Funny thing is that when I'm barfy I just want to eat regular food,
and then I will it to stay down. Fairly straightforward for me, but
not helpful for normal folks, for whom it all depends on whether you
still like the taste of food (okay, Dave, on the way down). If you're
in dire straits, beef tea and milquetost give plenty of nutrition
while not invoking your average gag response.

We used to use Coke syrup when I was a kid. It's just a big hit
of caffeine and sugar, but for some people it does the trick.

Ginger especially. Garlic is fine except when it repeats on you.
