Hi, I'm new! Help with nausea please!?

Hi everyone, nice to meet you all -

I have just signed up as it is great to have a place to have a chat and exchange advice with other fellow Crohns sufferers. I was diagnosed last November after a re-section and being misdiagnosed for several years. I have been well since the op but lately I have had really bad nausea. I am taking Motilium (doperidone) but only works for a short time, very bloated too. Anyone have any ideas that will ease the nausea for longer please? Thanks,

Emma

I use Zofran or Phenergan. Both work well for me, but the phenergan knocks me out, so I only take that one at night.

Thanks for your advice Stephanie - I will ask my GP.

Hi Emma and welcome! I am sorry you are having such a tough time with nausea. I know a lot of people will drink tea with ginger to settle their stomach.

I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks for your welcome Jill - I'm not a fan of ginger tea but I'll try anything at the moment - thanks!

I also use Zofran. I find it VERY helpful. There isnt much more you can do. Phenergan is also a good one, but as chrisnsteph1022 said, it will make you sleepy. I sometimes suck on ice. Thats all I can think of to help. I personally avoid eating untill the nausea goes away. Some people feel better after they eat something light like crackers. I guess if you are bloated you wont want any crackers. Maybe ask your doc about zofran. I works really well. I hope you feel better soon Good luck!

You can try ginger capsules, maybe.

Hiya,

I agree the ginger tablets seem to work best for me, and are really cost effective too. Hope this helps

Hiya Emma
and welcome

You could ask your doc about Cyclizine, an anti histamine that works for nausea and vomiting.
I was given this in hospital and it's the business, albeit - very powerful!
Hope you get something sorted soon, feeling nauseous all the time is just awful.
Lotsa luv

I drink Ginger Ale a lot. And Zofran is amazing!! If it's bad at night I'll take Phenergan, it makes me sleepy.

Hi Emma and welcome

Let's see if maybe we can get to the root of what is causing your nausea, shall we?

1. What meds are you on?
2. What was specifically resected? And why did you have the surgery? What were the doctors thinking it was?
3. Are you taking any supplements?
4. When are you most likely to get nauseous? For example, right after you eat, on an empty stomach, as you lie down for bed, or?
5. Do specific foods seem more likely to make you sick to your stomach?
6. Where exactly is your Crohn's known to be active?

All my best to you
