Altoids - easing nausea       06/01/06 07:52 AM Edit Reply Quote Memmles Reged: 04/07/06 Posts: 101 Loc: Silicon Valley, CA, USA I use Altoids to ease my nausea - nausea is also my main concern, and as an emetophobe (extreme fear of throwing up), it makes life...interesting...shall we say. But anyhow - I've found regular Altoids (peppermint) to help tremendously. I used to chew Ice Breakers gum to ease it, and it helped to some degree (psychological). Then I noted the gum had sorbitol (fake sugar) in it so stopped using it. Altoids have no fake sugar which can cause spasms and are pretty powerful. So my tummy gets cooled off really quickly and effectively. If you have bigtime acid reflux issues, might not be a good bet for you though. ~ e. -------------------- East Palo Alto, CA (San Francisco Bay Area/Silicon Valley) IBS-C, pain, nausea Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
