Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Sorry you are having a tough time. I thoroughly understand what you are going through. I also had the nausea caused by stress. This was several years ago and the doc put me on Pepcid. It really helped, along with a low fat diet, and didn't give me "D". Isn't Tagamet similar to Pepcid? If it helped before maybe you could try it again. Also, I'm on Librax which relaxes me and my tummy. It has been the one med that has helped me the most. It is in the same family as Xanax. I would certainly use the Xanax if I were you. Maybe start at the lowest dose. I believe it will help you cope more than anything else with all the stress in your life right now.

I have also used anti-nausea wrist bands (mine is called SeaBand) that I got at the drug store. They are really for motion sickness but they did help somewhat.

Also, I do deep breathing exercises and that has helped me, too.

It certainly does look like you have a lot to deal with right now....hopefully in time things will settle down.

Good luck with your physical. Hope you get some help.

I agree with Casey, Stress sucks!
