I am experiencing a bad UC flare and the associated morning nausea has been debilitating. I have been missing a lot of work because I usually can't get going until around noon or later. I have lost a lot of weight because I only have an appetite later at night and also that is the only time I feel I can be productive so I don't get much done.
I have been taking Lialda (4 x 1.2g tabs/day) along with daily mesalamine (Perrigo) PM enemas and Uceris 9mg once a day, and I am still having frequent bloody, mucous-y diarrhea. I even had the joyous experience of crapping my pants Christmas morning. I am set to start Entyvio later this week but meanwhile I am desperate for help with my nausea so I can try to be a functioning adult. Luckily I am on vacation this week so I don't have to miss work, but it sucks because I can't even enjoy my time off.
I read other posts where people swear by ginger tea so I am about to order some on Amazon and I have tried OTC medicine such as Nauzene chewable which does help mildly. Unfortunately, I have a reaction to Zofran where it actually makes me more nauseous and I throw up almost immediately, and other prescription nausea medications make me fall sleep. (Seriously, I can't even keep my eyes open.) Besides the tea, are there any suggestions that might help? I need a ray of hope.
