Why do some people with IBS (My husband has IBS A) experience nausia? Is it because the colin does not reabsorb gas and it backs up into your lower GI? He also feels full down in his lower abs even if he does not eat a big meal. We just discoverd Gas X yesterday and does provide relief.

Hiya,
I think there are probably a lot of causes of nausea and I don't know a lot, but when _I_ get most nauseous is when I haven't eaten in a while. I've heard that the build up of acid in your stomach when you haven't eaten for a while and there is nothing in there to absorb the acid, it can cause nausea.
The fullness in his lower tummy could totally be gas pains, but I don't know if that is connected to the acid thing.. not sure..

If my gas levels are high I tend to get nauseaus and feel full, also I get that nauseaus feeling first thing in the AM most days (not pregnancy- I'm sure).. so I use a lot of fennel tea and gas-x (storebrand version) as well as when I have diahrea issues I take immodium advanced, but not when I'm stable or leaning towards the c side of things as that will cause other issues... from reading here, seems a lot of us IBS-A people have these issues... not sure if its more then C and D people or I just notice more of the posts.

I get nausea, too. I think it does have something to do with acid in the stomach. Pepcid or tums might help. I also get nauseated when I am stressed out. Sometimes I take Pepto-bismol, yuk, and that does help. Ginger is supposed to be good but I haven't tried that yet.
One more thing, I get nausea when I haven't eaten for awhile and get shaky and nauseated from low blood sugar. Usually, if I eat crackers or just something it gets better.
I think nausea is the worst!

Are you on a birth control pill? A LOT of women who take the pill at night wake up nauseated, especially if they wake up very early. This happens to me sometimes, but less since I switched to Yasmin. But oh man .... if I forget one pill and have to double up the next night, I am visibly green in the morning. Just a thought.

not me- I can't take the pill.. I tried.. even on the weakest dose I had black blood clots leak out the second month, and horrendous cramping and nausea all month long.. wish it was that simple, but as I find more IBS'ers with this I wonder if it has to do with an empty tummy....

I don't know what causes it, I just know I have it too! I just have straight nausea, though - no gassiness, and none of that "full" feeling. I also can't link it to an empty stomach, like most people can - sometimes it's worse if I try to eat. My doctor just prescribed me phenergan for it, although I can't vouch for how it works, since it's taken on an as-needed basis and I haven't needed it yet. That's great if gas-x gives him some relief, though!

I was prescribed phenergan once when I had a horrible virus that was making me vomit every half hour. They gave me a shot of phenergan in the hip (and by "hip" they meant "a$$"), and then pills to take every few hours afterwards. Well first of all it knocked me out, bigtime. I slept for about 15 hours (though I'm sure the high fever had something to do with that). The weird thing is that I woke up the next morning with hives all over my body, which got worse for the next 24 hours, until I treated it with benedryl. Even my ears and fingers swelled up, and my throat got itchy. It was a real allergic reaction, but took almost a day to present. No doctor or pharmacist had ever heard of that happening with phenergan, so you probably won't have a problem, but I just thought I'd give you the heads up. The drowsiness side effect is definitely common, though, so be careful.

Yeah, they definitely warned me about the drowsiness... it's a double-whammy for me, since they also have me on lexapro starting tomorrow, so I'm sure I'll just be unconscious for a while - LOL! That's interesting that you broke out in hives... I'm only saying it's "interesting" because she said that's what they typically prescribe phenergan for! Thanks for the heads-up, though; allergies are truly weird things.

Hey Casey,
I was prescribed Phenergan for nausea after a panic attack. I don't know why but when I get a panic attack that awful nausea always follows. It did help but it will make you very drowsy. I only took half the dose. It's been awhile since I took one. Usually pepto bismol helps so I stick with that. I am going to try the ginger capsules that I bought but.... am afraid to take.... one of these days.

Barbie,
Don't be afraid to take them. They are as safe as Ginger tea only stronger. I take nightly (2) before bed and don't have a bit of nausea. When I forget and have gone a while without taking them ewww,  I frequently feel sick to my stomach and don't know why, until it dawns on me that I haven't been good about remembering them. When I get back into taking them on a regular basis I have no symptoms what so ever.
Ginger in your cooking and eating crystallized or candied ginger may help as well. It's wonderful stuff, in any form!
And I just discovered a thinly sliced marinated ginger (pink in color) next to the Wasabi with the Sushi at a Chinese place I go to. Anyone know the name of it?

I believe that it is called pickled ginger. We eat it all the time!

My husband did take immodium advanced and now he is on the C side of things. (sigh!) We continue to make these mistakes cause we can't read fast enough!
He agrees that he has the nausea when the gas levels are high. It does not matter what time of day. In fact he seems to get worse as the day progresses. So he will wake up fine and then by mid-afternoon be uncomfortable at work with gas and nausea. He switched to soy milk and oat squares for breakfast (2 days so far) and said that today was a good day. Meaning no nausea. He also has been great about getting regular exercise.
Someone mentioned Pepto and he said that when he was really bad with nausea several weeks ago that did help. He since then took Milanta and had complete D soon afterwards so he will never do that again. So since that he has been worried about the Pepto for nausea too.
As an aside: I think one of the reasons it took awhile for us to get onto the band wagon was getting ourselves around the problem. To accept that is was real and that it was not going to go away. Nausea is the worst, in his opinion, and he is highly motivated not to do anything to have it happen again. (scared too)
Thanks so much for your feedback we both read the posts and it is appreciated!

Thanks Lefty and IbsFla...I didn't figure it would have any exotic name to it.........so I guess just "pickled ginger" it is.

i take motilium when i get a nausea attack....it usually works like a dream. taking it hand in hand with ginger root tea, helps me a lot. motilium has recently been banned in the US because one of its side effects is increasing lactation in breast feeding mothers and a lot of mothers are using the drug to increase their milk output. side effects on babies are not known so they have removed it from the shelves over there. it has been used for years in the UK, Europe and the rest of the world. I am moving to the US in a month and am going to have to smuggle it in!

Feel the fear and do it anyway!
