The All Day Quease

As if my body were on the most spectacularly awful timer, my morning sickness, or as I quaintly put, my ALL DAY queasiness started exactly on my 6 weeks mark. My body was tricky enough to fool me into thinking that I wasn't really feeling much of anything, as though I just had a case of sour stomach which did happen from time to time UN-pregnant. But after 4 straight days of the smell of my work cafeteria making me sick and multiple gagging episodes when brushing my teeth, I decided I must have a pretty awful case of morning sickness! I am actually supposed to deal with this until I am about 14 weeks? Meaning, 8 more weeks?? 2 months?! I love food, and just the thought of being queasy, makes me queasy! So...instead of giving up foods, which in large part I have for a solid and consistent diet of crackers, peanut butter, and milk when I can handle it (although this is subject to change as I am only 4 days in), I am on the quest to find the cureall of my morning sickness. Here's what I've found helps:
Crackers and peanut butter: Its a big wallop in a small package. And maybe its the consistency of peanut butter but I am inclined to feel as though it sticks to stomach and won't easily be uprooted in my next gagging episode.
Milk: It really does do a body good. I will randomly not be able to take milk, especially plain and with nothing to eat, but when I do have the stomach for it, I swear it was magical coating powers.
What I would like to try:
Candied Ginger. I WILL be stopping by Trader Joe's tomorrow.
Sea Bands. I know these are not edible, and honestly the acupressure hasn't exactly worked, but I'm desperate!
Its unfortunate how appropriate my last name now is.
