don't know if these are available where you are but the vietnamese groceries here have candied ginger, which I like a lot. Basil is also supposed to be good for stomach problems. I think you'd tave to actually eat entire leaves, not just sprinkle dried stuff on your food. There is also an RX you can get for nausea, whose name escapes me at the moment as I do not often have the problem badly enough or long enough to talk to a doctor about it. When my stomach *is* upset I usually eat bland foods such as icecream, crackers or bread. These would not work for you if you had a dairy or gluten tolerance problem; that's just what I do.
