Feeling sick :(

What foods do people find easier to stomach when they feel sick? The medication I'm taking is making me feel really queezy, but I can't stop taking it, or at least really don't want to unless absolutely necessary. I can up the dose of the tablets I take to counteract the side effects, but I can only do that after seeing someone at the hospital, and I can't do that for a week and a half And I have two more exams next week, and a bucket load of revision to do, and I feel rubbish! I know I'm feeling worse because I'm not eating much until tea time most days, but I just can't stomach much before that. So, does anyone find any foods easier to eat when feeling sick? I had a piece of toast for breakfast this morning, but really had to force it down, and for lunch I only managed a bit of yoghurt and a banana. And I need my energy to revise :crying:

like felix said, ginger is great. maybe nibble on some ginger biscuits, or toast with ginger jam on.
bananas and boiled rice are also easy on your stomach.
Stay away from carbs. But add sugar in drinks for energy.
Most of the stuff you will be throwing up, will be foods with complex carbs.
Eat a little at a time, rather than in 1 go.
Fizzy drinks may help, but if the side effects are intolerable, seek advice. It may be better for you to stop the medication.

stress. plus exams are usually in the winter. which makes everything worse.
If u want meat, try stick to chicken as its easier to digest and less heavy feeling.
Ginger and peppermint can often help stop nausea. try a home remedies book or something for ideas other than more medication!
Good look with your exams!
