Morning Sickness Remedies Are No Sure Thing - But there is help

[Guest guest]

What I love about these articles, are they are from real doctors that see beyond most Allopathic doctors. (For the new comers, Allopathic is Western medicine that is practiced in the USA, Europe, and a few other countries, that prescribes pharmaceuticals.)

Morning Sickness Remedies Are No Sure Thing

Morning sickness just isn't fair. Just when you -- or your daughter or your neighbor in the next cube -- need to eat smarter and better than ever before, food is about as appealing as a ride on a tilt-a-whirl. You feel sick, get sick and are sick. And who said it only happens in the morning? Probably someone who never had "morning sickness"! When headlines recently announced, "No Cure for Morning Sickness," we heard a nationwide groan from soon-to-be moms. But those reports were a bit misleading: "No cure" doesn't mean "Nothing helps." It means the experts found so many shortcomings in the 27 studies they reviewed that there was no evidence for a "cure." Excuse us if we're repeating what your mother-in-law has already said, but, "It will get better." Odds are you'll be enjoying breakfast again by week 16 of your pregnancy. Meanwhile, these steps should give you some relief: --Eat cold foods. Hot food heightens your sense of smell, and odors are stomach-turners. --Eat 100 percent whole-grain crackers before getting out of bed in the morning. --Eat a diet that's high in lean proteins, complex carbs and includes brown rice and leafy greens. --Take vitamin B-6 (10 mg) once a day. --Sip fresh gingerroot tea or take a ginger supplement (300 mg) once or twice a day.
