Drinking a baking soda solution when you’re nauseous may not be the best option if you have high blood pressure or heart, liver or kidney disease, per the Mayo Clinic. It may also not mix well with certain cancer and other medications, so check with your doctor before trying the drink. You should also avoid peppermint if you have acid reflux, as it may worsen your symptoms, per Mount Sinai. Talk to your doctor before trying a capsule — especially if you’re pregnant — to make sure it’s safe for you.

Almonds and related products like almond milk or extract can make you sick if you have a food intolerance or allergy, per the Mayo Clinic. That’s because food allergies can trigger your immune system to produce high levels of histamines, which can cause symptoms like upset stomach, itching or trouble breathing. So if almond milk makes you nauseous, it may be best to sip a nut-free drink like oat milk instead. For others, it helps to eat almonds or drink almond milk for nausea from pregnancy, a hangover or even after the flu because these foods are bland and high in protein, which can help nourish you without further irritating your stomach, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Cold, liquid foods like smoothies made with plain Greek yogurt are soothing to eat after throwing up.
