I have noticed this past week especially that When I sit down to a meal about halfway through I have to wrap up my meal and put it in the fridge for later.  I am getting really nauseous.  If I go and eat a small thing like a slice of bread, a quesadilla (homemade just low fat extra sharp cheddar with some lactaid on the side) just a couple wedges of it I dont have that issue.  Tonight I sat down for some rice, cooked carrots and some ground beef I cooked in the frying pan and drained the grease 3 times.  Last night I had some noodles with my homemade sauce (no onions or other added veggies just canned tomato puree and had some baked chicken no seasoings on it ) I did all I could to eat a little than forget it the nausea comes on fast too.

Is this normal I have never been one who has had much vomiting through the years withexception of post op issues...for a while I would get sick every morning if I took my meds...tried to rotate meds to see if it could be pin pointed my doc opted to have my just take meds later in the day and had no issues past that unless I have a banana or a scope prep...

Last night when I had a BM the stool was really skinny like width of a straw when I went then this morning back to my normal loose stool that it looks like a cow patty.

Thoughts?

Nausea like that sounds to me like you are having some blockage/narrowing issues or it could be a gastritis type thing. I know you are having a lot of different things going on right now. It sounds like it is time to get in to see your GI and have a check up. The stress you are under is probably not helping, but seeing your doctor and getting things under control may actually help you deal with the stress because you won't be worrying about your health as much.

I lean more towards IBS or gastritis type thing. Have you ever thought about the possibility of needing something like a Prilosec type med. Many Crohnies especially those who have had surgeries get GERD alot, I do. It gives me similar symptoms that you are describing. But I also suffer with chronic nausea because of my resections and you might be having similar issues. Started on Prontonix and it has helped alot.

I also say IBS/gastritis because I do the same thing you describe with the thin poo one day and normal the next. Its usually diet related or stress related for me. I agree with Zanne, maybe you need to get a check up with your doc and rule out anything else.

Thanks for the help all, opting to make my homemade chicken soup for dinner tonght hopefully that wont be too bad. Ever since my surgeries things that wre just fine to eat i.e. bananas now come right back up I tried 2 since 07/08 and then I tried a bite of one last year and now I think it is one of those I cant even stand the taste of a fresh one without getting a little sick which is sad since that use to be a great snack for me. Liquids seem fine so maybe see about boost non dairy shakes They gave me the orange ones in the hosp they werent too bad and 100% dairy free (ensure says contains milk but ok for lactose intol, and have had to drink so much of that as a kid that it too came back up more than once).

Will def mention this to the doc looks like I may need to see him pre sept 15 now...ugh and I had been doing so well just goes to show you how badly stress can affect us but on a better note been trying to be a little more active. the other day I took a walk to the store (4 blocks away was a nice day out...granted I was wheezing from allergies later but felt good while i did it)

Glad you are thinking about calling the doctor. Where do you get the non dairy Boost though? Since my last resection, I have been having trouble with things that I used to be able to tolerate, one of them being Ensure. Not sure if the formula has changed (its been about 3 years since the last time I had some) or if its the surgery. But I have been looking for non-dairy supplements and have not been able to find any. I know I could get some from the hospital, but the only ones my hospital has are horrible.

See thats the thing. Stef I don't think you have fully figured out your body and diet since your last surgeries. Things change alot after each surgery and doesn't stay the same. I think you need to work out things dietwise etc, you will be able to better control your health. I stick to a very strict routine. Eating the same things all the time. Not the same everyday, but the same basic diet that I can mix up to be able to eat without it upsetting my stomach all the time.
