  • 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. 
  • Include more cool beverages in your food, like flavoured gelatin and carbonated beverages. And also, when you drink with a stray, sip slowly to avoid swallowing air that may lead to gas or acidity.
  • 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 the cooking or use prepared food from the freezer.
