I guess that would be fine as long as you just chew on the ginger and don't

swallow the fiber of it. I'm just saying this because my understanding is

that there isn't to be any solid food going through the system during a

flush. I could be wrong (and if I am, I'm sure someone will jump right in

there to correct me! )

Can you get ginger tea? I was just thinking that if you drank some earlier

in the day before the flush, that might help. Another thing is peppermint

oil. One time I really had trouble with nausea during a flush and I added a

drop or two of peppermint oil to one of the drinks (I take mine in 15-20

minute intervals) and that really helped. This past flush I also used an

aromatherapy diffuser and put peppermint oil in it. The air in the room

smelled of peppermint and I didn't have any nausea at all. I did later on

in the middle of the night, so I think I might try that in the bedroom as

well.

You don't need a diffuser, though - you could just put a few drops on a

tissue and keep it nearby. Peppermint oil is one of those that CAN be taken

internally but is also useful just from the aroma.

Someone else has suggested sucking on a piece of grapefruit, which takes the

oil taste out of your mouth and could help with the nausea. I tried doing

that with orange sections and it did help - just getting the oily

taste/feeling out of the mouth seemed to help.

I also use " light " olive oil. I would imagine that might make a difference

in the level of nausea as well.

Maybe others have other ideas???

Thanks for your reply. No, I don't have a blender. :-( I based myself

on this post:

" For some of you who are experiencing nausea after ingesting the

olive oil mixture, you may need to add fresh ginger into the blend

and even save aside a piece to chew on to help stop the nausea.

Hope this helps......Betsy "

but here it's suggested to chew on a piece (urgh) to help stop the

nausea, and I was thinking profylactic.

Thanks for your suggestions. The nausea wasn't too bothersome, and

did not have a bad taste in my mouth. The nausea didn't come until

after I had fallen asleep, and I could fall asleep again after a

while. (I usually wake up in the night to go peeing.) If it comes

back the next time, I'll consider the peppermint oil in the bedroom

or ginger.
