IBS - terrible nausea - help!!

Hi,

Can anyone help me.. I'm 27 years old and been suffering for 2 and a half years with horrendous nausea and loose bowels. I've had so many tests done in hospital and nothing has showed up. So doctors are just saying maybe it's IBS.

I'm still struggling to work out what I am eating. I've had a really bad flare up just a few days ago and I struggle to eat with the nausea so severe. I hate how much it affects my life.

I've kept food diaries and think tomatoes are an issue but think something else is causing it too. I think I can eat tomatoes based things in small portions and very spread out.

Can anyone recommend any help I could get to try get to solve this? Or any websites that could give me ideas of usual foods that are issues?

Also any gut/bowel cleansing products that may help clean out any bad bacteria please?

Thanks!!

    Have you had an endoscopy? Nausea is usually related to stomach acid and gastric emptying. You can get over the counter nausea tablets quite easily from the pharmacy. Also try antacids- I find liquid works best for nausea.

    Mint or ginger tea is also good.

      Hi, thank you for your reply.

      Yes they done an endoscopy a year ago which showed nothing.

      I have got ondansetron for the nausea as it's the only tablet that helps. I've had over the counter ones plus numerous ones prescribed too. Ginger tea is good, I have found that to help.

    Hi, you could try multi strain probiotics, as strong as possible, good bacteria (Probiotics) willl keep bad bacteria under control, Chia seeds are full of fibre, if you put a couple of tablespoons full into 200 mils of water leave for an hour or two, it will go all glutinous add some juice for taste stir well and drink.

      Hi Martin, Thank you for your reply.

      I haven't heard of those probiotics so I will definitely check them out. Plus chia seeds, I have eaten them in the past. Anything is worth a try!!
