My name is Jeff and I have recently been feeling very nausious these days.  The mornings are the worst but sometimes it drags throughout the day.  I take a 150mg Zantac in the morning and a 40mg Nexium before my evening meal.  The Zantac in the morning seems like that don't work very much.  The nausea has been making hard to want to eat anything and as a result, I have been losing weight.  I went from 226 down to 214 in 2 weeks.  My question to anyone that could give me some advice is has this been happing to you as well (weight lose) because of not eating like you used too, and what is the best way of trying to control this nausea?

I could easily lose 10 pounds in not time from nausea and not eating. That was my biggest symptom. Actually, it is a combination of gerd/gastritis. Meds work, I take zegerid and it helps a lot but diet plays an important role. Once you do feel like eating, eat light. Toast, bananas and nothing greasy. even chocolate can make things pretty bad. I use to get so stressed out about not eating but now i just wait until i feel hungry instead of forcing it. Stress can make things a whole lot worse so try to relax and eat a little bit at a time and then go from there. Good luck!!

Hi Jeff,you could try taking Nexium in the morning when you get up to give you protection all day and take your zantac at bedtime.I was on that regime at one time with good results.Hope it works for you. Barry

I have very bad nausea unless I take my PPI in the evening - about 9.00 pm. I chew DGL when I wake up and that helps a lot.

Have you been tested for Helicobacter and coeliac disease?
