Hyperemesis Gravidarum diet

Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) is a severe form of morning sickness that affects pregnant women. It is characterized by persistent nausea, vomiting, and dehydration, which can significantly impact the quality of life for those experiencing it. While there is no specific diet that can cure HG, certain dietary modifications can help improve symptoms and provide some relief.



1. Small, frequent meals: Eating small, frequent meals throughout the day can help prevent an empty stomach, which can trigger nausea and vomiting. Opt for easily digestible foods like crackers, toast, or plain rice.



2. Stay hydrated: It is crucial to stay hydrated to prevent dehydration. Sip on fluids such as water, herbal teas, or clear broths throughout the day. If plain water is difficult to tolerate, try adding a slice of lemon or a splash of fruit juice for flavor.



3. Ginger: Ginger has long been used as a natural remedy for nausea. Consider incorporating ginger into your diet in various forms, such as ginger tea, ginger candies, or ginger ale. However, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider before using ginger supplements or extracts.



4. Avoid triggers: Identify and avoid foods or smells that trigger your symptoms. Common triggers include strong odors, spicy or greasy foods, caffeine, and certain food textures. Keeping a food diary can help you identify specific triggers to avoid.



5. Vitamin B6: Some studies suggest that vitamin B6 supplementation may help alleviate nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. Talk to your healthcare provider about the appropriate dosage and whether it is suitable for you.



6. Rest and relaxation: Stress and fatigue can worsen HG symptoms. Ensure you get enough rest and practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or prenatal yoga to help manage stress levels.



7. Seek professional help: If your symptoms are severe and impacting your daily life, it is essential to seek professional help. Your healthcare provider may recommend medications or other interventions to manage HG symptoms and improve your quality of life.



Remember, every individual's experience with HG is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. It is crucial to consult with your healthcare provider or a registered dietitian who specializes in prenatal nutrition to develop a personalized diet plan that suits your specific needs.

If it stays down, eat/drink it! If if doesn't, stay away from it!

I'm told eating little and often helps but this was not the case for me, in cases which some women can tolerate good dry crackers rice etc are recommended it's also best to stay away from greasy food with strong smells, bland foods are the best

Honestly, I ate whatever I was able to keep down. It didn't matter if it was healthy or fast food. Whatever stays down and doesn't come up horribly was my diet.

There is no specific diet that will alleviate HG symptoms.

Yes its worth trying and of course ther is a whole lot of informatio out here but remember to check with your OBGYN on these diets and remedies.
i would suggest frozen food and fruits ice lollies freezits as silly as this sound it helped me a lot... i would avoid vomitting on my way from the doctor (only time i would go outside) by eating a slushy or freezit or iced water,
avoid greasy food,spicy fppd try bland foods it worked for me,
cracker and toast or other dry foods help others as for me it did not work,
trial and error women are differnt go to what you crave for the most and see if it works too becasue hunger and thirst makes you weak... remember not to force yourself, you may ernd up vomiting more.
