Can apple stop vomiting?
My daughter is feeling very nauseous and has vomited a couple of times. My mother always gives her a grated apple when she feels sick. Does eating an apple actually help to stop vomiting?

An apple won't actively stop vomiting like a proper antiemetic medicine does, but applesauce can be very easy on the stomach once the vomiting has paused. Since it's bland and has pectin, it helps bind things. Just wait until you've stopped throwing up for at least an hour before trying to eat anything.

Oh, when I am throwing up, eating a whole apple is the last thing I can manage! But actually, my mom used to give me a little bit of boiled and mashed apple (like applesauce) once my stomach settled. It is really light and doesn't trigger the nausea again, so maybe try that instead of raw apple.

Vomiting is so physically exhausting and honestly, it makes me feel so helpless and weak. When my stomach is that upset, even the smell of food makes me cry. Please don't force yourself to eat apples or anything right now if your body is rejecting it, just focus on tiny sips of water.

Yes, eating raw apple can be tough on an upset stomach. Try simple electrolyte water or ginger tea first to calm down the vomiting sensation.

My 8-year-old was vomiting continuously last month, and the doctor told us not to give any solid fruit like raw apple initially because it is hard to digest. We gave him small sips of ORS first, and then slowly introduced plain stewed apple. It really helps restore their energy safely without upsetting the tummy again.
