Guest guest Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 For me nausea is blood sugar levels related. If I eat something sugary (or high GI-carbohydrates like white bread, or fruit) I'll feel weak, dizzy and nauseous, especially on an empty stomach. this is because my body produces too much insulin to soak up the sugar - sending me into a blood-sugar dive (hypoglycemic). It's not dangerous (or at least mine isn't) but it does make me feel awful. And when it first started, I felt nauseous all the time because I didn't realise I was triggering it continuously. Id have some plain crackers to try to settle the nausea, and it would just set it off again! Over the years I've learnt by trial and error what works and what doesn't - if I want sweets or chocolate, I have them after I've eaten something my system absorbs more slowly, like cheese, or a solid meal. Nerida, before I got it under control I used to have what you're describing - nauseous most of the time, but never when I'm actually eating!

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Hi, you can take lactase, if the part of the milk you are reacting to is the lactose. Even after treatment I find that I can only have a wee skim in my tea, and I eat goat cheese instead. Hard to get goat yogurt but it can be found - might want to try that. Other sources of good bacteria are fermented foods like miso, sauerkraut, good quality tamari soy sauce.I just love miso as soup and flavouring so I get it that way.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I've not seen goat yogurt at my health food store. I'll have to ask if they can stock it. How does it taste? I haven't found any goat cheese either but I had thought that Feta cheese was goat cheese only to find out that it has milk in it. I use rice milk without a problem but haven't seen rice yogurt. I don't use Miso because it has soy and my doc told me to avoid soy. I do eat sauerkraut sometimes and do use tamari. I haven't tried the lactase as I don't know what part of the milk I react too.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I only had the nausea symptom --thank GOD!-- at a certain stage of this illness. At that time I'd not been diagnosed, and also had headaches,the fibromyalgia pain in my legs and sometimes hands; also head aches. THEN there was the fatigue factor.... I finally found that I was able to stave it off by eating cereal with soymilk (8 Continents if you can get it; full of vitamins); usually I'd do Bran cereal. Nothing about my physical system was 'regular' at all back then and I was going doctor to doctor with no answers. For myself I think the reason it stopped was the cause had to do perhaps with consipation, and somewhat with a habit of not eating in the morning. When I feel that way now I resort to that, saltine or similar crackers, sometimes even a light kind of fruit.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Hi Sandrea, you have to find goat Feta, I use it all the time (but live on health food island here in Canada <grin>). I found a really good goat cheddar from a company named Woolrich, I have no idea how widely it is available. And we have local artisan goat cream cheeses, cost the earth but lovely for a treat. Goat is much more like human and not so hard to digest. BTW Tamari is soy. Perhaps you could just try the lactase as it does no harm, or try the lactose-free milk as an experiment.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Another good natural remedy is Fresh ginger root. You can boil it in tea. Also coke syrup which is over the counter and also emetrol again Over the counter. I always have ginger ale soda in the house. Pretzels also help as well as saltine crackers.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Thanks. I will have to look. Yeah, I forgot about the Tamari being soy. Woops. I was looking for the wheat free factor. I don't use it very often. Sandrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 That happened to me on Wednesday. I can't eat a lot in the morning, just a protein bar or something to take my meds, and usually I'm fine, but I was coming back from a meeting and I started getting really nauseous so I ate a snack and it went away almost immediately, it really was wierd nerida brown wrote: I was wondering if the nauseous feeling goes when you are actually eating?

Thanks!! > Yes, I've been getting more nausea lately. Mostly it is related to migraines or starting a new medicine (such as the Byetta injections for my diabetes). Sometimes it seems to come from nowhere and just hang around. The first thing I do is figure out how long it's been since I had a real meal (i.e., one containing a fair amount of protein and some fat, not just carbs). If it's been 4 hours or more, eating something is the first order of business. Sometimes that's enough to quell the nausea for a few hours. Chewing on crystallized ginger always helps me, and it's not as " hot " and more convenient than using a fresh ginger root. Most ginger ales don't have enough real ginger in them nowadays, except for certain brands at the health food store. There's a wonderful product called Ginger Wonder Syrup at the HFS, which is basically fresh ginger juice in honey. I put a big spoonful of it in a cup of black tea, and it really helps when sipped slowly. Eating crackers or plain toast sometimes helps, but I can't do too much of that due to diabetes. Chewing sugarless gum seems to help for mild nausea (not the vomiting kind), especially when doing something to distract myself such as watching TV. Sometimes I get nauseous when overtired, overheated, and dehydrated. The obvious solution is to rest someplace cool and drink water ;@) Sometimes it feels like my electrolytes may be off if I've been dehydrated for hours, in which case sipping V8 really helps. (I like it either chilled with a squeeze of fresh lemon, or microwaved with a grind of pepper.) Or eating dill pickles or salty popcorn. (But the V8 is healthiest and gives you magnesium and potassium in addition to the sodium.) There are a couple accupressure points that you can do on yourself that help nausea. One is on the inside of the wrist, about 4 finger-widths up from the main wrist crease, between two cords (CS6). This is the one that " Sea Bands " stimulate (Sea Bands are available at drug stores and health food stores; they're basically elastic wrist bands with a bead that you line up on CS6). There's another point just below the center of the nose, about 2/3 of the way up from the upper lip; use the point of your index finger to press on this and hold. Hope this helps! -- " wake now!

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 - Thank you! I'll try the acu points. I already use the ho-ku(?) point - bet the thumb & index finger - all the time for general tune up. It's one little piece of the puzzle & it helps a little.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Deborah, Please ask your doc for something to control the nausea so that you can keep food down but just remember, if you can only get fluid down for one day, it wont be the most horrible thing,, really,, ask your doc for a suppository if you can't keep food down.. but keep eating popsicycles or something really cold,, Ginger Ale is good for nausea too! I hope it gets better! hugs, jax Subject: NauseaTo: Hepatitis_C_Central Date: Friday, September 4, 2009, 2:06 PM I started treatment last night and thought I was doing really well - no fever, no chills.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I've heard that antidepressants can make you nauseated so it might be helpful to eat something at the time you take it and then again in the morning when you get up. Protein helps with nausea too. Just a thought,, not everything works for everyone but its worth a try! hope that helps, jax Subject: nauseaTo: Hepatitis_C_Central Date: Thursday, October 22, 2009, 3:52 PM hi..i have been feeling very nauseated... .stared trazadone for sleep a couple of nights ago so far only took 25 mg each time ...i wonder if itiis that or the interferon ribo?
