Lifestyle and home remedies
By Mayo Clinic staffPeople with cyclic vomiting syndrome generally need to get adequate sleep. Once vomiting begins, it may help to stay in bed and sleep in a dark, quiet room.
When the vomiting phase has stopped, it's very important to drink water and replace lost electrolytes. Some people feel well enough to resume normal eating immediately, while others need to start with clear liquids and then graduate up to solid food.
