shocked by what doctor said.....

[jadepanic]

my doctor said to me that if i don't eat as i am afraid of v*...thts silly becasue according to her its easyer for stomach acid and stomach juices to come up than food...so she was saying if your going to V*...u will regardless if you have eaten or not...but food actually will stay down better than if you are empty...OMG!!....dnt no if this will make me eat anymore though!! doubt it.

This is indeed true when you feel like vomiting because of motion sickness, emotions, or other "in your head" reasons. It seems that if your stomach has some food in it, it can tolerate more of this type stress. Several work buddies who do get seasick have told me they would never go on a boatride with empty stomach.

I don't think it would matter if you were full or not if you were actually sick with a virus or food poisoning, though.

yes, saltines can really do a good job of calming a tummy!

[jadepanic]

this was nothing to do with sea sickness she ment all this if you have a bug or are sick in general. aparently food is harder to come up than your stomach contents...so not eating doesnt help.

i agree with the doctor.....i know days when i'm feeling really n if i eat most times i feel better......and i don't just mean saltines....i mean food.........

i also no you can have dry heaving even with food in your stomach........been there done that........
