Nausea Issues / Lactose Intolerance?

[AJohnsy]

Glad to hear that the Prevacid is helping a little.

I have had similar issues in the past, and to avoid it I eat pretty bland. (I can't even have pepper as a garnish!) Its boring, but it helps with the acid reflux.

Also, in the meantime, Alka Seltzer has a really great "fruit chews" product. It tastes like candy, works super fast, and it doesn't leave you feeling bloated or empty like some of the others can. its great for a quick rescue!

Hopefully things remain somewhat calm! Best of luck!

That's very cool.. I've never heard of that.  Thank you!  I'll try to locate those at the store.

There are a number of other Intolerances
Fructose/Fructan Intolerance.
sorbital and xylitol Intolerance.
gluten intolerance.
Egg intolerance.

Some times the only way to tell what causes your intolerance is to keep a diary of the ingredients of every thing you eat and when.
many things with gluten also have Fructose.(High Fructose Corn Syrup )

I am sorbital and xylitol Intolerant and a diabetic that had been using products with sorbital for years till one day

All artificial sweeteners make me sick and they are in so many things.The proteins in raw onion really hurt me even though I love onions. Some onions even cooked hurt me.

[augoldminer]

the only artificial sweeteners i can now use is splenda and raw onions have always disagreed with me.
i have no problem with well cooked onions.

Most of the other artificial sweeteners are not sweet but taste really bad.

Aspartame or saccharin is extremely bitter to me.

Any aged in a barrel alcoholic beverage is bad tasting .  moonshine taste good.

I've been having issues too with an increase in nausea and stomach pains. I do have GERD and gastritis and just had a scope done to recheck. Still the same, but I did notice that milk and beef where two things that make it worse. So I now use Lactaid milk (tastes pretty good too) and have avoided beef (prefer chicken anyway, but am missing a good meatloaf, guess it's a turkey meatloaf for me. lol)

Also, since I have issues with dizziness my gasto put me on Antivert and that seems to have decreased the dizzyness, so guess I gotta make an aptt with an ENT doc. Yay, another dr!

Anyway, for the GERD I am on Protonix twice a day and don't seem to have any issues unless I do something stupid like a lot of pizza or red sauce.

I have had nausea many times over the last 25 years of having FM/CF and sometimes it lasts a week or so and sometimes much longer. One time I had it for six months straight and when I get it it is 24/7 no real let up it just varies in intensity. It has the same feeling as food poisoning. I have had all the tests under the sun to rule out all other diseases known to mankind and it all seems to come back to a nerve located in my neck. If anyone else experiences nausea, just think about if your neck and head are tight and there may lay the problem.

Thank you Tex!

I get nausea every day if I wake up prior to 9 am or so. I have noticed an intolerance to milk and cheese. I use soy, almond, or soy. Cheese is only bad if I am eating like a frat boy. Heh.

I eat meat rarely. I usually avoid beef on principle, but sometimes I get a craving. Eat beans and cottage cheese for protein. And fish sticks!!!! Sometimes chicken, bacon or peanut butter.

Since moving to South Carolina, I lost my allergies to pollock and bleach. Still very gassy, though, lol

My eating habits are more motivated by trying to avoid a heart attack. Haven't had any acid reflux type since I dropped the beef for the most part.

Diet means a lot! I just dont have the will power,that takes energy!
I eat lots of sugar,sometimes its all that will stay down! This has got to be bad...

[Jasshook]

I know! My chik fil a craving usually gets the best of me lol.

[looneylane]

I want to try Chik Fila I have had several friends say it is real good! Then again I want to try some of those famous new york deli sandwiches as well

.    I'm managing a bowl of cereal (basic -4) sprinkled with the powder carnation instant breakfast,adding about a cup of almond milk or silk! A couple of cups of coffee 🍵 one sugar and a splash of milk and that is what I eat and drink for a day, it's just getting better,I'm forcing the cereal and might miss one or two days a week!

  I don't feel good....im hurting I'm always too tired to eat 🍴. I know I have to do better. My doctors worried about my minerals lacking more than anything else. I need to get to a state where the munchies are legal. My old doc ,ten years ago, prescribed"Merinol" I gained about twenty pounds and had less pain and slept better..a prejudice against marijuana mental health worker made up a story about my being abusive behavior and the doctor took me off immediately because he was prescribed it for "failure to thrive" to get the insurance company to pay.

.     Ten years later,I'm starving again. Oh. I'm a drug 💊 seeker. Take me off merinol and put me on oxycontin and now the mental health worker and the insurance company are happy 😊 true story.
Unbelievable how much you get labled.
