Do you have Kennelog for the ulcers?
It is the best stuff, but sets like cement on the ulcer, so best used at night, clears them up very quickly. Use a different ulcer medication during the day if you need to.
Are you rinsing your mouth 4 times a day with the bicarbonate solution?
I used it religiously and only had one ulcer the whole time, but others have not been so lucky.
Glad you finally have something that helps the nausea.
I found ginger ale and ginger beer helped settle my stomach a bit, as well as small meals, not drinking a lot on an empty stomach.
Others have suggested ginger gummy bears.
Drinking Sustagen when I really didn't want to eat anything, and tea.
I was not a tea drinker before, but a nice cup of tea was quite soothing to the stomach.
Each day should get better, and the next dose could be quite different again, and you will be better at managing it too.
