Can I tell you are a very beautiful woman 😊 I love your 50's style it looks so good with your red hair! Very beautyfull attitude and positivism ❤️

[@Underpants678]

The Diet Coke really works! I was having a bad day a while back and it made me feel much better.

[@lilydeveau9928]

Her voice is so soothing

[@nicktheveganchick]

Lily Deveau I thought the same thing.

[@laura8700]

[@Giga-lemesh]

Yes!

Lily Deveau yes!!! I can listen to her all day. So relaxing 😌

[@andriealinsangao613]

Yes!

[@tanyavs1]

I get the 'you're actually hungry, so lets make you SUPER nauseous so you totally don't know if this meal is going to make you feel better or vomit all over the place' kinda nausea. Neato! Since I have gotten older, throwing up in my mouth is a thing. I was at an off leash park and a large dog drooled on my arm. I *tried* to be cool about it, but when I went to wipe it off, I got instant nausea and threw up in my mouth. Anything can trigger it, motion, offending smells, concern (like going into large box stores). Not gonna lie. It annoys me a lot, so you must be a magical human for being able to cope so well! 💜

[@neenanothing7035]

Tanya Van Stone I relate to what you said so much! I have a very strong sense of smell and bad smells can trigger my nausea in an instant. And I also baby barf often. I carry a Queasy pen and peppermint beadlets with me everywhere to combat it.

[@oflifeandstuff]

I'm so glad other people get this too! I'm basically never sick, as in throwing up, but certain foods will trigger me and I'll throw up in my mouth or I'll feel an acidic burning in the back of my throat. Sometimes I wish I could throw it up, because better out than in... I'm thankful though that it's not the main symptom I deal with

[@kristinowens899]

@@neenanothing7035 What is a queasy pen?? I am constantly nauseous and it's horrible! I've tried peppermints, but not much help.

[@neenanothing7035]

Kristin Owens it’s called Quese Ease. And it’s hard to describe but it’s kind of like those Vick’s inhalers but for nausea. You take slow deep breathes in with it held up to your nose and it helps calm you’re nausea. It helped me a lot.

[@OrifielM]

9:46 Girl, those oil-free sweet potato wedges aren't junk food, they're healthy and one of the best foods you can eat while sick! :) Feel better soon, lovely!

[@kat_the_mouse]

you've got illness and nausea and fatigue and everything, and you've cooked, done your hair and makeup, tidied, and filmed two videos. I'm in a bad depression cycle and I barely managed to get out of bed today. I try not to blame myself, because it's my disability that makes me a useless lump, it's not my choice and I'm doing my best, but it's hard, especially when someone who has it so much worse can do so much with a day. ugh. i know everyone says you can't compare yourself with others, but ughhhh. (i'm sorry if this was rude.)

[@Brynwyn123]

social - disaster You aren't useless, your brain is just saying that because it's upset. Mental health problems are complicated as hell and just as real and severe as physical disabilities are.

[@kat_the_mouse]

Katie M Thank youuu! That's so kind!

[@jessicaoutofthecloset]

Yes! This is perfect reply ♥

[@jessicaoutofthecloset]

Hello my darling, please please please don't compare yourself to what I'm able to do on a day like this. This level of illness is just a manageable, normal level for me it isn't an especially bad day. On my really bad days I can't move or speak so I can't hold a camera and film- although I would like to be able to show you that too. I promise you're not a 'useless lump'; this dark period does not define you and you will go on to do many wonderful things. We're both trying our hardest and that is what's important. Please know that you are not alone. I'm sending you warmth and love and I hope things get brighter for you soon xxx

[@amagicbeanbuyer]

What you said at the beginning of the video about how the most important thing is to feed your body and eat intuitively was so helpful. I struggle with an eating disorder so when I feel ill, I tend to try to use it as an excuse to not have to eat because I can't eat my exact perfect meal plan. Thank you for this video :)

[@neenanothing7035]

I am so glad I found you. I have been so depressed because I could not see a light at the end of the tunnel. My disabilities have become so overwhelming this year that I had to drop out of school for the first time. But you give me hope that I will have good days again and I won’t always be bound to this bed. Plus we both have a love for vintage style!

