Apparently ginger is a natural remedy to "the sickes." I beg to differ. I paid $6 for a box of anti-nausea ginger gum and I thought I was being poisoned within the first 15 seconds of chewing the gum. I don't even know if I made it that long. Even a co-worker tried the gum and let out a very loud scream. I'm not thrilled that I paid $6 for a pack of gum... I wonder if Rite Aid would take it back?
On another note, Ginger Ale is my new best friend. Yesterday between 5-9 p.m. I drank an entire liter of Ginger Ale by myself. I would fill a cup of ice to the rim, fill in some ale, drink it all down then eat all the ice and start over again. It was wonderful, refreshing, and healing. I'm in that sickie phase where I'm not throwing up at all, not really craving anything, just nauseated. Monday was the worst day to date, and since then it has been tolerable. Jolly Ranchers are also very nice to keep around. As long as I have a piece of candy or some ale in my mouth, I'm a happy little bee!
Dear God, thank you for the sickies. I'd rather be sick and with child than sick and without.
Awww, thank goodness for the sickies. LOL about the nasty gum, but hooray for ginger ale :) Glad you found something that helps.
ReplyDeleteI think in your name I saved the taste-buds of a new friend yesterday! A couple at church, hubby was at group and sat with us because his 8 week preggo wifey was home with the sickies!
ReplyDeleteLater, we saw them in Whole Foods and I was quick to say: Do not try ginger gum! Go get ginger ale, pronto!
She instantly began walking to the soda isle!
Way to save those taste-buds, Jess :)
Too bad you dont live up north near me. We have a local soda company (Foxon) which makes an EXCELLENT ginger ale--actually, 3 different types (with different strengths of ginger)--by far the best I've had. And Im a Ginger ale enthusiast. They use real ginger, and plenty of it!
ReplyDeleteBTW: Camomile tea with gresh ground ginger helps loads too!
