Nausea is another digestion-related problem.
Children are especially prone to becoming nauseated while in a moving vehicle, probably because their inner ear structure is so small that the irregular swaying back and forth disturbs the fluid-filled canals in the middle ear. The ear tells the brain that the body is moving, but the eyes say that it isn't. This conflict of information confuses the brain and causes dizziness and nausea. That's why activities like reading or playing lap games while traveling can prompt motion sickness more easily than looking out the window. Nausea responds to a simple tea of peppermint , or even sucking on a peppermint candy.
