midasman7 Posted February 12, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Wife has trouble with patch (coming OFF it) On last cruise we heard about green apples for sea sickness, but missed the details. Do you eat before cruise, or wait until the rock & roll starts?? Anyone with exp. on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStarbrite Posted February 12, 2011 #2 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Don't know about green apples, but ginger works great. You can get caps, candied ginger or pickled ginger. I use the caps. No side effects and you can pop them like candy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudder Posted February 12, 2011 #3 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Not sure about seasickness but apples work to settle an upset stomach or if you have acid reflux. Not just green apples but almost all apples work for me. Good luck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you start to feel queezy, just eat an apple or even soda crackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtdlmc Posted February 12, 2011 #7 Share Posted February 12, 2011 You could probably get the ginger candy at a health food store or maybe even a bulk food store, but you'd be best to try it first if you were gonna go that way. What I tried was horrid (it was real candied ginger) - I wasn't nauseated before trying it but sure was after! I got the capsules at Walmart in the same section as Gravol.

golfadj Posted February 14, 2011 #9 Share Posted February 14, 2011 On the route to Panama several years ago we went thru a very rough patch and for the first time in about 20 cruises I felt seasick. I was told to have a green apple with crackers. I did it and did not seem to be of much help but must say did not feel any worse either so it might have helped somewhat.

celticd1 Posted February 14, 2011 #10 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Green apples have worked for me twice while feely queazy onboard. I ate them after I was feeling sick and it worked great! Queasiness was gone within 1/2 an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMM34667 Posted February 14, 2011 #11 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Google Susan Snaps. Intended to help with the nausea of cancer patients. We sent some to a cousin going through Chemo. She reported that no only did they help, but there were yummy! I would think if one tends to get seasick, it could help them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlyn Posted February 14, 2011 #12 Share Posted February 14, 2011 You can get candied ginger in the spice aisle in Wal Mart. I thought it tasted good. It helped with my seasickness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lroche_nf Posted February 14, 2011 #13 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Ginger works great for nausea (candied ginger, ginger tea, ginger ale). I also find plain old saltines do wonders for me. Always have something in your stomach. Nausea on an empty stomach isn't pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd stick with ginger capsules or candy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheatengirl Posted February 15, 2011 #18 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I use sea bands. You wear them on your wrists on the pressure points. They work really well for me and for another friend that we cruise with. You can get them at walmart or target for under 10.00 bucks and they last for years.

ehfl Posted February 15, 2011 #19 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Whatever you take, must be taken before your stomach gets upset. If you're stomach is already upset, then the lower opening will close tight. Anything you eat will just sit in your stomach, and not go to your intestines, until you throw it up. If you're already seasick, it's best not to take anything at that point. It won't help, and will eventually be thrown up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanWeGoYet? Posted February 15, 2011 #20 Share Posted February 15, 2011 The green apples helped me, more than once, on rough sea days where I had pulled out all the sea sickness remedies I had ( bonine, patch, ginger). They may have helped but I still felt awful. Ate a green apple on the advice of waiter & cabin steward, and my nausea was much relieved. If I'm feeling queasy, I have found eating a small amount of something not too rich will help. Having my stomach empty when there is motion - plane, auto if I'm not driving, ship - is never a good thing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
