Topic: nausea

I just read the December Good Housekeeping journal and it had an article in about managing nausea from chemo and a study was published about how a higher intake of protein helped with this problem. The article suggested increasing protein through protein shakes and powders available at the health store as it gets the protein quicker into your system. I hope this helps someone.

Re: nausea

I have noticed that if I have an egg, it helps control the nausea a bit.  It's hard for me to change my eating habits.  I love fatty foods, which of course wreaks havoc with my system. 

I'm going to be trying more organic fruit and veggies from a local farm, too, to help control the craving for fats.
