My nausea is getting worse. But I am finding it relieved by eating which makes me think that either my treatment or fibro in general is making my body use up a lot more calories than it normally does. I am eating regularly and just the same as I did a few weeks ago but my body really reacts positively to sugar now. I threw up a couple times a work yesterday but found that everything (body aches, malaise, nausea) felt 100 x better after I ate a peach. (And man, that peach tasted better than anything I had eaten in weeks including chocolate and steak!)

Has anybody else found this to be true?

I'm sorry you're feeling so bad, Anna. I can relate to nausea that's relieved by sugar. The foods that settle my gut are usually either sugary or salty, and starchy. They're the ones I reach for when I start getting the weak, shakey feeling I so hate, too.

Fruit is actually tricky for me with my IBS...I have to eat it along with something that sits easier, and usually peel it.

I can never get settled in a routine of taking any supplements. I try to stick to a multi, calcium, and magnesium, and have recently started with Mega-Red. But together or separately, they all seem to get my bowels in an uproar, and I'll quit again for a few days. My doctor says some people just can't take supplements :( and I'm starting to think I'm one of them...even though I know I need them, with my diet so limited by the IBS. It's a viscious circle.

Nausea can be medicine reaction, some for bowel issues, anxiety....

Are you having other digestive difficulties?

Also, when you mention blood sugar, I thought you meant drop or rise, as in diabetic. A peach is natural sugar, while chocolate is processed. Many people avoid processed sugars.

Occasionally I'll get a small wave of nausea and I, too, will get a little someing and it goes away.  It doesn't happen often.  Also, some days you might be burning more calories than you think.  A peach is a wonderful way to feel better.

Yah, Maryland peaches are so good. Everytime I go up to the orchard and get some, I end up eating them all.

Ah, the perfect fruit, and then you need a shower after.
