Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Eat a healthy and low-fat diet that includes lots of fruits and vegetables, skinless poultry, lean meats, nuts, fish, whole grains, and plant-based oils, especially in small portions, as it will be easy for digestion.
  • Avoid eating over-sweet food and include more salty food, especially if you have been vomiting. 
  • Increase the intake of fluids. Drink a small amount of water after small intervals to stay hydrated. 
  • Avoid taking greasy or oily foods, as these foods trigger nausea and vomiting. 
  • If the smell of food makes you feel sick (vomit), do not cook food, as it may worsen your condition. Let someone else do the cooking or use prepared food from the freezer.
