Chronic Nausea

Posted by bobbiejean @bobbiejean, Jan 31, 2017

I had major surgery for stomach cancer seven years ago. Since that time I suffer from chronic nausea. I have taken many different medications, but nothing helps. Does anyone have this same problem? Has anything helped control the nausea?

I had chronic nausea with my diagnosis of MALS, it will sneak up on me sometimes. I always have a strong ginger-ail to sip on like Reeds, Flat Regular Coke helps, Ginger Candies to suck on, but my favorite is Quease Drops. I order them on Amazon. You can also find them at Mayo Gift shops sometimes. https://www.amazon.com/Three-Lollies-Queasy-Assorted-Nausea/dp/B009FEO8DC/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1485893759&sr=8-2&keywords=queezy%2Bdrops&th=1

My cancer was in the upper part of my stomach close to my esphogaus. They removed much of my esphogaus and stretched my stomach up to meet a very short esphogaus.
I have tried some diet changes. I restricted my sugar and tried to go dairy free. Neither one changed things that much. Because I am nauseated most of the time I tend to eat things that taste good to me. I did go to the Mayo Clinic about three years ago. The only new thing I learned was that I have dumping syndrom. They tried to help me with medication, but nothing has helped. I know that I have taken at least 15-20 different medications without positive results. I now take dexilant, lorazepam and nortriptyline. I can't really say they are helping much. I at a point where the doctors say they really can't help me. They say the change in my anatomy is causing my problems. I hope this information helps you to understand my problem.
