Hey
i'm 18 and i'v been suffering daily nausea
for about 4months now and my doc can't
find what is causing it. I'v had
ultrasounds, endoscopies, over 30 blood
tests and tried loads of medications (most
of which I have side effects of) but I
recently discovered how to reduce my
nausea to a tolerable level.
Now I take pepto-bismol (from boots) about
6 times a day, it tastes and looks
revolting but works really well. I also
take a peppermint supplement which calms
your stomach reducing the sensation of
nausea. I'v also found that wearing
travel sickness band work quite well to.
Hope this gives you some ideas and please
do share any other methods with me xxx

I'm 17 and and what had loads of blood
tests, ultrasound, endoscopy. I suffer
with very bad nausea. My bowels are also
over the place at the min and i'm under a
lot of stress with operations etc, but my
doctor has pput me on meds for my bowel
and acid reflux. My symptoms are nausea,
heartburn, feeling of food trapped in back
of throat. I've also tried the
travel-sickness bands, I think they work
to some degree, but don't fully take the
nuasea away. I've had loads of
auti-sickness tablets too. I'll get these
acid reflux meds tomorrow and see what
happens.

Hey
you should try the pepto bismol as it is
also for heartburn as well as nausea.
I usually get a wierd feeling in the back
of my throat, not like theres food stuck
in it, but like its really swollen but my
doc says it isn't, it also feel like my
stomach is really full even if I haven't
eaten a thing.
Anyway I hope your acid reflux tablets do
the trick for you

Same Problems Posted: 07-26-06 20:30pm
I've seemed to have the same problems as
well. Everytime I eat I feel the nausea
coming on. I've been to many different
doctors and had all the tests you can name
done and all of them found nothing. And
as other people have said no one seems to
understand how difficult this all is.
I've tried using pepto as suggessted and
it has helped although I don't know if
using it for prolonged periods of time is
healty? The nausea is terrible and i've
tried a few different things to try to
help. Sucking on a mint or ice seems to
work the best right now but it doesn't
help fully. Any input would be great
thanks.

I'm going through the same thing. For the
last 3, almost 4 years. Unexplaiined
chronic nausea. Def. Worse when I eat.
Though its much more manageable now.
While you are on the road to figuring out
what you have....Try ginger caplets. Not
pepto or gravol. Go to the health food
shop and get ginger caplets. They work
wonders when ur feeling sick.

Bad Nausea For 8 Months Now And No One Knows Whats Wrong! Posted: 12-19-07 13:15pm
I am 21 years old..very young for this
kind of condition.
I have been suffering with constant nausea
and vomiting since May of 07. I am on 1200
mg of prescription Zantac and 900 mg of
Tigan (nausea relief pills) and nothing
seems to work. I am not pregnant. I have
woken up every morning for the past 8
months throwing up stomach acid. (Dark
yellow bile) When I try to eat something I
throw it back up. The Tigan helps some and
marijuana helps a lot to keep the
excruciating nausea under some what
control.
Test done:
5/22/07 EGD (normal)
5/24/07 Gastro Empty (normal)
6/27/07 PH test (didn’t complete because
there was no way we were getting that tube
down my nose!)
7/16/07 Bravo (could not sedate me) the
doctors wont try again on me.
9/27/07 UGI-SBF *Upper GI Series
(deglutition and esophageal motility are
normal. The GE Junction is unremarkable.
No signs or gastric masses or active
ulcers and mucosa seems Intact. * Small
Bowel Follow Through (preliminary
abdominal film is unremarkable. Small
bowel is normal. No intrinsic or extrinsic
masses are suggested.
I do have irregular food habits because of
my nausea and i do skip quite a few meals
but when i feel like i can keep it down i
try to eat all day so my stomach will have
something on it. I dont eat oily or spicy
food it kills me along with alcohol. I do
feel bloated like i cant eat anymore.
Bowel movements are ok.
It is very debilitating and hard to go
through the day. I also feel the same way
as zenaleigh does.
“But some how they gotta help it go
away. It’s getting to the point where I
can’t eat. Everything I eat or drink
causes nausea.” This is the truth! What
could be causing this? The three
specialists I have seen don’t know what
to do for me. So they referred me to MUSC
(medical university of South Carolina) to
see a specialist there. Can anyone give me
any kind of advise???

I'm soo glad I'm not the only one feeling
these symptoms! I am also 21-I'm
nauseous most of my life (and not stressed
out/anxious about anything except the
nausea itself) and it interferes with the
things I want to do way more than it
should. It all started about 8 months ago
all of a sudden. I have had occassional
other symptoms like lightheadedness and
weakness in one or more limbs, but most of
the time it's just nausea. The severity
is different every day. Some days (like
today) it's so debilitating that I can
barely leave the house, and other days
it's almost non-existant. I just wish
there was someone who knows what's wrong
with me so I can fix it and get on with my
life! I'm tired of not wanting to go
places for fear of throwing up all over
everything!
Does anyone know what this could be??

Nausea Posted: 08-26-08 09:52am
Hello,
I am 23 and also have had a similar issue.
For the past 15months i have had constant
ongoing nausea which won't go away. It has
taken a real hold on my life and gets me
down. Some days are worse than others but
it never goes away.
I dont seem to have other symptons other
than heat at the back of the throat and
burping, but other than this its just the
nausea. 15 months ago i was very active,
social and happy, but now I am the
opposite.
If anybody out there has been through this
and beaten it or knows what it is please
get in touch. The doctors and specialists
have not found a cause, i fail to believe
it is a mental cause and hate living like
this.
