Nauseous! UGH!

Hey all,

Well, week two and back in the 4 mild flare. As of Friday of last week I am on Lialda (4/day). Sometimes after I go, I get SO nauseated and it last for a while. THIS BITES! Wonder why? Anyone out there experience the same thing? What do you take for it? I just started eating crackers and or a slice of bread and just hang in there and wait for it to pass. I don't think its bad enough for more meds and doesn't happen EVERY time but when it does, those times it just stays with you. Then you don't want anything to eat.

AND....

Bad taste in mouth that doesn't away...think this may be from the meds? Gross. Brush teeth, still there. I know we can't have sfree candy or gum (gum will cause gas). Then is there ANYTHING we can try? Guess maybe breath spray. Just thought of that. Hmm?!

Hope you all have a good day and God Bless!

Nausea can be one symptom of mild inflammation in the rectum. Are you a bit constipated or feel any discomfort in your rectum while having a bm?

Flossing your teeth twice daily is a good thing.

Brush your tongue and use a tongue scraper afterward.

Change your toothbrush every month.

Dry mouth will cause bad breath...and that can be caused from sinus issues, reflux and medications.

Drink enough water during the day. You could try sinus rinses every morning before brushing teeth.

Do you still have your tonsils? they can build up tonsil stones that can be released during brushing and gargling.

Toothpastes aren't created equally in my mouth....some cause more bad breath than relieve it.

Hope this helps.

Tammy-

Ive been through 2 really bad, bad flares in the past few years that were accompanied by heinous nausea. The first time around, I could only vomit to assuage the feeling... soon however that didn't work even despite self-gagging.. this was really pretty difficult. Anyway, medical marijuana helps to a degree, and hot showers.

I didn't know about the hot shower trick until late in the first bad escapade so suffered through it, on the latest, I showered after each toilet trip... had to. Im talking like 8x a night...

We are in a severe drought so I felt terrible, but tried to limit them as much as possible. I can't even describe to people how rough those spells were.. just amazing.

Try the hot shower thing, and maybe save some water when you're feeling better. Hope that helps.

Quincy... good call! Tonsil stones are very real and so gross, I wish they didn't exist. My doctor told me if they became too bothersome to tell her about it. I don't know what that means but they do make for some nasty tastes, unfortunately.