[@amandas7368]

On my bad days I eat canned peaches, rice porridge and grapes. These are some great tips on how to change that up though. The frozen grape thing sounds especially remarkable. Thank you! 🌻 I was also wondering, is Clara an aide that became a friend, or is she a friend that also became an aide, or is she a friend that just spends a lot of time at your place and helps out? :)

[@boojingleful]

I've been going through a rough period with my chronic conditions for several months and I've been struggling so much with food and eating. Even the simple batch cooking I've learnt to rely on has been difficult, and accepting the need to scale back my expectations of myself and go back to pre-prepared food, particularly things I can keep in the cupboard as there's a lack of freezer space in my current living situation, is an ongoing process, let's say. The mantra of it being better to eat something than nothing is definitely a useful one!

[@PhoebeFayRuthLouise]

Thanks for so many sick day eating tips! Love getting to watch the Claudia comes home routine! You are such a sweet family!

[@sierram9573]

Words can not express how much your videos mean to me. Especially this one, this has been one of my biggest issues, and has also been worse lately. I basically couldn’t eat for a week. Basically everything that I can eat is fruit. Doctors always try to give me crap for my diet during these times when I’m literally just trying to find anything my body can keep down. Even just enough to be able to take my meds without throwing those up. Thank you ❤️

[@thelass]

Thank you so much for this video. I have lupus and deal with nausea frequently. Your message at the beginning about all that matters is you eating, doesn’t matter what it is, resonated. I have worked in nutrition, fitness, and wellness for years and used to get so stressed on sick days because I knew I wasn’t eating “right”. I have since learned to just take those days for what they are, just a day, one of many days that I am able to eat much healthier than when everything makes me sick. Thanks for the confirmation to just eat what sounds good, it is good to not feel alone.

[@TheTARDISCatcher]

I recently discovered your channel, and watching your videos makes me feel so much better when I’m down! Thank you for making videos ❤️

[@KateyKat98]

After having surgery a few months ago, I was told that the debilitating nausea I was experiencing was a side effect that Ill have to learn to live with. Eating was something I loved, and it’s becoming a struggle. Thank you so much for filming this video! It’s nice to know you aren’t alone, and hear that it’s okay to not feel okay. I’ll be sure to use the tips, and I already enjoy frozen grapes. Much love!

[@missluna___]

Thank you SO much for making this video! I struggle so badly with my disability when it comes to feeling generally ill so it's nice to have some tips on what to eat to help. You are amazing.

[@shedevil50337]

I have severe M.E. & am bed bound. I eat when I am brought food. My wife is also ill &, if she's too ill to bring food, we both go hungry. As her health is deteriorating rapidly, we've lost a lot of weight & both have several nutritional deficiencies. The local council assessed us as needing 1.5 hours of care per day which they'll fund, but our last provider could no longer supply the staff after our main support assistant left. She'd been with us for 4 years & was fantastic. We knew she would leave at some point as she was working whilst doing a degree then a Masters & she got a job as an Occupational Therapist. We miss her but wish her all the best. She was a great young woman. We've been trying to find a replacement care company for almost 3 years but there's no vacancies. We've been told we can have all 10.5 hours in a single day but that's no good. We're currently advertising to employ a support assistant directly which we didn't want to do. Neither of us are well enough to do all the paperwork, but we've no option now. The care sector is poorly underfunded & badly paid. They are essential to so many sick & disabled people but the government doesn't value them. For nausea, can I recommend peppermint or ginger tea? Also you could rub some peppermint essential oil (mixed with a carrier of oil or neat if your skin can handle it, like mine) onto your stomach. After about 30 seconds it will start to pleasantly burn & that's when the nausea starts to go. Both the tea & the oil always help me. When I'm nauseous but too hungry to not eat, or even after I've vomited but need to eat, I'll have some rice added to a warmed Knorr stock pot & some water, making a broth with a bit of bite to it. That is gentle on your stomach but helps your electrolytes if you've been vomiting a lot.

