The engine's running right under the back, and if you have a sensitive stomach, that vibration can trigger some serious nausea. Also, before heading out—say, in the afternoon before a trip—stick to dry snacks. If you're going for fruit, bananas are fine, but stay away from grapes or apples. And maybe skip the coffee too. Personally, my digestive system acts up even in a car, though nothing major; I just pull over somewhere quiet in nature and deal with it... 🤣
If this is all psychological, you could probably eat a bar of dark chocolate and get the same result. It used to happen to me years ago whenever I had to ride my motorcycle to work. Probably just the adrenaline or the nerves. Eventually, it just went away on its own.
I wouldn't suggest relying solely on a sedative if that’s the only issue you're facing.
My sister gets this every single time she drives into the city (she's 20 and a great driver, so it's not like she's nervous or anything), she always has to find a restroom halfway through the trip.
You aren't alone in this!
