Hi,
First of all, english is not my native language. Sorry for that but I'll try to explain my stomach problems as best I can.
Firstly, I'm a bodybuilder, well I was.. Eat 750 gr meat, 5-8 whole eggs since 2-3 years WITHOUT NO VEGG & FRUIT. Can lack of fiber intake cause stomach damage?
Well, about my problems..
4 months ago, I was soaking wet due to rainy weather, than I came my home and nausea & vomiting and diarrhea started. Diarrhea and vomiting just long 2-3 days. But nausea (maybe harsh, maybe slightly but it always with me!) longs for 4 months.
Got endoscopy and diagnosed as chronic gastritis with mild inflammation. But I still feel nauseous specially after eating.
I really give up. 4 months, and still nauseous. I lost 25 kilograms.
Never seen of ppl with crazy nausea that long 4 months like me. Specially with mild inflammation.
I feel like I'm iin endless nightmare & torture.
Can I be heal? I'm not sure.
Please help me if you can.
Regards,
By the way, forgot to say that, I have no other symptoms. Just nausea & fatigue. Got anxiety, too. Actually I'm happy man but this disease destroyed my psychology.
Hi
I am in the same boat and understand completely. I am waiting to get an endoscopy done in Sept but until then I suffer with nausea for the last 8 mths. I did have an infection Hpylori was treated in Nov but still have nausea like you sometimes days worse then others but always there.
I have had tests and scans all normal , next week I will start acupuncture... heard that pregnant women with bad morning sickness do acupuncture. Worth a try!
I have been on this forum for months it helps to hear others. I think I have what you have and altered my diet. What I don't understand when people say they had a scope done doesn't the doctor say you have this or that you need to do or take a medication and your symptoms will go away.
I am waiting to see a dr long wait list where I live. Why doesn't these doctors not know after going inside you can then give you answers on how to heal ?
Hope you feel better real soon it does effect your mind body and soul!
The medications that are prescribed for these issues do not cure anything, they just treat the symptoms and many times have side effects that are worse than the orignal symptoms, your best bet is to do some research for natural rememdies, through diet, herbs, acupuncture, etc. and heal your body. Are you taking any probiotics? digestive enzymes? Again do some research and get a high quality supplement. Peppermint oil is also helpful. Everything starts in the gut, you need to get your gut healthy again and working properly, medications especially antibiotics will destroy the good bacteria in your gut which then leads to all sorts of digestive issues.
You definitely need fiber, raw fruits, veggies & nuts are your best bet. There are many vegetables that are high in protein as well as fiber, do a google search and you will find a list of them.
Hello,
First of all I think you did pretty well with your English,
As for your symptom that can be one of the worst feelings(other than pain). These are some of the things I try that help me...
An acid reducer( acid reflux can make you feel nausea)
Peppermint
Papaya or pineapple enzymes really seems to help me
I used to take pepto bismol but it is 'Not' for everyone
Ginger
With that said not everyone can tolerate all of the above mentioned.
It sounds like you were eating alot of protein, I for one can not tolerate protein well, hard to digest. Try eating a yogurt in the morning and milder things throughout the day for awhile. This will give your gut a chance to heal. apples(settle my stomache), soups, rice, smoothies etc. But it still would be a good idea to be reevaluated.
take Care & good luck
These replies to your post sky throat are all valid. Healing the gut is the key thing. That is what I have done for myself . Even though I still have nausea I know it is taking time to heal my gut. Our gut plays such an important part in our bodies.
We think that we are doing good when we are abusing it. It listens well are we ?
The post on all the medication that are prescribed is so true I learned the hard way.
I heal now with natural remedies, meditation and have gratitude in my life.
My vessel (body) had a message for me I just took a long time to sit up and listen to it.
And yes your English is fine 😊
My GI doc said me that probiotics are generally healthy things, but it won't heal you. Because of this, I don't buy probiotic supps or something like that.
I have lactose intolerance (or cow-milk casein, I don't know exactly to be honest) When I consume any cow product, nausea and gas start with it. I can try home-made goat kefir for probiotics or supplement. Goat & sheep products are easier to consume.
I don't take digestive enyzmes at all. My GI said that you don't need anything, just take your PPI (nexium) and your anti-nausea drug (itopride) You'll be ok, you have just mild inflammation in your stomach.
Actually, I was starting to feel fine 2 weeks ago, than I raise my daily kcal intake and harsh nausea came with it and I feel bad for 2-3 days. Nightmare came back.
I think, I MUST drop my daily kcal intake.
My best meal (that means I have no nausea or just slightly when I eat it) chicken breast with cooked zucchini/carrot/broccoli and cucumbers.
When I eat fat even very very low amount of it, almond butter for example or just 2 eggs, nausea starts.
Thanks everyone.
