What Can Be Done To Stop Vomitting? My Mother Has Gerd, Hernia, Ibs, On Meds, Any Advice? Please Read On.?
PLEASE only serious answers, I really need some serious advice. Let me start by saying, yes, she sees a md, once a month, BUT I have a VERY stubborn 61 yr Mom who smokes, eats terrible, no exercise, the only reason why she finally went to hospital was by ambulance with pain, vomit, diarhea. For the last year, she was diagnosed with GERD, IBS, had a mas on adrenal gland (removed in Oct 07). has had a hyenial hernia (prob spelled wrong!) for yrs, & as they said “healing” ulcer. About once every other month, she gets hit at once with all of it, vomit, diarhea,pain.Also Dr has her on dicyclomine, prilosec otc, promisthazine. She ends up at the er because the nausea meds in her iv are the only thing that stop her vomiting. Forgot to mention, shes severly depressed! everything is negative. I try to talk to her. hopefully she will start listening, but for now, is there any “home remedy” that helps with the nausea, vomiting? she also used the suppositories for nausea too, didn;t work .
check with her doctor and see if she can take dramamine, it is a motion sickness pill, but whenever I get sick with vomiting I take one and the nausea and vomiting gets better. They will make you sleepy though.
I wish you and your mother the best of luck, it sounds like you both are really struggling.
God Bless!
Darling, you have your hands full, sound like your mom is on or has tried the standard prescription drugs for vomiting. She should certainly avoid fatty and sugary foods. Sleeping elevated at 30 degrees or higher. Very small frequent meals during the day may help. Having something like pretzels or crackers always in the stomach can be helpful. Good luck
I have found that ginger helps–either the ginger crystals or the powder which you can put in any drink. I have also used Emetrol which is in the pharmacy section of any store. There are also bracelets that are made for nausea. These are used for pregnant women but should work with your mom.
I was gonna say phenergan(sp) for he vomiting…but as far as home remedies maybe this..
For vomiting, boil a cup of water and mix a tsp of cinnamon or one cinnamon stick. Add 1 tbs of honey for sweeting.
The vomiting will stop within 5 minutes.
also i’ve heard ginger is good for an upset tummy. and honey. but hopefully you can get her to a DR soon

“Some of the effective home remedies for vomiting are as follows. Have a cup of ginger tea, Eat a mixture of honey and powder of 2 roasted cardamoms, Have a glass of chilled lime juice, Have a mixture of 1 tsp mint juice, 1 tsp lime juice, 1/2 tsp ginger juice and 1 tsp honey. Slowly sip a glass of honey water, Have one tsp onion juice in regular interval, Slowly sip a glass of chilled cola, Relax for some time.”
The big thing she probably needs to do is cut out all the acidic foods in her diet – like cola, fatty food, etc.
ONe thing that really helps my GERD is drinking cold water with lemons in it. Like several glasses a day.
Lemons help make the ph in your stomach more alkaline instead of acidic – I know it sounds wierd cause we think of lemons as acidic, but they aren’t, they are alkaline.
Good luck. Also look into this:http://acidalkalinediet.com/index.html?g…
