Suzie,
ONE word......PHENERGEN! (yes I know it is prescription sorry) It works better then anything. If your doc gives you 25 mg tabs you can break them in half and just take 12 1/2 mg (childs dose) and it will settle your stomach without knocking you out as bad. Good luck. Oh yeah you could also try saltines and 7 up or sprite.
Hugs,
Katy