[@Bindweeds1]

This diet also works for mental illness days! I get horrible depressive fits that last 2-3 days. It's all I can do just to get to the kitchen, let alone make something to eat. Fresh or frozen fruit doesn't require effort that I don't have. But some times I eat a bag of crisps. It doesn't matter as long as you eat something. Thank you for sharing such an intimate subject with us, even while ill.

[@FreshFabFine]

I really like how you sign as you talk, so sweet and flowing. And there is nothing worse than non-stop vomiting for hours on end, with no ability to eat OR drink anything.

[@caraupton2791]

OMG! I’ve never met anyone that struggles with stomach issues like me! Nausea, Eating, Hydration, & having several Auto-Immune illnesses is such a delicate balance to deal with. And it’s different everyday, yet similar. Intuitive Eating is an excellent description. And most people don’t realise there are so many different ways to be nauseous.

[@sagesufferswell]

Thank you for this! I struggle so much with food and nausea. I'm very frustrated. Excited to try frozen grapes.

[@robynb1310]

Thanks for the tips! 💗 I love frozen grapes already so I'll have to keep that in mind. ❤

[@Shadow-zf5uc]

Old American Wives tale that I've heard for home nausea treatment is Sprite and saltines (soup crackers). However, when you're disabled you kinda just have to experiment and find out what works for you! Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks with us, Jessica. Love your videos.

[@kristinowens899]

Saltines really help, but are extremely dry and can be hard to eat. For sure need a drink with them.

[@peachfuzz7329]

I’ve been feeling sick for the past few days, from what, I’m not sure yet, but this video made me feel better and not so alone! It amazing how you’re still able to look so amazing and do so much when you’re sick

[@Xanphibien]

I am going to have to try he grape thing! My stomach pain and nausea have been something I have struggled with my whole life, and I usually just let the nausea win and take a nap or lay down for a while and then IF I'm feeling hungry and my nausea has calmed down then just maybe I will get something in. I also like to chew on ice chips when my nausea is really bad. This seems like a much better alternative! Thanks girl 💕

[@cailie]

You are so wholesome, Jessica. Such a role model on so many levels.

[@karynwhy]

fruit is SUCH a spectacular thing to eat when you're low on spoons/sick/having a particularly bad disability day. fruit is ready to eat with like, no prep, so when you're too ill to stand and cook, you can still put something good in your body. i'm also a big fan of cereal stirred into yogurt.

[@johnk3606]

Intuitive eating, absolutely. Great advice for anyone who hasn't tried it. Story of my life. Hope you feel better soon Jessica.

[@eladia979]

i love how even though you weren't feeling the best, you still took the time to make claudia's lunch. that's true love💜

[@NaeOnYT]

Your Christmas hair is beautiful, and I love that shirt! (ETA: Bah, I just realized it's also your nightgown! So lovely on you.) It's so sweet that you make Claudia's lunch before she wakes up.

[@Spacebuny]

As someone who is also chronically ill as well I am so proud of you! You do a wonderful job of explaining what it’s like....go Jessica!

[@LiLloftmouse]

Great video! I'd also like to say thanks so much for always putting those little warnings in the corner, they're much appreciated :)

[@marljusweety6606]

Frozen grapes are amazing for when you have a sore throat or a sinus infection as well! It is soothing and reduces swelling. I guess ice cream or ice lollies do the same, but I prefer frozen grapes. Nicer portion sizes and its easy to just grab a few from the freezer every now and then.

I really loved seeing the continuation of what you do when you're ill and also loved seeing the little day to day things you when working from home. The dinner looked really yummy. It was so sweet to see you Jessica making Claudia's lunch for the day.