I think you may need to find another GI, one who does not tell his patients to rely solely on medications. Do a little research on the side effects of PPIs, like Nexium, you are only supposed to be on those meds for 6 months but most MDs have no clue as to the side effects or just don't believe that pharmaceuticals could be harmful. He is giving you meds for the inflamation but not helping you to figure out what is causing the inflamation. You absolutely need probiotics and digestive enzymes as we do not get enough in our everyday food anymore, especially if you eat a lot of processed or microwaved food. Dairy is actually very bad for you and should be avoided if possible, replace with almond milk or coconut milk.
I'm sorry I might of misunderstood your post. I agree,inflammation does need to be addressed separately by your GI. The reccomendations we made only help to ease the nausea but no they probably won't cure what is causing it. Have you tried lactaid for lactose intolerance? It can be helpful but again avoiding trigger foods would be the most benificial for that. Otherwise although probiotics won't cure they do help you feel better from my experience anyway. Hopefully this all gets sorted out for you soon.
Great point, kit4410. That's what I think about. My doc just gave me meds and I asked to him what causes the inflammation numbers of times but he sahd that he does not know.
I'll get my probiotic supp as soon as possible then. I live in Turkey and there's no many alternative for probiotic supps though.
Hope that I'll heal soon.
I'm really tired because of this.
Hola Skythroat,
I am so sorry to hear about your constant nausea. I certainly understand the pain and misery too well. I also have severe gastritis, and other debilitating stomach disorders. The medication prescribed did no heal my stomach nor take away the pain. I , too, lost over 60 pounds, lost my appetite and could seldom keep even small amounts of soft food down.
I started drinking 100% pure Aloe Juice three times per day. I did not mix it with anything and drank about 1/2 cup each time. Within about 2 weeks, I noticed a huge change. The nausea left, the appetite returned and the inflamation went away. The Aloe Juice can be purchased at Wal-Mart, Walgreens and other such places for less than $11.00 per gal. I recently started messaging my stomach after watching it on the You tube. This has helped greatly with the pain, and other problems. I think typed in "how to do a stomach message". I am constantly searching because I do not like taking a lot of medicine.
I pray that this can help you and certainly wish you the very best. Please keep us posted. . 😊
The only thing that makes me stronger, if I avoid fatty foods, reduce my daily kcal intake, I'll be heal, soon. I saw that, I was feel fine as I said 2 weeks ago, I was healing. But I ate 1 cup of white rice, 250 gr chicken breast and tons of veggies in just one meal. Than nightmare came back again. I'm in nightmareland since 3-4 days, again.
I created my daily meal plan, like this,
Breakfast - 2 large slices of sourdough bread
Lunch - 150 gr chicken breast, cooked broccoli/spinach, cucumber pieces
Dinner - 150 gr chicken breast/chicken liver/lean red meat, cooked zucchini carrot, cucumber pieces
Snacks - Banana, apples
What do you guys think about this?
I'm fine when I get hungry. When I get bloated due to meals, nausea starts with it.
I'll buy probiotic supplement and I'm looking for aloe vera juice.
Thanks for recommendations.
you may want to cut out the bread for breakfast and replace with Greek Yogurt. Also try eating the veggies raw. How are you cooking the meat? Have you had any testing for food allergies?
Cooking is the best practice in the human history. It provides easier digest for foods. Raw vegetables can irritate my stomach. I know they do. Specially when my stomach is unhealthy.
I have sensibility against cow products as I said. Maybe I can try goat yoghurd. I live in Turkey and I can find any kind of fermented milk products easily.
Do not have food allergy test or something like that. It can be very helpful. Totally agreed.
Thank you.
That looks like a pretty decent plan to me. My only thought to add in response to raw veggies would be, juicing or steamed veggies are easier to digest.But if you are tolerating them cooked that should be fine too. I know some people that do tolerate sourbread better too.
Update.
Went to infection doc. She said me that it's very hard to say but it can be giardiasis, hard to diagnose it but you can try and treat method.
I'm on Flagyl (metro) 500 mg x 2 daily for 7 days.
I was healed with amox/ciprox/ppi last year when I have constant nausea that lasts 2 months. Never diagnosed with HP infection but I took those antibiotics and I was healed. Maybe I had another infection and these antibiotics destroyed them, I don't know exactly.
My story is just like a nightmare.
What do you guys think?
Constant nausea (specially after eating) and extreme tiredness/fatigue go on..
Hi,
Does itopride work good for you and makes your nausea less?
Thank you.
hi kit... im replying to your post from two years ago. you described symptoms you were having under right side ribs. those symptoms are the exact same as mine, and i do mean EXACT. i to have had all possible testing done with no explaination. im going on 8 months with the same symptoms. im wondering if you ever figured it out?
Sounds to me like your gallbladder.
I hope you have resolved the probkem now
