Ah yes. My main core issue...
I used to eat gads of Altoids to get that "cooling" sensation on my stomach. That helped a lot.
Now, due to the high sugar content of Altoids and my propensity for eating a tin at a time, I've switched back to peppermind gum (Ice Breakers or Extra, etc.). I know it has Sorbitol in it, which can be a problem for some folks, but I don't seem to have issues.
And if the nausea is caused by excess stomach acid, saliva is a natural acid reducer. So chewing gum promotes saliva, which in turn can help the nausea.
Hope this helps ya... I know how wretched you can feel. I'm so sorry.
