Ways to Reduce Nausea
Posted: 06-27-06 07:44am

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! Shocked 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! Embarassed Does anyone know what this could be?? scared

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.
