Its the ginger in gingerale that helps - problem is that these days many 
gingerales dont actually use real ginger - its artificial and so it doesnt 
help. You can buy ginger tablets from the pharmacist and they really do help 
with nausea.

I do believe that the carbonation can also help - especially if the problem 
is due to gas or is producing some gas. But its small amounts - just a few 
sips, not drinking bottles of the stuff :-))

The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved.
