There'll Be No Space Shuttle Rides for This Girl!

Since my recently-acquired stomach problems ave been only exacerbated by my recent bouts with acute tummy trouble, I have become more and more susceptible to motion sickness. I even feel sick in the elevator at work, now! So, I wanted to find out if there was anything easy I could change in my diet or something, to keep from feeling barfy all the time. I have dramatically altered my diet since getting sick last month, already.

I found the following list of risk factors for motion sickness on one site:

The following are the most common risk factors for motion sickness:
Riding in a car, boat, airplane, or space shuttle
Age—children between the ages of 2 and 12 are most at risk; occurrence of motion sickness declines with age (this is probably due to behavioral changes and coping strategies rather than anything inherent in the aging process)
Susceptibility to nausea or vomiting (well, duh, thought Danielle!)
Heightened level of fear or anxiety
Exposure to unpleasant odors
Poor ventilation
Spending long hours at a computer screen
Being outside of the earth's gravitational force

I must do as much as possible to remain inside of the earth's graviational force from here on out, let me tell 'ya!!!
