Hi all

Another thing to ask as I am trying to find out who has what with UC and who doesn't as it helps to talk to others.

Anyone had any problems with horrible feeling sick before eating or after eating? Or and this is the even sillier part feeling hungry and sick at the same time?

It is a vicious circle eat, feel sick, can't eat, still feel sick. It lasts around 2 hours or sometimes half the day and it is one of the many symptoms this annoying thing does.

Anyone else have this problem?

    Yeah I had that for several weeks...just getting over it at weekend past. It's horrible as u force urself to eat in case too much weight loss. Have u tried ranitidine same as Zantac but cheaper from larger grocery stores or chemists. It can b helpful. MJ

    Hi mzmcgee

    Thanks for posting this.

    I am so sorry you feel so yuk.I know exactly what this is like and have suffered in total 4 years with this thing, it happened without any meds and even on meds nothing shifts it much at all.

    I feel as sick as a dog this morning again cannot eat anything at present. Mostly it is in the morning, I will sometimes have the evening sickness before or after eating. Have got meds (got anti sickness tabs), they are very hit and miss.

    You are right it is not nice to have and it is not helping my weight either (underweight too), as I don't relish the thought of food at all. Very fed up with it. Only thing thing I have found that helps a little in relieving it for an hour is ginger tea (not everyone's taste) and maxijul dissolved in water.

    Anyone with any other suggestions/comments?

    Hi mzmcgee

    Thanks for the info. Will try and find this vanilla shake, they sound yummy. How are you getting on? Another off day for me today, really sick.

    Found maxijul helped and Frusubin calshots, have you tried those? They help if I can't eat much and I can sip those over a few hours and they taste quite nice.

    I have this problem! Sometimes I cannot differentiate between if I am hungry or feel queezy. I find having a small snack such as a cracker or a biscuit and a drink helps it settle a little.
