Anyone have nausea problems!

Hi everyone I am new to a forum on my disease! I have had uc for 8 years and have been struggling with severe nausea. I have had multiple tests done thinking it was my gallbladder and the tests showed it was not good but not bad enough to have surgery. It comes and goes and I was wondering if anyone else has had bad nausea and if anything helps. I also can not seem to find a way to eat like I should. Any help is appreciated!

Hi..welcome to the forum!

Yes, I have nausea, especially during the start of my flare. Apparently, it can be a symptom with limited low in the rectum inflammation with constipation, etc.

I do take Bentylol (Bentyl -- dicyclomine) which is an antispasmodic...it helps.
But...when I have those symptoms consistently over a few days with some rectal gas that kind of disappears in the rectum and isn't that easy to pass..I see that as a flare and start the retention enemas asap.

When you were diagnosed, did you have a c-scope or just a sig-scope?
How high is your UC limited to?

Regarding your gallbladder...what tests did you have and what exactly is the problem...stones?

Do you have nausea all day or just certain periods of the day?

Interesting. I'm also nauseous a lot. I've been attributing it to Lexapro.

It may be a long shot but you could try a food journal to see if you can find some kind of dietary cause.
I was having a lot of nausea in the morning which adds to the anxiety when leaving the house. Then I start to wonder if I'm nauseated because I'm anxious or the other way around...
Anyway, for some reason I decided to quit drinking coffee and the nausea is gone. I still drink tea so I haven't eliminated caffeine. I had one cup of coffee a few days ago and it made me feel terrible right away and then more nausea the next day. Now that I'm back to a cup of tea the nausea hasn't returned.

I thought I would miss the coffee more than I do, but I've learned to let go of the food stuff I used to enjoy and enjoy feeling better instead.

Sassyk...my son ALWAYS had nausea at the beginning of a flare. It usually passed as the flare got worse...weird??

What you could try is double the Canasa to using them in the morning and at night.

Regarding the nausea, maybe something ginger tea or anti-nausea tea preparations might help before bedtime.

It could also be reflux since you have it more at bedtime....taking a zantac an hour before bedtime might be the ticket.

I often wake up with nausea - early as 4 a.m.  Eating helps strangely enough.  The specialist I saw in Albany said it is a common complaint of those of us with IBS and UC.  Better when I don't eat before bedtime.  All three doctors I have been to told me to take pepto bismal - so that is my medication of choice.  Taking Prilosec before bedtime helps my GERD but not nausea early mornings.  I usually have sweating along with it.  Some doctors have suggested thyroid or menopause (even though I am 70) but all were negative!

i was actually nauseas this morning and almost threw up while sitting on the toilet!! i also felt really weak and got cold sweats and felt like i was about to pass out... i've been flaring since the beginning of the year off and on so i'm not sure if it's due to that or just my depression/anxiety over not getting better...
mkl11: can i ask u how u make your ginger ale and then candy the leftover pieces??
