Persistent nausea

I, too, have recurrent multi-day episodes of nausea. Sometimes worse days than others. I heard a ve gastroparesis which is slow emptying of the stomach for which I take Reglan (metachopramide) and zofran which help. However, that doesn't explain the episodic nature of the symptoms. I recently met with a new gastroenterologist who has ordered a couple of test to see if we can find a cause. Results of one test show a high degree of inflammation. But that's just an indicator and not diagnostic. Next scheduled test is an MR Enterography for a detailed look at my small intestine and surrounding organs. To be continued.

I'm keeping a diary of foods I eat, exercise and levels of nausea to see if I might be able to identify a trigger food. So far high fat foods seem to be a problem--no more pizza or baby back ribs! I'm a double lung transplantee so I take many drugs which may complicate a diagnosis.

Inflammation.YES.That's partly what this virus does..it damages the immune response and allows the response to go crazy.Hence the BIG pain and such.It overreacts to inputs from the CNS.Fight or flight responses(some).It doesn't shut down when it's supposed to normally.Dr Paul anderson Youtube explains these episodes and what's happening.Targeted supplements worked for me..(I say worked,but I still have a few instances of SUPER MILD nausea sometimes.It's virtually gone at this point.Targeted supplements for the cells an systems.Honestly,you should google him.He's amazing and the REAL DEAL.He doesn't just tell us what to take...but WHY we're taking it...which is really nice.I would try to avoid prescriptions.Sometimes I needed these,but only for a short time.
