Ginger did nothing for me and I feel cheated

Protein was completely impossible for me during the worst of it and I stopped trying. It came back and it came back quickly once the nausea lifted.

I found sipping rather than drinking was the difference. A full glass at once was guaranteed to be a mistake for about a month.

I lived on the same four things for about six weeks and felt guilty about it, and my dietitian said, in effect, good, keep going, we will widen it later.

Building on what Mimi wrote rather than answering the original question.

Fizzy water helped me and flat water did not, which makes no sense and was consistently true for about two months.

The thing that changed it for me was a slower schedule agreed with my prescriber. Within a fortnight the eating side was manageable again.

I want to say gently that if the difficulty eating has started to feel like relief rather than a symptom, that is worth mentioning to somebody. It crept up on me and a member here noticed before I did.

What I did not expect was how much better I felt after eating, when eating was the last thing I wanted to do. That gap between wanting and helping was the hard bit.

The advice that helped least was to eat whatever appeals. Nothing appealed. What I needed was a list of things I could get down when nothing appealed.

Mine came in waves of about twenty minutes and if I could sit still through the wave it passed. Trying to do anything during it always made it worse.

I raised it at my review having tracked it for three weeks and we changed one thing. It was a much shorter conversation than I had rehearsed.

Toast. Endless toast. Six weeks of toast and I was fine, and my bloods at the end of it were unremarkable.
