Foods to avoid when you have motion sickness: Beginning a day or two (2) days before your trip, avoid heavy foods.

Avoid fried, greasy or fatty foods. Fats only contribute to nausea and stomach upset. If you are going on a vacation, you may be in a celebratory mood.

Resist the temptation to drink even a little alcohol, because it is dehydrating and it can negatively affect the inner ear. Many people change their diets when they travel, but if you are subject to motion sickness, this is not the best time to try new foods or to indulge yourself with treats.
