    My wife has to eat a snack with her medicine she takes before bed or she gets nauseas. I have struggled to find an alternative to goldfish because I agree, it’s garbage. Any thoughts?

      What is a goldfish (beside a fish, I mean)? If you mean an alternative to snack, has she tried fresh fruits (an apple, pear, a few grapes,…) or maybe things like nuts? The idea being to no eat heavily processed food at all and not too much of anything. If she is not into fresh fruits (that would be sad), at worst I would suggest a slice of fresh bread (here again not the industrial hyper-processed kind of bread, real bread) with something, maybe a little jam?

        Yes, bread might not be a bad idea. Or an English muffin or something. Fruit is high on glucose and doesn’t sit well right before bed. Longer digestive carbs seem to help more. I was thinking maybe rice cakes too.

          Oh, thx a lot!

          I must admit I don’t know much about those kind of snacks but I would be surprised a doctor would suggest to eat those with any kind of medication.

      I’ve had great luck with rice cakes, unsalted pretzels, or natural peanut butter on toasted bread of some sort.
