Yes, that's me too. I look through recipes to find something new and interesting to eat.

I used to post frequently on this forum many years ago, when my emetophobia was worse. I've always been afraid of v* but it never controlled my life until about 10 yrs ago and that's when I found...

Hello fellow emets,
It's been a few years since I've been to this forum. Over time my emetophobia lessened to a degree that if someone near me had an sv or v* I would no longer freak out. Every...

Someone e-mailed this to me and I thought you guys would find it humorous. So many of these things I do to avoid getting a bug. LOL.



MY LIFE IS A MESS

I want to thank all of you for...

It sounds like gas. I don't think it's a virus.

A key factor to my bouts of moderate to severe emetophobia is anxiety and depression. On a good day, I'm still concerned about vomiting but I don't obsess over it nor does it control my life.

As much as I hate getting vaccines, I would be the first one in line to get this vaccine.

I am 43 years old. Since I've been 18, I have only vomited twice. (Knock on wood!) The last time was over 10 years ago. My sister who is a little older than me only vomited once as an adult. A...

Here is my latest blog entry. While I wouldn't want to have any phobia, especially emetophobia, there are some good habits I picked up from having it.

I'm 43 but didn't really have emetophobia until my mid-30's. So I guess I was mid-life when it hit me.

Hi guys, it's been a while since I last posted on here.

Like many emetophobes, I developed some of the strangest habits that only other emetophobes would understand. One of my biggest obstacles...

From the research I've read on the internet, hand sanitizers with the main ingredient of ethyl alcohol are not effective on viruses.

This morning a doctor was on Fox news and said that hand...

I don't remember how many times I've vomited as a child but since turning 18, I've only vomited twice. I'm now 43. My sister only vomited once in her adult life and she is a few years older than me...

I agree with Sage. I have Bourne's book and it's excellent.

The creator of the Emetophobia Eraser Program contacted me via my blog a while ago. She wanted me to link to her webpage. I didn't...

Well I survived last night. I ran to the bathroom a few more times and the Unisom kicked in. I'm still a little gassy but feeling better.

BTW, the chinese restaurant we went to doesn't use MSG.

Right now I'm shaking with chills and fear. I was starting to doze off and then my stomach started acting up with bloating, gas and burning.

I went to the bathroom and had a BM and tons of gas...

Can you also ask Alvin what the difference is between Benzalkonium and Benzethonium?

thanks

Here's the latest entry in my blog about Rescue Remedy. Read this before buying it.

I use Charco-caps and it does help with bloating, gas, and acid indigestion. I don't know if it will help nausea associated with food poisoning.

The one thing to watch out with charcoal is not to...

When the virus is "in the air" it's transmitted via "droplets". In order to become infected, these droplets still must enter the GI tract via the mouth.

This is my latest blog entry about hand sanitizers and norovirus. Feel free to pass it along to anyone who may...

Welcome. This site helped me a lot. During times of panic, I've had this site to come to.

My emet seems to hit me harder at night usually after 9pm when it's dark outside.

Anyone else notice this too?

If you wash your hands frequently, especially before eating or touching your face, you should be fine. The stomach virus is not airborne.

The nausea is most likely caused from nerves. Please let...

Welcome to the forum.

I know exactly how nervous you feel as I've been in similar situations. What I usually do is take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water.
