Dietary modifications can substantially improve tolerance: Eat smaller, more frequent meals rather than large portions Avoid high-fat, greasy, or spicy foods that may exacerbate nausea Choose bland, easily digestible foods during the adjustment period (toast, rice, bananas, plain chicken) Stay well hydrated with small sips of water throughout the day Avoid lying down immediately after eating Identify and avoid personal trigger foods that worsen symptoms Additional practical strategies include: Ginger tea may help some patients, though evidence specifically for GLP-1-related nausea is limited (discuss with your healthcare provider if taking anticoagulants or antiplatelets) Eating dry crackers or toast before getting out of bed if morning nausea is problematic Ensuring adequate ventilation and avoiding strong odours that may trigger nausea Gentle physical activity, such as short walks after meals, to aid digestion If lifestyle measures prove insufficient, your GP may consider prescribing anti-emetic medications for short-term use during the adjustment period