[@angie42bonponsiero56]

I am so glad I have found your videos. I have an un-diagnosed stomach complaint, I've had it for 2 1/2 years. I've been back and fore doctors, consultants, etc. I'm having no joy as they don't seem concerned as I am not losing weight. So finding someone who is suffering like me, well first of all my heart goes out to you. Secondly I now know I'm not going mad and it's not all in my head, like some people have accused me. I've had some good tips from you, keep up with the videos, wishing you well. :)

[@hannahr9177]

When I was at my worst and nearly everyday was a sick day, I lived mainly on eggs, toast, peanut butter, and cocoa made with dairy free milk. Some days I'd have a vegetable broth, but I remember after several days of feeling awful, I had had enough and bought a pizza. In several weeks, it was the first thing that hadn't made me rush to the loo!

[@piscesgagamonster]

aw, making lunch for your wife. so sweet. hope ill be doing that someday. i also like drinking soda for nausea. it really works

[@Bex920]

Well you looked much better than yesterday Jessica, glad to see you up and about although I still don't know how you manage to do all that filming and glamming up when you feel so sick! That is beyond impressive so well done you! And thanks for the snack and meal tips, I would never ever have thought berries cause they're usually so acidic they make my tummy worse. I like the idea of frozen grapes though so I'll try that. I'm really loving your vlogmas so far! And am loving your Instagram posts as well

[@AAIVE]

FOR NAUSEA: i constantly have nausea from a whole host of either my conditions or medications, and i find that anything ginger based works (including ginger beer in an absolute pinch, don’t ask - but you can do a hot ginger tea!) and you can be prescribed metoproclamide, which i currently have in my own med boxes/drawers, which is an anti-emetic that’s super effective and has always worked pretty well ime including for like heavy morphine induced nausea, 240mg+ per day dihydrocodeine induced nausea etc etc - annnd if you can’t swallow a tablet (because nausea, of course) i believe they can prescribe you oral disintegrating tablets! could potentially save you a visit to A&E if worst comes to worst! (i know it’s maybe weird that i’m back here but i haven’t seen all of your videos so i’m bouncing around because algorithm and i had to suggest, as i’ve experienced this exact problem and wanted to offer a potential remedy whilst also keeping in mind you’ve likely tried many things over the years just as i had! worth a shot though, as these things rarely go away.)

[@kateh.4389]

When I feel ill fruit also helps me feel less nauseous. I have almost constant nausea, and I will definitely try the frozen grapes tricks. Thanks a million for being a charming person! Fave- 🎅🎄🎉

[@emilyboj]

Pickles are my number one anti-nausea food. Once I get to the I'm hungry but I may still be sick stage I usually go for starchy things like oatmeal or anything made from potatoes/sweet potatoes. And my general go-to when I'm not up to making a proper meal (but not necessarily when nauseated) is a smoothie with banana, berries and peanut butter.

[@nesha934]

Plain buttered toast, but vegan butter, and flat lemonade is what I tend to go for when I'm feeling nauseas. And usually something with steamed potatoes. Flat lemonade is supposed to help calm your nausea aswell.

[@abbyschneider4644]

I have a chronic illness though i don’t think it’s bad enough to be considered a disability but it makes me gain weight very easily and makes me get ill very easily and for the longest time i viewed the times when i was sick as a chance to starve and lose some weight but i’ve been watching a lot of your videos and it’s very freeing to be drop dead ill and not deny myself a piece of dry toast thank you so much!!

[@aseriouslollygagger5734]

Thanks for sharing. You have great advice and are a real comfort to listen to on my tough days. I have the same philosophy on my sick days, feed the body whatever it will accept. Eating nothing made me worse every time. My senses are on overload so less flavor and spice the better. Frozen fruit has been my new favorite for the summer. Also, electrolyte water is part of my kit now since I usually get dehydrated. I gotta try those sweet potato fries next time.

