I like trader joe's rice crackers. You could also try Ener-g foods

gourmet crackers. These are the two plainest things I can think of.

You could also try a baked potato... It's my favorite when I have an

upset stomach.

Ginger is supposed to reduce nausea, so you could try pickled ginger

or candied ginger, depending on your taste. You can also buy GF ginger

chewable things that are intended for carsickness. Mint tea is also

supposed to reduce nausea.

People around me swear by Cream of Wheat. They say it's healthy and that it digests fast so if you throw up you will already have the nutrients. I don't know of a GF product that's similar (I don't like it) but if you know of something you could look into that.azrescue36 wrote: Hello ..

Cream of Rice. Bob's red mill also has a buckwheat hot cereal that is

definitely gluten free.

First off, CONGRATULATIONS!

May morning sickness be the worst part of the next 20 years or so. :-)

Second, I was never GF with my four babies... and am not expecting

to have morning sickness while GF. (But you never know.)

Third, CITRUS ALTOIDS became one of my food groups. Honest, those

things were just right for me. NOT the peppermint ones which I

still can't eat, to this day, 10 years after the pregnancy when

I tried one and ended up in the ER from the vomitting migraine that

seemed to result. (Maybe it was strictly coincidence. Maybe not.

Who knows. I'm not about to repeat the experience.)

Fourth, if you want a cracker, I'd go with Ener-G's crackers:

To me, these taste JUST LIKE Saltines.

Even to my son who tasted one and said " Hey, these are 's

crackers in a different box " . NB, 's serves Saltines with the

chili.

Fifth, try to avoid letting your blood sugar drop low. Eat a

solid high-protein snack before bedtime. Have a snack easily

obtainable for the middle of the night. Have some raisins

available to munch before you even get out of bed.

Sixth, avoid strongly scented things.

Seventh, CONGRATULATIONS! I'm truly excited for you!

nothing really helped at the beginning except, citrus foods, and eating very small meals, several times a day. I had that horrid metal taste in my mouth for about 25 weeks, so once i got rid of that, I didnt feel so nauseated anymore. I did keep a bag of fritos by the bed. I know it sound gross, but it was GF at the time, salty, and helped absorb some of that stomach acid. I also ate GF Beef Jerky. The protein helped..

Lightly salted rice cakes are the easiest and most available saltine

sub, but that's really not helpful in my experience. Keeping your

blood sugar from dipping in the first place by consuming protein

regularly is really the best way to hold off the queasy stomach. With

both of my pregnancies the only way I could tolerate protein when I was

already feeling queazy was COLD (or spicy Mexican food, oddly enough,

but that was just me!) and so cheese and daily smoothies were the best

options for me... I went through so much plain whole milk yogurt, bags

of unsweetened frozen berries, and bananas that our shopping cart

always seemed to be 1/2 full of smoothie fixings! I've made maybe 2 or

3 smoothies total since my second baby was born 2 years ago, but they

were a lifesaver for the pregnancies!

I've never heard of a hot cereal for morning sickness... interesting!

Cream of Rice would be the closest and I do enjoy it with some maple

syrup stirred in, but the texture would have made me barf while I was

pregnant. Maybe it''ll appeal to the OP though!

Cassava crackers are very gentle also, and

rice, of course. I needed citrus while pregnant, especially lemonade and

grapefruit juice. Slowly eating a couple of almonds several times a day is

supposed to be good for pregnant heartburn (or any, I guess).

Bananas? Applesauce? Ginger tea might be

nice, or chamomile. Oh, I needed Good Earth tea while pregnant also—spicy

with things like cinnamon, cloves etc. Chai might be as good.

Congratulations on having morning sickness—I

hope it passes soon and you start the glowing phase!

There are two GF hot cereals that we really like:

1. Bob's Red Mill - Mighty Fine GF cereal

2. Birkett Mills (branded as Pocono, Wolff, and probably one or two

others) buckwheat cereal.

Both of these are quite tasty, and can be enhanced with cinnamon and/or

raisins.

Popsicles worked great for me. Just the ordinary frozen, flavored

water ones were the best - have someone bring you one before you get

out of bed and then suck it slowly. If I did that first thing in the

morning, I felt far less queasy all day.

Thanks so much for everyone's great ideas. I am going to the store

today to buy up some stuff. I'll be glad when this phase passes.

thanks ...

I dont think I would have liked it when I was pregnant either because

of the texture, but I like cream of rice with either brown sugar and

walnuts stirred in or fresh berries.

Before you use too much ginger, ask your doctor or nurse if it's okay

while pregnant.

I have heard that it can cause miscarriage, although this is hearsay.

According to a medicinal herbalism book I have, you should not exceed

more than 1 g. powdered ginger herb in capsules per dose, or take 2-5

drop doses tinctures as required to reduce morning sickness, up to 5

ml a day. They say do not exceed stated dose and use with respect in

early pregnancy. I wouldn't think that a few slices of pickled ginger

or a small piece of candied ginger would present a problem, but I

wouldn't recommend eating a large volume of it at once. You also may

want to alternate it with mint etc. Of course it's always good to

consult with your doctor.

I found it was the smell of food that made me nauseated. Cold food

doesn't have much smell. When I stuck to cold food I was able to eat

just about anything.
