LOL Chris!! Since I live here in the Land of Kim Chee, I felt

compelled to comment.

 

I agree on the benifits of kim chee, and I can see how it would be

helpful. It has very strong digestive qualities too.

 

Without getting into great detail, or accidentally turning anyone off

of your suggestion, let me just say that if there is one thing in the

world that can take my AM sickness to new heights of exquisite

torture, it's kim chee. When I'm not pregnant - I love it. But it's

SO ubiquitous here, and it leaves a very distinctive smell on the

breath and body odor.... I CANNOT escape it anywhere I go. Hence, my

issues.

 

I will say that it is very good for any digestive ailments, and when I

am not pregnant, I find it quite delicious.

 

Sometimes I find lemonaid helps a bit, but it's not so good for the

reflux problem - nor is mint. But am am thinking of putting lemon and

mint in the burner today. Ginger tea helps a bit. My AM sickness

last all day, and only seem to go away when I am eating (which is hard

to do) or sleeping - so any and all suggestions are welcome.

 

I really find this fascinating. Even though this is my first

pregnancy, I truly believe that each one is different for each woman,

so the more suggestions I hear, the better I feel. Something is bound

to work eventually, even if it is just waiting it out until the second

trimester.

Jen,

How about plain old soda crackers? It helped so many women, including

myself.

Strange thing, I rarely had morning sickness but mine was in the evening.

And mine was all day long, every day for 6 months. And it was the worst

in the evenings.

I just remembered this today! ?? A timely brain burp.

Ginger snaps and ginger tea are very good for Morning sickness.

Many HUGS!!!
