Pages: 1 What is best for nausea and gas       #370366 - 10/04/13 11:47 AM Edit Reply Quote CynthiaS Reged: 09/26/13 Posts: 54 Hi, I am so thankful for everyone's great advice in my other posts. Things are going much better in my life since I have Heather's books and this forum. So far my D seems to be managed, I can eat more foods and have much more strength and my sleep is improving. I am now trying to manage the nausea and gas. I believe the nausea comes when the gas is active. It is a real problem as I am a digital artist and need to spend a lot of time on the computer. The nausea stops me from being able to sit and concentrate on the computer. Hence it interferes with my work. I seems that after I eat I get incredibly sleepy. I fight very hard to stay awake because if I fall asleep it is worse when I wake up. It also seems that after 1 hour my stomach starts gurgling, the gas and nausea hits and I cannot sit at the computer. What of Heather's herbal remedies would you recommend that would help to relieve the gas and nausea that will not trigger D or GERD. It would be helpful if it did not make me sleepy as I need to work. Nighttime sleppiness is fine. Thanks so much for your help. Cheerio CynthiaS Very Underweight, 5'4'' 110 lbs).

I drink that and other herbal teas all day. But the fenneltea is the best (and a hot shower) for gas. I don't know if you drink coffee? If yes, it was a big issue for me.. I stopped drinking coffee and drink the teas instead.

Syl,I'll look into the foodmaps. Sassie,the fennel tea sounds great. I don't drink any coffee or caffeine so that's not a problem.

Peppermint is also great for nausea but you'd have to be careful if you're prone to hearburn. XOXO Heather -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
