Lemons anyone?

[hisbloodformysins]

One of the things my doctor recommended for morning sickness is lemons, or things with lemon juice. So, I bought a couple lemons. I was recently feelings pretty nausious and cut one up, put some sugar on it, and puckered up and I'm not nauseated now. Though I'm thinking this relief might only be temporary, if only I had more lemons.

never heard of that... I'm past that point now, but good to know for next time... God willing that there is a next time...
I had always heard ginger was good...pepermint helped me out some

yeah peppermint and B-6 helped alot for me, but I am still suffering a bit, with my daughter I couldn't have anything with lemons in it, the m/s got worse.

I love lemons!!! Although I have never had them with sugar... I always eat mine with salt!

I had awful morning sickness and lemons were the ONLY thing that got me through! I read it in a magazine then asked my dr. about it...she said go for it! She did say be wary of peppermint, though. It may be just because of my reflux, but peppermint relaxes the esophagus and can actually make indigestion worse. I STILL live on my lemons. Everytime DH and I go out to eat, I take a cup home and eat them. I keep some around the house, too! I found that lemonade doesn't work the same though... one would think it would.

I like lemons also, but put sugar to help buffer the intense sourness. I cannot stand grapfruit, but that's off the topic.
My doctor gave me a list of those things to try, ginger, vit. b6 (propel.... which I'm drinking right now, it has that vit. b6 in it), lemons, peppermint. The only thing I haven't tried is ginger because the one time I had it I didn't care for it, though I heard gingersnaps help. I pretty much do whatever I'm feeling at the time. Sometimes I need food, and a particular food, and sometimes peppermint wheras other times that would be repulsive, and well, last night it was lemons. Like I said, it helped!

I've not heard of that but i'm going to try it now!

With the ginger they say that eating ginger biscuits doesn't really help - you have to either have ginger tea or pure stem ginger. I love ginger but not like that. i made some ginger stars and put about double the amount of ginger needed - it didn't do anything

 

[hisbloodformysins]

Hmmm, I wonder whether they'd really work or not, haven't tried them yet, my bottom is getting so big and I could just see myself overindulging, been having a problem with that.... so it'd probably just go to my well, waist down
Let us know if it works. I ate another lemon last night with sugar, and it was yummy, sour, but yummy. I'll have to cut one up to take to work tonight.

Well unfortunately for me, my butt is shrinking so I could afford to eat them as long as they don't make me sick. I can't wait for Christmas because I am SO gonna pig out. I did that @ Thanksgiving and made myself sick tho!!! lol
