If one other person....

I know this has been said in the forum over and over again, but if one more person tells me to eat saltines before I get out of bed in the morning I am going to scream. So you hear a loud screaching sound where ever you are you will know it was me. You might even be able to her me if for some reason you are visiting Jupiter.

I asked my family and friends to look at this site, and get educated, but noooo all I hear is "try crackers before you even get out of bed" UGGGG!!

OK the vent is done and I feel a little better now.

So sorry! I heard many versions of this too. Do people actually think we haven't tried everything imaginable and that saltines just never crossed our minds?

for all of them!

CRACKERING MAKES ME ANGRY!!!!!

[dmiller]

before I started geetting sick with my first, my best friend told me i would always need toi make sure i eat crackers right when i wake up. I was like why- i feel fine. I thought i was going to have a morning sickness free pregnancy

two weeks later i was in the hospital - and no crackers did not help.

I told her you have to enjoy torture to eat crackers when you wake up - it hurts and taste horrible coming up

maybe she is the type that likes the whips and chains - oh i didnt say that

actually my friend was really good to me - after she found out what i had- but was still kinda funny

Yeah I know people are just trying to be helpful and supportive. But, I guess in this emotional state it is easy to get angry - even at really good friends. I keep saying - but I don't have morning sickness and "food" in general no matter what it is makes me puke. Then they say but have you tried..... Now didn't I just say that it is "all" food.

Well, except for potatoes lately. OMG, I still just want to scream!

I always told people that it is hard to eat crackers on the bathroom floor, since I often fell asleep there after puking in the middle of the night. That usually stopped people from telling me "try this." I still got the odd few that insisted that there was some miracle cure that I HAD to try before the drugs that were making me medicated-fluffy.

I hear ya! Everytime I go in for IV infusion at the day clinic the nurse brings me *FOODMNT*sprite and saltines*ENDFDMNT* and rambles on about how I have to try to keep something down.

Soooo annoying!!! It made me so when someone said I know what you are going through (they vomited once during their pregnancy)! and crackers were the key, "you should try them"!!!!

I loved when the OB's office offered me crackers or pretzels! Hello!!! I have celiac disease! I was thinking, I know I haven't eaten anything, but that would just make me sicker!
