Not only is it one of my favorite U2 songs, but I recently looked up - and only because I was absolutely desperate - tried this remedy for nausea:
Suck on slices of fresh lemon sprinkled with salt
Yes, it makes your face contort in a manner that has your "supportive" husband making fun of you AND tastes vaguely like the lemon-flavored Sour Patch kids candy (not a bad thing in my book). But, I swear, try 2 or 3 of these slices of goodness when you are feeling at your lowest and it gives you some temporary relief.
Word of caution: remedy does not work when you are starving and therefore caught in a cycle of nausea and low blood sugar. It just makes you retch more quickly.
Any other tried and true remedies out there?

no remedies to offer really. have you tried ginger-ale? it always seems to soothe my tummy.
Along the same lines - lemon flavored frozen fruit bars. Saved my life a couple times.
Thanks for that tip! Always good to know how to get rid of nausea!
Sounds yummy - even without nausea!
Ginger ale, crystalized ginger, lime popsicles
Sorry, no help here. I was always fortunate that I never got m/s, (maybe that was a sign, hmmm...)
Good luck though!
This isn't a tip for nausea, but it's lemon-related. I found that the only thing I can take my pre-natals with that covers the taste is lemonade. And even then, the size of them give me issues.
Have you seen that Metro Mint water they have?
I loved that stuff! I couldn't drink a whole bottle of it, but always kept a few (in peppermint) on hand to sip when the nausea came on, and it always made me feel better :-)
