Nausea every day when I wake up, relieved by eating. Bad stomach pain at night
Posted , 8 users are following.
Hi I've had IBS for about 2 years now, and I've tried so many things to help but nothing ever seems to, so I just kind of get on with it. It causes abdominal pain and constipation but I'm used to it now anyway. But lately some new symptoms have arose that I haven't experienced before. I think it could be indigestion/acid reflux but I'm not entirely sure. It started about 2 weeks ago, I started feeling intense nausea when I woke up, literally as close to vomiting as I possibly could be. Now as I also suffer from emetophobia, you can imagine the extra hell that it feels like because I'm terrified of vomiting. It's just unbearable. I also experience stomach pain at night that prevents me from sleeping for ages. I started taking antacids which I believe has now caused me to have diarrhoea. They were helping me get to sleep though. I'm just so lost right now and I can't see a doctor until way after Christmas. It's gotten so bad it's actually making me feel suicidal. Please help!

I've been put on esomoprezole and anti sickness tablets which seem to work but you still get a quite not right feeling hanging over you...it's like a constant I'm going to get a sickness bug feeling and I'm the same have a fear of the vomiting bug. Today I've had really bad kidney pains I'm so fed up being sent for an abdominal scan just waiting for an appointment phone your doctor tomorrow to see if you can get an urgent appointment x

Have you looked into SIBO, bacterial imbalances or parasites? Have you done a comprehensive stool analysis or been tested for h.pylori?
I hope you feel better soon! It's not fun living with IBS and waking up with nausea. Have you looked into the GAPS intro diet? It helped calm my nausea down.
Hang in there and keep going as it is possible to improve.

I used to get nausea after eating lunch I have acid reflux and hytius hernia
I take opeprazol with peptic liquid if it wakes me at night with the acid burning my throat
Antacid can usually make you constipated
I found taking small amount of foods made the nausia better you can buy anti sickness pills over the counter if you want to see if that helps you until you can see a doctor hope you feel better
Take care

I find omeprazole help if I take two at night then I do not have so much pain in the morning. I have never had nausea just the pain.
I had my gallbladdr removed at end of April due to gallstones.
I am better than I was but think I may have IBS.
I have recently been diagnosed with a Hiatus Hernia.
It is possible that a doctor will see you (if you need to be seen) even though you are not registered with them. Many people will be on holiday over Christmas after all.
Take care and keep in touch
Praying for you

So what worked? A strict diet I'm afraid. I did an chemical intolerace elimination diet intially and figured out lots of foods set me off. I keep to a strict diet now, so no spicy, acidic foods, no processed foods, no sauces etc. Doing that for a good 4 months got rid of the nausea. If I go back to eating a more processed diet, I get days here in there where my stomach is queasy, but mainly my stomach just goes erratic and becomes really inflamed.
I still have IBS issues (mainly bloating, irregular stool, food sensitivites and unable to lose weight easily), but I am so releaved I don't have the nasea anymore, that was a nightmare.
