Sorry to hear it got you too!!
I just try and go for little and often, don't let yourself get hungry as it makes it worse - hence why first thing in the morning is bad for most people.
I try and eat whatever I fancy at that moment in time, things like icecream and yoghurts seem to stay down, and avoid anything with a strong smell.
Lots of people swear by full fat coke - just a few sips now and then - I agree it works quite well, but the ginger biscuit thing does not work for me.
Keep us posted with how you go
