While there are anti-nausea medications which can be prescribed by your doctor, you can be your own doctor too. You just need to learn a few simple tricks on what’s the best for you to reach out from your pantry during this time.  

1. Firstly eat small and frequent meals like  Ragi and Oat Crackers with Cucumber Dip, so that you don’t over stuff yourself with one large meal.

3. In general cold foods are better handled than hot foods during nausea. However if you love warm soups, go for it. But try and avoid chunky soups as that might need extra chewing and digestion. 

4. Prefer dry snacks. Pick something very simple like a toast or crackers or try other healthy options like Flax Seed Shakarpara and Bajra Methi Khakhra.
