Chucking Up/Sea-sick Remedies?!

[Col.Maniac]

I used to be sea sick, didnt take drugs due to diving and not good for you, was told to drink a pint of milk and eat as much white bread as possible 1 hr or so before getting on the boat.
I have tried this and wasnt sea sick, as the milk neturlizes the acid in your gut and the bread soaks up all the nasties in there .  Tell him hes got to keep going on boats eventually he will get over it . As every one is different  a good breakfast before hand can help, avoid coffee this made me really bad

Stugeron, same for me tried Qwells, useless.
Don't forget to take the Stugeron well before you get on the boat.

[Jules]

another thing to try is porridge. it sets solid in your guts and works treat. Dunno if they do in T'egypt though.

Andy the commie , might have known that you would know the answer thus proving that you can always be relied up on to give a straight answer to a straight question. I think you did win that poll didnt you??

Sturgeron, qwells or nibbling on a ginger nut &nbsp;

I try and skip the lunches cos they give me wicked heartburn on the afternoon dives.

Another vote for Stugeron here. My problem isn't the rocking of the boat it's the smell of the diesel - a good lungful of that and I'll honk for England (if you'll excuse the venacular) but I find the Stugeron helps prevent me from actually being sick.

I managed to get through an entire day in Anglesey on Scott's boat in Anglesey though the last time without anything

Ginger is really good, especially the crystalised stuff, and I find that avoiding some of the richer/spicier Egyptian lunch items to be an advantage too.

HTH,

Noel

Added: Oh, and tell them to drink plenty of water.
