Thank you for your response. Interestingly enough yesterday, my neighbor friend gave me Nauzene tablets but they were way out of date. When I tried to order from Amazon, the ingredients changed and include now aspirin and caffeine which I think is counter intuitive. My neighbor's Nauzene was entirely different and included dextrose and levulose. I went to CVS yesterday but they didn't have the liquid form of the dextrose/levulose formula. I do drink Yogi or Tazo ginger tea. I looked at relief bands and my wrists are so tiny that I don't think it would work and I don't want to chance buying something for almost $250 and have to send it back. I have a TENS unit for my back and it is a nuisance to apply the sticky pads although I know the reliefband uses a gel. What is out there other than phenergan and zofran? Suggestions appreciated. I sent my Motility CRNP a portal message this morning explaining my concern as I am losing weight due to food turning my stomach. I had a clear ultrasound Friday and a good endoscopy a week ago. No clinical reasons for the way I feel but there has to be something. Thanks again for looking at my posting.

@tarmansbks Hi. Suzanne here. You have taken so many of the same steps I’ve taken to relieve my symptoms of chronic constipation that leads to an inability to eat. And weight loss. The FODMAP diet has helped and so has small frequent meals.
Learning how to eat like a bird is more difficult than I thought. We’ve been raised and socialized to eat three substantial meals a day. Ordering a meal when out with friends isn’t possible now. It requires a change of habit that fundamentally goes against the way we/I’ve lived for 70 years. But here I am fine tuning my diet.
A good rice, organic brown, basmati, red, black, I try to vary it so I don’t get sick of rice, is my retreat when I get out of wack.
I have swallowing problems, stomach emptying probs, and constipation. They’re all related. I take citalopram and Wellbutrin for depression and have reluctantly resorted to a weekly use of laxative hoping to give my gut some relief. Or am I doing more harm?
I’m sorry for your chronic nausea. That must be horrible to live with. But it certainly is a help to have a forum where we don’t have to be shy about discussing our issues. I feel nauseous when my stomach can’t take anymore food but I want to eat but I’m unable to.
Another contributing factor in my case is my years with bulimia, which is probably at the root of my issues also.
I hope you find what works for you. And I’ll share anything that might be helpful. For now, wishing you all the best.

Ginger chews, by Prince of Peace help my nausea, but just short term.
The Original classic Relief Band is only $129 and has an adjustable band for most any size wrist. It also allows you to replace batteries, which the premier version doesn’t. Its electric signal seems stronger too. It’s worth a try…works for many.
Compazine is in the same class as phenergan, but not as effective, for me.
Olanzipine (Zyprexa) is a powerful medicine against nausea. Combine with mirtazipine to spike your appetite. This combination saved me from becoming malnourished as a result of chronic nausea. The Scopolamine patch has worked for some folks, but not for me. Good luck with these. Let us know how it goes…we can go from there. BTW, what further progress have you made on finding a cause for the nausea? Have you recently discontinued any Rx medication?