[@jayhunterfelixkee8597]

Omg the frozen grape tip. So helpful today. I literally have had the nauseous/hungry/empty feeling for a few days now and nothing has worked 💚💚💚 thank you 💜

[@tytodreads]

I was really nauseous a few weeks ago and all I craved was carbs (I'm not usually a massive carb eater). I have a dietitian and she said that its normal for your body to want carbs when you're sick as it absorbed water in your stomach and helps prevent projectile vomiting. So go go with the sweet potato wedges! I totally agree with you RE if all you wanna eat is junk food - do it. It's probably you body telling you what you need on a cellular level.

[@bitterlikeburntcoffee]

Super helpful tips! I'm going to try the grape trick next time :) My medications often make me nauseous and even more so recently. Fizzy drinks are the only thing that seems to help me as well. Cheers! ❤️

Try this Jessica for your nasea , fresh root ginger, bring to boil a good lump roughly chopped, allow to simmer until it gets as strong as you can tolerate and sip! It helps!! Or juice some of it and dilute in little water!

[@maghouinbeg5011]

I was very sick during pregnancy, and found toast with a scrape of butter worked. Fast forward twenty odd years, and a diagnosis of Coeliac Disease. My new go-to foods when I am feeling nauseated, have a migraine, or my guts are screaming are: white rice, plain chicken in tiny bits, peas, corn and carrots diced very finely. These are the things my body says "Yes, safe". And Coke. Coke is a great way to calm things down.

[@cookiebiscuit5124]

This is the life that I dream for my future. Enjoying every seconds with my woman and my cats in our beautiful home 😊😊

[@teaguebean]

Just rewatched this and since after you made this when I'm at the worst started making sweet potato wedges. they are freaking amazing when it comes to pain nausea for me. Your food videos have helped me get through a really rough time with nausea and stomach problems I've been having the last few weeks.

[@Wethinktoohard]

Thank you so much for all your tips and tricks and experiences! I’ve never known what’s wrong with me but I relate to so much of what you address. Your channel is encouraging me so much!

[@maybellique]

How cute! You're like me in the way that you get up early to make your spouse lunch. I do this every morning at 5am for my husband and daughter. They both leave the house at around 6am. I love that you do Vlogmas!! Hope you do that this year!

[@keetyalexx]

I do agree with the “just feed your body” sentiment. On my sick days I mostly eat carbs (Cheerios, noodles, bread, etc) because that’s what helps me calm my stomach. Not the healthiest thing in the world but neither is puking soooooooo

[@rcarter]

I only recently stumbled upon your channel. Somehow one of your videos for International Week of the Deaf landed in my recommended videos feed. I watched it and really enjoyed your personality so I watched several of your other video. You and your wife, Claudia, seem to be great people and are very entertaining. I subscribed to see more!

[@MichelleFouche1]

Jessica, you make an excellent point regarding intuitive eating 👌 Love the hair for the tutorial video.

[@krisb294]

My last bad sick day, I couldn't get anything down (not even my morning tea) most of the day. In the afternoon I was finally able to make up & sip on some chicken stock. It was great! It didn't exacerbate the nausea & it helped calm the hunger that felt like it was eating away at me.

[@wanderingfinds2268]

I bought protein powder as a meal replacement/snack when I have sick days too :D it really helps. I also drink a lot of Gatorade because I dont like the taste/fizzy of soda

[@gabbyhogan2336]

I do that too! I basically lived off Powerade and sustagen when I was getting over my pancreatitis

[@wifeofrage1210]

[@madeibn]

OBSESSED with that gorgeous 40s hair look 😍 I recently got my hair cut to your length after my hair being down to my butt long because of my chronic illness stopping me from being able to style and maintain my hair (joint problems). So now your channel has helped me find my love for my hair again ❤️

[@batmanfan20101]

Thank you for this video! It really encourages me when I heard you say not to stress over what you eat on a sick day. Yesterday I slept about 15 out of the 24 hours. I had exhausted myself the day before trying to do too many errands. And I felt guilty because I ate cereal bars, strawberries, and a LOT of gummy bears. Hahahhaa but it's true that just making sure I eat is good enough. I shouldn't shame myself for being too tired to fix something else to eat. Oh, and seeing you take your pills encouraged me to take my vitamins today and I'd been skipping it!! Your videos are really helping me! Thank you!

