Hi,

My issues started back in March where I had awful nausea that wouldn't go away.  I was put on a PPI for a week (tecta), which helped but then the nausea returned along with stomach pains and burning.  Since then, I am dealing with daily nausea (and have been back on the tecta since April).  As I stil have nausea, I spoke to my GP and we are now trying Lansoprazole to see if it helps any better.

Most of you talk about burning and pain.  Anyone's main issue nausea?  And if so, do you take a PPI (if so, which one)?  What else helps?

Have you tried an anti nausea med along with the PPI? I would ask about it.

Take care,
Bill

I have been given something for the nausea, but it doesn't do much (which is ironic since the prescription says that its to help nausea from chemotherapy so you would expect it to be powerful stuff).

Yes, nausea was always my main symptom and morning nausea in particular. Taking the ppi at night made a big difference. Gaviscon seems to make it worse! I've found the herb milk thistle helps too. The other thing that had a big impact on my nausea is acupuncture. My nausea is related to reflux I think, hence needing the ppi at night.

PS: have you been tested for Helicobacter ?

Thanks mudmagnetmum,  Do you still have nausea?  I've had it daily for 4 months now, and don't see any end in sight.  Yeah, I had an endoscopy and the helicobacter test was negative.  My GI just saw a bit of inflammation...only visible abnormality, but everything else normal.  I don't take gaviscon, but do take tums, zantac. Haven't heard of milk thistle.  Is it in pill form?

Milk thistle is a herb and I think it is a mild prokinetic. Whether that's why it helps I don't know. I get nausea during flare ups but most days, since starting acupuncture, I don't have nausea.

I'm due manometry test in a couple of months and I'm very worried about nausea during that because I'll have to come off the Lansoprazole :-(

Re: asthma, I've also noticed that I need to control this more tightly now as if I need my reliever inhaler my reflux gets worse. So I'm careful to take enough steroid now.

I do get other GERD symptoms - reflux sensation, mid sternal pain, burping etc etc but nausea was always the worst part!

i had the nissen op in apr. 2012. felt fine until jan. 2013. caught a nasty gastrointestional bug from my husband but couldn't shake the nausea. i can no longer vomit because of the surgery, but had the heaves terribly. the reglan the dr. gave me did nothing. i had to use phenegren susp. instead. these worked, but i couldn't shake the nausea for 2 months! it was terrible. the first month it was so bad that i couldn't drive or leave the house. i wanted to die. not kidding. the second month it was better, but always there. it made everyday just awful. after it finally got better i have found that any motion [like being the passenger in a car] or even fast-forwarding a movie will set it off. once i get nauseous, it will last a couple of days. this past week i saw the surgeon that did the nissen last year. he ordered an ultrasound of my gallbladder. i had it on thur. i see him in july and will get the results then. i am nervous because he is a surgeon and they always want to cut something out. lol! i am not looking forward to having mt gb cut out, but if it is causing this nausea, i might have too. i wonder if gb problems are related to reflux? i understand that a lot of people end up having the gb removed after the nissen. i don't know why. anyone out there know????????
