Thanks so much for your advice.

I am feeling 75% better right now than I've felt in the last 4-5 days. Here is what I figured out:

I did some yoga breathing to get through the nausea last night, which got me some good sleep.

I was drinking way too much water, way too fast. I started sipping today instead of drinking a glass at a time, and that has helped a lot.

I thought perhaps my electrolytes were off balance from the excessive water consumption. I took a long hot bath in Epsom Salts , and felt better right away.

Aside from the bath, I stayed in bed almost all day.

This evening I used deep breathing with peppermint for aroma therapy, and that alleviated almost all the rest of the nausea.

When I had short bouts of nausea at the beginning of my fast, they went away immediately when I had a bowel movement. It has been about a week and a half since I have felt the need to move my bowels, though. But today I spontaneously felt the need, and it helped right away. I will try the hot water the next time I'm feeling nauseous.
