Relief from morning sickness

One of my best friends has just found out she is pregnant with her 3rd child and has suffered from all day morning sickness throughout her whole pregnancies and this one so far has been the same.
She can’t take the wafers as they are expensive and she goes through too many.
Are there any suggestions from anyone who has suffered from this so I can give her some options please!

Honestly, if she's bad enough for drs to prescribe Zofran wafers there's no tips or tricks that'll help that won't be a huge waste of money and chances are she's tried it all already.
(I've been there, done it, 3 times, nothing works).

My advice, get a prescription for Zofran and use it sparingly when absolutely necessary. I know it's expensive but you've got to be able to function! Also, keep hydrated, avoid dairy, anything highly acidic, processed, spicy or garlicky (garlic still triggers me to this day 😂). Snack on plain crackers or plain salted chips, eat frequently but small amounts (allowing yourself to get really hungry/empty will make you feel worse). Also, make sure your iron levels are good, becoming anaemic on top of hellish morning sickness is torture!

I do hope your friend can find some relief, it is debilitating.
