also makes you sick. Ask if you can spread them out over a period, and try and eat or drink a bit before and after to help your stomach accept them