[@TeaforTinka]

Hey Jessica I would love to see more information about your vintage fashion! Like which decades are you inspired by? When did you start wearing it? Maybe a style evolution video?

[@joshuacreel3000]

I have a question for Claudia : she works in a quite professional field and I was wondering if being LGBTQ has ever given her any issues? I'm American which I think is a bit more of a dickish culture about the whole thing (*side eyes the bigoted cheeto in power atm*) but I was curious to hear if she's ever seen it impact her in that way in the UK? You guys are super adorable, when I find a husband I hope we are as awesome as you guys.

[@KatieM786]

[@maris647]

Joshua Creel where does she work?

[@battyboo3732]

I think if you looked at most of the other countries in the world, you’d find that america is actually one of the most accepting when it comes to lgbtq+ people especially in the workplace. sure, individuals may be dicks but overall i’m pretty thankful for the rights we have in america as opposed to the rest of the world (ie third world countries and the middle east)

[@renschuon4992]

I think he meant worse as opposed to the U.K.

[@joshuacreel3000]

sydney yeah, when you compare to a lot of Asia or Africa that holds true, Europe less so. I am specifically curious about the UK though.

[@lolaebury4030]

I was quite unwell the last month and a bit. I had to go to a&e multiple times because the pain was unbearable. First time I went I got diagnosed with a water infection and given some antibiotics and they worked for a few days but then the pain got even worse and i had to go back up and they were pretty worried and almost admitted me into the hospital. Ended up spending the next day in a&e but a sort of off the side part of a&e were it wasn’t resus and it wasn’t in the main part of the waiting room where they did multiple blood sugar tests because I had gone to the doctor earlier that day and my heart rate had really gone up and the pain was bad so he immediately sent me up there. Multiple blood tests, multiple blood sugar tests, multiple blood pressure tests and finally some painkillers. They were meant to send me to get an ultrasound to see what was causing the pain, but that was never sorted out. I was even seen by a surgical consultant as the pain was so bad they thought something was rather wrong. They ended up giving me morphine which made me incredibly itchy and didn’t really help too much with pain. They wanted me to do a urine sample but at the same time I had to be nil by mouth and they wouldn’t put a catheter in my hand in case the SC needed to do something. Had a whole lot of fun with that, times were I could barely walk, every noise was too much and I spent most of my time with headphones on to quiet the noises, always felt nauseous beyond belief, rarely ate but had problems at the other end. The only thing my mum could get me to eat was Nutella, banana and sugar on white bread and all I would drink was water. They still don’t know what is still causing me this pain but jess is right when she says that when your body is ill feed it what it wants don’t feed it something it doesn’t and I listened to what my body wanted and it wanted those sandwiches because it was the only thing that didn’t make me feel nauseous. So yeah end of story

[@Bhilithinn]

Your video put such a smile on my face. I also like to do a vintage/pin-up style, and have multiple chronic illnesses. The pain and nausea have been kicking my butt the past few days, and haven't been able to leave the house. Thank goodness for grocery delivery and being able to buy pre-cut vegetables. Making a root vegetable and chicken soup that will last me for days :).

It's interesting what works for different people on sick days. I have a really bad digestive system, on my bad days I can only tolerate slow release carbs, like brown rice and potatoes. I also have plain coke to settle my stomach.

