Steps you can take to minimize or prevent CINV
Helpful lifestyle tips
- Use unscented deodorants, shampoos, and body lotions; discontinue perfumes and colognes, because chemo can make you more sensitive to certain scents
- When you need fluids or have a dry mouth but aren’t in the mood for drinking liquids, try popsicles
- Chemo can cause a bad taste in your mouth, so brush your teeth and tongue more than you might normally
Helpful eating tips
- Do not force yourself to eat when you are nauseated
- Eat several small meals throughout the day
- Take your time when you eat; chew slowly
- Avoid strong cooking odors; use the microwave to prevent odors
- Use plastic flatware and dishes to help
avoid metallic tastes - Cover your drinks and sip them through a straw
- Try not talking too much while eating so you can reduce the amount of air you swallow
- Avoid lying flat for at least 2 hours after eating; instead, rest upright in a chair
- Avoid stuffy or warm rooms
Helpful diet tips
- Skip sweet, fried, and fatty foods; use spices sparingly
- Eat comfort food such as casseroles and soups
- Eat high-protein and high-calorie foods that won’t upset your stomach
- Eat lots of fruits and vegetables, including frozen grapes and berries, which may help with some side effects
- Drink lots of clear, room-temperature fluids between meals rather than with food
Note: These tips don’t replace instructions from your doctor or nurse. It’s important to discuss your treatments in detail with your healthcare team.
