I just discovered that having a big spoonful plain yogurt helps take the edge off the naseau. My naseau at present is not so severe I cannot eat, but enough to be a discomfit - I have that "sick feeling" in stomach and the yoghurt alleviates that so that I can eat and enjoy it.
Good discovery, gD! And a helpful tip for others.

"An initiation into shamanic healing means a devaluation of all values, an overturning of the profane world, a peeling away of inveterate handed-down notions of the world, liberation from everything preconceived. For that reason, shamanism is closely connected with suffering. One must suffer the disintegration of one's own system of thought in order to perceive a new world in the higher space."

GrandmaD, I remember those days. After my adverse reaction I was so ill, so so ill. My mom would come by my house and bring food from my favorite restaurant.... but I couldn't even bare to look at it or smell it. She would insist I take at least a bite, so I would but soon be running to hug the porcelain. In the early days food felt like pure slime in my mouth. I threw up for months! Not exaggerating... on a daily basis for months!!!! It was so horrible. I relied on greek yogurt and lots of filtered water during those days. I would agree with the yogurt, the thicker the better (greek has more protien as well). Protein shakes have also helped. I use 8 oz of filtered water, 2 scoops protein, 1 scoop ground flax seed, and whatever fruit I have (usually a berry blend or bannana).
Gawd, how horrible, m&m. You really went through hell. Thank goodness that is past. That's very interesting that you also found yogurt helpful!
