The goal is to get the SN through the stomach into the intestines. Any nausea seems to come from the SN in the stomach.

I'm wondering if it wouldn't be helpful to eat a small amount of oil (MCT oil, olive oil, etc.) in the hours leading up to CTB to provide a thin layer of protection in the stomach?

The Suicide Wiki ( https://web.archive.org/web/20210912075803/https://suicide.wiki/index.php?title=Sodium_Nitrite ) says:

"In order to prevent vomiting in suicide attempts, dopamine blockers are used. The reasons for doing so is that the mechanism by which sodium nitrite induce nausea and vomiting are iron overload as well as NO interaction with dopaminergic neurotransmitters (Liu, Liang & Soong, 2019)."

So I don't think SN makes you nauseous by irritating the stomach. I don't think a small amount of oil would do any harm either, though.
