Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Constant nausea, tried everything, need help!

I, too, have been diagnosed with IBS and "hyperacidity" in my stomach. I don't know if that means GERD or not, but I can relate to your problems. I can mostly tolerate the lower GI issues (I'm predominently C with occasional D) but the nausea has been the worst problem. I, too, have a phobia about vomiting and will do almost anything to NOT do it! Silly, I know, because I would probably feel better to get it out of my system and all that. But non the less I have this phobia. Anyway, I have found that ginger is the best thing for me. It's not always instant at working but the ginger aid tea will kick in for me after a little while. Also, I recently picked up some hard candies at the local health food store called Gin-Gins that are really good. I keep them in my purse and at work. Also good are the Ginger Chews from the same company. This company is called the Ginger People and have a web site: www.gingerpeople.com that you can purchase all kinds of ginger things from! Check it out and hang in there. I have missed work and numerous social events, as well as not being able to make plans because of the IBS and nausea issues. I've also been taking Protonix for a while (a PPI for acid reduction) which seems to help with the nausea for some reason. Hey, whatever works! I hope this helps and hang in there - you are not alone. I don't post alot on the message boards, but it is comforting to read them and know that you are not alone (or crazy!).
