When I was going through chemo it was a challenge to find a food I could tolerate and one that might help me feel a little less sick to my stomach. I did find there were certain foods if I juiced them it helped take the edge off of the chemo side effects.
What foods settle your stomach?
Ginger
Ginger origins for soothing stomach issues date back 1000s years to Southeast Asia. According to PubMed.gov ginger contains bioactive compounds, such as gingerol, paradol, and shogaol, which are thought to interact with your central nervous system and stomach to improve nausea symptoms
It’s safe and effective which especially important if you are pregnant or going through cancer treatments.

Bone broth
Warm broth can be soothing when you don’t feel good. A good quality bone broth made from chicken or beef bones can be a good choice.

Chamomile is considered a safe plant and has been used in many cultures for stomach pains and as a mild sedative. A cup of chamomile tea can help relax your digestive tract and ease symptoms of nausea.

A chemical in turmeric called curcumin can help fight the inflammation, bacteria, and viruses behind your queasiness. Plus, turmeric’s phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals combine to make antioxidants that support healthy brain chemistry, which can ease the mental causes of nausea like stress and anxiety. (2)
Grapefruit
The sweet-sour taste of the ruby red grapefruit can help ward off waves of nausea while the fiber content of the fruit can help settle the stomach. If your friend complains of morning sickness, try to ship grapefruit juice to her and ask her to drink a glass together with a light breakfast. (3)
