Is eating making you feel nauseous? Here are some simple ideas to make you feel better:

• Try to eat small frequent meals
• Take advantage of the times that you are feeling well by eating more at these times
• Sip fluids frequently – at times this may be easier than eating
• Avoid highly spiced, rich and flavored foods
• Avoid food smells

• Choose bland foods – dry biscuits, sandwiches, rice etc
• Foods pale in color may be easier to eat e.g. pears rather than apricots
• Dry ginger ale and peppermint tea can be good to help the nausea
• Avoid fried and other high fat foods
