Unexplained Chronic Nausea

Hiya sue , I have been experiencing extreme nausea for the past 5 months and it's pretty uncomfortable, my gp referred me to a gastrologist ally they did was put a camera down my throat , after 2 weeks of waiting it came back that I have nothing wrong . Did you ever find out what it was ?

Dear Sue, I know your email on chronic nausea is several years old, but I have

a friend who has been suffering with this problem of chronic nausea (no vomiting)

and dizziness for three years, and is now hospitalized with multiple problems caused by his being so depressed that multiple attempts to cure him have failed he got so depressed and near suicidal that he has been wasting away. He needs

hope.

     When I discovered this group I offered to try to contact some of the

people whose symptoms and experience sound so much like his, to see

if any of them had found a cure or even improvement. He needs hope and

years of following the psychiatric theory that it's caused BY depression

(rather than it being the cause of his present depression) have all struck out.

      Do you have any words of hope? any new routes to follow? Endocrinology?

The only three days of light he has had in three years was three days following

a joint replacement where he suddenly woke up without this problem and felt

good. It turned out it was an Anti-nausea compound injection they give to patients during? right after surgery? and it lasted several days at home before it wore

off.  They then tried this in pill form and it didn't work. Apparently it contained a

steroid too and this caused doctors to advise against it. But he is almost a senior

and would this be dangerous at his age, to be "on" such an anti-nausea medication on a long-term basis, if this is the only thing that has ever worked???

 Thanks for any advice you can help with.

Sue, I just saw your post of over a year ago. I do hope you are better and yes I have nausea so much of the time. Your anxiety and depression are understandable. Meds helped me with both but nausea is still there. Good luck.

HEY I know this was posted over a year ago but I am just coming across a very similar problem. For the last month and a half I have woken up almost every morning with debilitating nausea and I am un able to do anything till about 1 pm. I'm a university student and I have really struggled focusing on my classes as I am waking up at 6:30-7 every morning to throw up and then not have a appetite all day. I also have acid reflex and have been taking medication for it (doctors suggestion for the problem) and it has not helped. It's been a month and a half now and I've done every test under the planet for my stomach and nothing has come up with a solution. Maybe by now you have got some answers and can help me because at this point it's starting to wreck imporntant aspects of my life.

This sounds very familiar to what I have. About a month and a half ago I got what I assumed was the flu (Nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, etc.) That lasted a couple days. The fever went away but the nausea and vomiting have remained every day for over a month now. Been to two general doctors, a GI specialist, even the hospital. They ran multiple stool, blood and urine tests which everything came back normal. I have bad days and terrible days. I got an endoscopy which revealed gastritis and esophagitis but the doctor chocked that up to the vomiting. Going to get an ultrasound tomorrow to check for gallbladder issues. Hope you find your answers sue.

Hi Sue, I live in the U.S. and have suffered all my life with nausea, gas, bloating. About 10 years ago a new gastroenterologist sent me to UCLA to get a Hydrogen Breath test to check for SIBO.  Sure enough the bacteria in the small intestine can move into the stomach and cause a lot of symptoms that do not go away with PPIs.  They gave me antibiotics and told me I would probably have to repeat them a few times a year.  After doing this for about 5 years, I saw a show called Doug Kaufman's Know the Cause which is on the internet too.  He believes that fungus causes the mycotoxins and a proper non fungal diet, along with either Nystatin or Fluconazole would rid the body of the toxins.  My gastro allowed me to try it instead of the antibiotics and it did the same as the antibiotic treatment.  Afterwards you need to replenish your good gut bacteria with some probiotics with Bifacterium Infantis (sp?).    I hope that these tips might help you. They can also test for h pylori bacteria which I never seemed to have even though I always had acid reflux and felt like I had an ulcer every so often.

Get tested for lyme disease!

I am dealing with vomiting 4-5 times a day now 3 days in a row out of the blue as well I recently 2016 had gastro bypass surgery but had a previous hiatus henIA they had to unwrap to do the surgery I as well fatigue headaches increasing and some chest pains & diarrhea as well I don't get it I think this is resulting in around my Hiatus Hernia and Bleeding Ulcers but still going thru tests I do need a scope as this is pretty scary I knw that I hope u and I both get some result and comfort soon ..Brenda

Hi Sue- I stumbled on this thread due to recent nausea issue. I realize you posted it three years ago and I hope to God you are feeling better now. Did you ever get the answers you were looking for?

Sounds suspiciously like the way my fibromyalgia nightmare began 20 years ago...I wish my headaches stopped as quickly as yours. My diagnoses have ranged from disc damage to multiple sclerosis.... finally settling on fibromyalgia around 19 years ago. Stomach problems have been an issue for years & not part of the basic profile used for diagnosis of fibromyalgia. I have many problems that are unrelated to the stereotype fibromyalgia patient....I have inter joint swelling & bleeding , chronic waitlist , I am unable to exercise as the mildest repetitive movement tears my muscle fibres & connective tissue. If you're seeing a GP & they can ask about the possibility of fibromyalgia my Dr tells me it's often misdiagnosed as M.E. , it is so important you get the right treatment from the beginning & that means the correct diagnosis. If it's M.E. good luck I'm not an expert at all, your symptoms sound so similar to some of My own that I just wondered....tho I sincerely hope not. Lansoprazole is very good at controlling nausea & making eating less of a challenge, I understand how much of one it is , I've lost 5st so I really sympathize, if I'd been overweight I'd be ok , but the Holocaust camp look isn't a good one & tho I eat as much as possible & sometimes that's a lot of Hagen Daas for desert....I cannot put weight on to save my life.

I hope you can find an answer to your problems & you get the help back to good health you need.
