Hello Everyone,

So today I am experiencing some intermittent nausea. It comes and goes. I think the trigger for it was some pork ribs I had earlier today and the smell and taste were more than I can bear. I can some pork if its cooked right but for the most part I stay away from red meat. I can't eat ribs a lot or sausages because they just don't agree with me. Could I have some allergy to pork? Its not like I have a serious reaction but rather just an unsettled stomach.

The nausea has subsided some thanks to some ginger tea but I still don't know what else could trigger it. I suppose it is healthy that I avoid red meat but I do like some ribs every now and then..

Any advice would help.

Hi TMo!
Nice to meet you. I can tell you from personal experience that having anxiety and/or depression can cause prolonged nausea with or without vomiting. I've had it come and go for years, hospitalized, tested for everything known to man and it was my primary doc who nailed it all along. I have major depressive disorder and PTSD. Was just retested last week and unfortunately tested very strongly for both.

When extra stress, anxiety or depressive situations happen often so does the nausea. Can't even get down water. I have to get hydrated at the doc's office or hospital. Now that we have figured out what is causing it after about 5 years I've started going to a nurse practitioner/psychologist. She's working on balancing my medications and beginning to talk about what has and is going on in my life. Haven't had a bad nausea relapse for almost many months now so something is helping.

You might want to talk to your doctor about this idea. I'm not saying it's definitely happening to you as it does to me but it's worth checking out. There are good anti-nausea medications out there also if it gets bad.

Warmly,
Chutz

Anxiety can cause nausea and GERD.

Try Ginger lozenges or grate and boil it in a cup of water for 2 min .Keep it and drink.

Anti nausea pill can help too,its OTC.

Or visit gastroentrologist.

Thank you all for your responses. I am feeling much better now. Completely recovered. A few cups of ginger tea did the trick. I think it was a reaction to those ribs I had. They were cooked differently and the smell/taste triggered something. I will keep all of the advice that each of you gave me in mind for future reference.
