Ok I have been feeling like throwing up with no appetite for 3 weeks. What’s wrong with me?

So I went to the Doctor and they said it’s my anxiety and constipation (I also have extreme emetophobia) my dad says if I would have thrown up I would have already. I feel like I will throw up all day and it gets worse at night. What’s wrong with me?

This is your body telling you, you need to change your diet. It might be that your stomach is too acidic, this can cause extreme nausea. Take some probiotics with prebiotics, 50 billion CFU’s and try a more alkaline based diet, such as a Mediterranean style diet.

Sounds like there’s more chance of you throwing up if you do eat, rather than not eating much. Do you have any other symptoms? 🤔

I get waves of nausea throughout the day- no constant.
I wld start fruit as was mentioned and ginger / peppermint tea will settle or help settle urcstimach so you may get some good in
Try to stay away from beef and hard to digest foods.
Also dairy and glutton and see what happens - if constioatin is chronic and causing discomfort
Take miralax and benafiber will help you there - if not ur dr might step up the laxatives for a time ..
Good luck - I know it sucks
I go thru pain daily with Ibs -C
So I get it

Difficult as it may be get back to the GPs and ask for tests. Anyone handing out advice without solid facts is either exceedingly clever or more than silly.
Regards, and good luck, E

My electrolytes. They tell me just drinking plain water isn’t enough.
So since I’ve started to drink at least 3 small bottles of Gatorade a day when I feel the worst that’s about all I can keep
down, but it’s better than getting dehydrated and having to be on IV fluids.
I have cyclic vomiting disorder, and migraines, and several other health issues as well as getting old at 63 my body doesn’t recover as fast from even simple viruses.
So if you don’t feel up to eating try to replace electrolytes with Gatorade is better than nothing.

If you don’t have anything in your system to throw up you could still get dry heaves. Just try your best to get some liquids into you. I had to drink sips of Gatorade at first. Then I got to where I could drink ensure if I mixed it half and half with milk. Or try some dry toast. I know it sounds hard but you have to start small.
If you have a lot of nausea I’d ask the Dr’s for some anti nausea medicine. There’s over the counter stuff like Dramamine or meclizine or emetrol.
The prescription kind is promethazine or Zofran which dissolves under your tongue so it doesn’t have to go into your stomach if you already can’t jeep anything down.
Often it takes a bit of tome to figure out what is causing nausea. It can even be from something like vertigo or an inner ear infection.
If it’s disrupting your life then you need to let the Dr know it is. If a general Dr can’t figure it out then go to a Dr of Internal Medicine. They are like the detectives of Dr’s. Think Dr House on tv.

The Dr about that as well.
