  • Title: Electrogastrograms during motion sickness in fasted and fed subjects.
    Author: Stewart JJ, Wood MJ, Wood CD.
    Journal: Aviat Space Environ Med; 1989 Mar; 60(3):214-7. PubMed ID: 2712799.
    Abstract:
    Seven human volunteers were subjected to stressful Coriolis stimulation (rotating chair) either during the fasted state or following the ingestion of yogurt (6 oz). Subjects tested after yogurt reached a Malaise-III (M-III) endpoint of motion sickness after significantly (p less than 0.01) fewer head movements than subjects tested in the fasted state. Surface electrogastrogram (EGG) recordings at M-III were similar for both dietary states and consisted of a brief period of tachygastria, followed by a period of low amplitude EGG waves. Ingestion of yogurt enhanced susceptibility to motion sickness but did not affect the associated pattern of EGG.
