Steps:

• Dr. Ghosh: Nausea and vomiting are often associated with cancer-from chemotherapy, after surgery, from medications and radiation therapy. Sometimes even strong smells can cause nausea or vomiting. Medications that fight nausea work well for most people but may cause symptoms of dry mouth, sleepiness and light-headedness.Here are some helpful hints to relieve nausea:Use a kitchen fan or open the windows when cooking.Keep pans covered to reduce cooking odors. Eat small, frequent meals slowly.Serve food cold because cold foods have less of an aroma.Avoid spicy, greasy or rich foods.Choose dry, salty foods such as dry toast, crackers and pretzels.Choose sugar-sweetened beverages over sugar-free drinks, because sugar slows digestion and doesn't tend to cause nausea.Drink chilled beverages because they go down easier.Consume foods separate from beverages by at least an hour, if you are not troubled by dry mouth.Sit up or stay up for at least 90 minutes after eating.Specific foods that may help include clear liquids, carbonated drinks, yogurt, sherbet, angel food cake, hot wheat cereal, rice, oatmeal, boiled potatoes, noodles, canned peaches or other soft fruits and vegetables.From "Betty Crocker's Living with Cancer Cookbook."
