Been living with UC for 5 years now...I think my docs finally geting my drugs tweeked right...down to 5-6 soft BM/day...less gas (thanks to now being on a lactose-free diet) and less cramping.  But the only lingering problem is still having nausea in the late afternoon/early evenings.  They last from 15 minutes to sometimes hours. Does anyone else have this problem?  So frustrating having this almost everyday especally when my gf and I want to go out and have dinner. 

5mg prednisone (hopfully taper to off)

50mg 6-mp

colazal 3 pills TID

cortenema at night

allopurinal QD (help with the 6-mp~ who knew?)

I wake up often early morning with nausea - have for years actually and before UC.  No one knows but think it is reflux and I take prilosec, etc. for that.  May be your medicaitons, when you taken them AND with or without food.

Yes, and no idea why. Can start around 2-4 pm. Not having it so much now, but I was during the last horrid flare. I was telling my wife I better eat before I start getting sick, lol. The only thing I could really think of is since most of my BM's were during the night and morning my colon may have been emptied out pretty good. Then as the day progressed food starting to hit it again, and with the flare I was in it was irritating my colon ALOT. Bodies response was the cramping and nausea.

Dr-A - maybe yours is "morning sickness" LOL!

Anyway, you are right when you say eat when you can.  Actually, if I wake up nauseated - eating helps.

I started getting nauseas after starting 6mp. I have it mostly in the mornings and I can't eat anything for nearly 2 hours upon waking or it makes me feel worse. When I first started 6mp, I also got that nausea feeling in the evenings but then I started on Prilosec and it's much better. Maybe try calling your GI and see if they can recommend something. Oh I almost forgot to mention but sometimes when I get nauseas in the evenings I drink decaf peppermint tea and it settles it down a bit.

I had a lot of nausea and vomiting, which I was told was due to the UC. However, since I still have it after surgery, apparently it's from something else and we have no idea what. :(

I have nausea, but it's not from meds. I've never been on 6MP, but it could be that and in conjunction with you tapering off pred.

You could ask the doc for some antinausea meds or antispasmodic meds. I use a half of a gravol (Dramamine) and Bentylol (dicyclomine) which is an antispasmodic..

When was the last time you had liver enzyme tests done?


It could also be from reflux or high acid in the stomach....a most likely culprit for you could be prednisone Are you on an acid reducing med such as zantac or ilk?

Thanks for the helps guys.......

     No not on any anti-acid drugs.  My last liver enzymes were normal except for my ASK whick is slightly elevated.  Was having the nausea before the prednisone...never threw up..just that and a slight headache.

I'm in the middle of a flare and I've had pretty bad nausea the last few days. I HATE that feeling. I take 1/2 a compazine or preggie pops to help ease it. Mine starts about 10am and lasts until about noon.