Girl you're so powerful idk think you realize it you are really inspiring

[@yousuck3846]

[@Waelly17]

I can't help but, watch these. (Oh wait maybe its because theyre actually good)

[@sophiabittencourt747]

You are so wonderful and empowering I just can’t your channel has actually given me so much confidence especially in myself and I just can’t stop mentioning it’s it’s just a lovely feeling to be loved🎅🏼

[@mnshdhdbfnkfjdvebf]

I discovered this channel a couple days ago so I've been binge watching videos and I think you and Claudia are my new otp.

[@sophiekh3334]

Thank you for the warning :) I'm very sensitive and I get anxiety thinking about being sick, somebody being sick hearing about being sick, so that was helpful :)

[@kartom3780]

It was cute when Claudia waved to us after she came back from work

Watched this during a sick day. Just put grapes in the freezer. Can’t wait! I haven’t even been able to keep down water but I’m trying ice chips and maybe protein powder later. Or, some fruit. Good tips, Jessica. Thanks.

[@jessicaoutofthecloset]

Good luck darling, hope the grapes helped a bit x

[@kristinfelty6962]

My nausea safe foods are ramen noodles and applesauce on saltine crackers. I'm definitely going to try the frozen grapes! Also, your engagement ring is so lovely! ❄️❤️

[@WackyLisa]

Today I️ watched this and your nausea hacks video. I️ never would have thought of eating my protein powder plain. Thanks. Also you mentioned protecting your teeth a few times. Would you be willing to do something on oral care with severe reflux and chronic vomiting? If you already have - ooops. Could someone please point me to it?

[@BeautyandBrainsGirl]

You have such dedication to film when sick. 🎄

[@Olivia-tw3nm]

ooh ill have to try that grape trick for when i get nauseous i used to have frequent nausea and ibs-like symptoms after prolonged antibiotic use and i never knew how to cope with it. thanks for the tip!

[@mangalover0149]

Intuitive eating is the best in general I think. “What does my body need?” Is what I ask a lot of the time.

[@codename495]

mangalover0149 my body wants potato chips and anything with copious amounts of vinegar.

[@mangalover0149]

Code Name Oh dear 😂😂

[@rowanwax]

Ooooo! The protein powder makes sense to me now! The more 🤢 I feel, the more saliva my mouth produces until it is a geyser I have to constantly swallow or I WILL throw up. Can’t even spit the nasty out. Then I am guaranteed to 🤮. The powder... does it help soak up the prep barf saliva? I must try this now! .... there should be protein powder without dairy in it somewhere! You are such a stomachache saver!

[@realityjunky]

I wore elastic wristbands with little pressure bumps, Seabands, while pregnant. They didn't eliminate nausea but they sure took the edge off.

[@haileyparlette8083]

Tea, lots of it. Particularly peppermint or ginger tea. Oh, and nice hot chicken broth in a mug. A small handful of chicken bits from a rotisserie bird and maybe a raw baby carrot or two eaten VERY slowly. Those are my sick day go tos. Though I don't vomit. Food sits in my stomach like a lead weight and my intestines churn and stab and bloat. Good times. You looked absolutely spot on all day, by the way. That nightie was beautiful.

[@faeriehex]

am i the only one that thinks claudia just... always looks so cuddly and warm Also i love that even on ur sick days u look amazing,,,,,,,, how is this possible ,,,,,

[@bumpybackroads1581]

I am like you and I have had absolutely no luck with the anti nausea pills but I am having the BEST luck with scopolamine patches for nausea. They were made for motion sickness but they work for all kinds of nausea! I am so so so thankful. No needles needed!

[@madalineriggs2858]

One of my biggest nauseous food is fries. But they can't be too salty or too plain so I mostly get them from a place that is thankfully close too my house. I've found honestly I just can't really handle meat when I'm feeling ill, and so I end up eating a lot of fries and celery. Also Diet Coke helps me with my nausea so much! Thankfully my school has plenty of vending machines with Diet Coke so that helps me a lot at school so I don't get too nauseous and I then don't have to go home and miss school.

Like always, awesome video! Talking about eating, will you update us on what you can now eat / how FODMAP is going for you ?
