IBS and Nausea

Hi Caroline,

I have Diverticulitis which are polyps in my intestines and they sometimes get full up with faeces especially after having endured a lot of stomach cramps which are like nausea, in fact they are ****** awful. I feel so debilitated during these cramps and have to push myself to get up and do things otherwise they will win. Sometimes these then get infected and I have to have anti biotics. If I take a couple of Fybogel sachets these cramps go away, so I would try Fybogel if I was you. You can get them on prescription or directly on the shelf in most chemists

I take Fybogel granules (extra fibre) twice a day after food plus mebeverine Hydrochloride 135mg tablets 3 times a day.

I take an orange flavoured Fybogel but you must drink it straight away after mixing it with water otherwise it quickly turns to a jelly and becomes horrible to drink. I also take Lanzaprazole because the amount of tablets I take creates too much stomach acid which in turn can also make you feel nauseous.

It is a question of balancing all these items and of course the type of food you eat.

I have always liked curries and other spicy foods but they don't like me now so I have to steer clear of them, so plenty of vegetables and fruit but don't overdo the fruit. Everything in moderation.

Good Luck

Alun.

My husband and mum both suffer from IBS and they get nausea - it's not an explanation or a cure, but crystallised ginger eases it. Get it on the bakery aisle of supermarkets and chew a couple of pieces when it comes on. It does stop that awful throwing up feeling.

 

Hello Caroline,

I posted a similar experience a few days ago. I have the same problems, I tried a lot of different medications without good results.

Did you have usual tests? (gastroscopy, etc.) Just to make sure you have nothing too serious.

Then, maybe you should try some small dose of Amitryptiline (a kind of anti-depressant), in accordance with your GP or gastroenterologist. For me it helped about nausea and bloating.

Bye

Hi Caroline! I see this discussion is from 4 years ago. I am now going through what you were. I have an endoscope in the morning, thank goodness. Just wondering if your problem ever resolved and if so, how? I’m so so tired of not feeling well! Thank you!
