NAUSEA

I've had another episode.  This one was not raisinette related, or any food for that matter it was smell related. 

Luckilly I had a sturdy cup in the car this time. 

Since this seems to only occour in public anyone have any suggestions on what I can keep in the car or purse to help?  I never actually vomit, I just get really nauseated.  I can't do peppermint cause it makes me physically ill  (always has)

Hi QT!

I suggest seeking the underlying cause of the nausea. 

I gather that previously it was a forbidden food, but in general, if you get this out of nowhere, it could be zinc, B vitamin, or multi-vitamins that slightly upset your stomach, making it easy for even a scent to trigger nausea.

I hope this situation improves for you! 

Honney,  I got home from the Hospital Thursday after having such a wonderful surgery. And dayum Friday  got NAUSEA about 2:00.  I had only hd my fluids and took my vitimins.  I had to go to the ER.  It would not let up.  They gave me all kinds for drugs and nothing touched it.  I finally got better about 2AM Saturday.  They kept me for testing.  Nothing.  The only thing I did was do #2.  I don't know if that was the problem.  but, I was glad as hell it went away finally.

I hope you feel better. Certain smells (like old chicken grease ) will set me off. Hopefully you and your surgeon will get down to the bottom of this.

Hey QT..sorry to hear about ur nausea..especially it happening at an inopportune time.  Too bad you cant do the peppermint - that helps me.  I know Ginger helps with nausea.  But I would definitely talk to the dr about taking prilosec or nexium; that also helps me.  Try saltines..there are low fat, fat free, low or no sodium saltines.  Or your dr may need to prescribe anti-nausea medicine.  Let me know what helps!

I got a script for...I am sure your doc would write a script for you being that the episodes are frequent

I take nausea medicine.....it is such a bad feeling....I can get nauseated from food or scent....I have two underlying illnesses that causes my nausea: gastric ulcer and low blood pressure....when my pressure drops I get so damn nauseated.

I say consult your PCP....unless you know you are expecting....have migraines...or other illnesses that cause you to be nauseated, frequent nausea is not common.

I am currently battling this on a daily basis. This is not a fun feeling. Sometimes I vomit sometimes I dont. I was just prescribed meds. So hopefully that will help.

I get this too.  I'm a migraine sufferer but I've been really nauseated this week.  I heard that ginger is really good since you can't do peppermint.  I also found that carbonation would help before surgery.  Now I can't tolerate any carbonation whatsoever.

Hi QT,

Sorry this is troubling you.  Could it be your gall bladder? Seems like I've heard that can make

you nauseated ...... I don't know   

Anyway I hope you get to the bottom of this and feel better soon .
