3. In general cold foods are better handled than hot foods during nausea. However if you love warm soups, go for it. But try and avoid chunky soups as that might need extra chewing and digestion.
4. Prefer dry snacks. Pick something very simple like a toast or crackers or try other healthy options like Flax Seed Shakarpara and Bajra Methi Khakhra.
