  • Eat a healthy diet and a low-fat diet, especially in small portions, as it will be easy for digestion. Avoid eating over sweet food and include more salty food, especially if you have been vomiting.
  • Also, if you like to vomit at a specific time, avoid eating your favourite food at that particular time as your taste for that food may get turned off.
  • Drink any other liquid at least 30 minutes after eating food.
  • If the smell of food makes you feel sick (vomit), do not cook food as it may worsen your condition. Let someone else do cooking or use prepared food from the freezer.
