IBS diagnosed - constant nausea

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi everyone.

I wonder if anyone is going through a similar situation to me.

On and off, for the past few years, ive been suffering with nausea as my main symptom. Sometimes to the extent of throwing up. I'm still able to eat, but straight after eating the nausea starts again.

I've been diagnosed with IBS after having an MRI of my bowels (i haven't had a colonoscopy). I've had an endoscopy, which also came back normal, along with blood tests and stool tests.

the doctors don't seem to understand what is causing the nausea.

As for my IBS symptoms, I mainly suffer with constipation 80 percent of the time, with diarrhoea 20 percent of the time. I've tried eating more fibre and laxatives, this doesn't seem to help my constipation - if anyone else has any advice, id appreciate it.

    hi Lizzy, ooph that sounds pants! poor you, if this has gone on for so long surely something can be done? try speaking to your chemist, you might get more sense out of them. gaviscon might help you. it's possible the flap at the top of your stomach is not closing nicely, maybe you might need to be careful of what you're eating and how much stress you have in your life. does it ever ease off and if so why. try keeping a diary. proof for the doctor might help. i wish you luck.
