jjb Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Does anyone ever have days where they have multiple but brief episodes of nausea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayjay Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Funny - right now i have this! Sometimes is goes away entirely but last winter I had this problem every day. It felt like the "morning sickness" that I had with my first pregancy. I eat saltines and cheese sticks.Last night i had a can of chicken noodle soup. I don't think it really helps me to eat these things- It just is a placebo effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potsgirl Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 At least a couple of days a week. I'm really not sure what causes this, but it certainly can be annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjb Posted October 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 How brief are your episodes & how many per day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delphicdragon Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Yep, count me in on this one too. They usually last a maximum of 20 mins, especially if I make sure and lie down immediately when they start. I get them anywhere from 0 times per day to 3 or 4 times, usually 1 or 2 times. They tend to occur at night or after a big meal, though sometimes they hit mid-morning, especially if my stomach has been allowed to be empty for too long.Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I have this from time to time. Usually not too extreme, haven't vomited or anything. Kind of goes along with a mild dizziness feeling for me. For me it tends to be mild enough that I can ignore it, though it is uncomfortable.

MomtoGiuliana Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Yes, I also get this. Brief and mild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkerbella Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I feel so and car sick and nauseou that I have to carry a little basin in my bag as now. I feel like I might get sick in someone's cab or car. Better to be safe than sorry.bellamia~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken_Shell Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 It seems like I often get nauseous after I have a BM. I also have episodes of nausea independent of the BM's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juliegee Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Yeah, I occasionally get really, really severe nausea fora brief moment or two. I only get it when all of my dysautonomia symptoms are flared. I've always suspected that it's a brief episode of retrograde GI propulsion. My son has small bowel dysmotility and he's had oodles of testing. During a 24 hour period, he had 6 episodes of retrograde movement in his GI tract. Exactly when he reported feeling the worst nausea- he had to keep a log.Retrograde propulsion is when the food in your GI tract actually goes the wrong way. When it's full blown it results in vomiting. Yuck!Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajw4790 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I do, but for me it is linked to acid reflux type issues normally causing me to feel nausous.OR I also get it when I drink hot liquids, I can get extreme nausea, and gagging, but not actually vomit. I am better with this now, but I used to not be able to tolerate any hot liquids. Hot tea was the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly as you describe. Would you say it is our EDS or our POTS or both?Janey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if this is true?Janey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janey Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Hi JJB,My EDS Doctor told me that most nausea associated with dysautonomia is more likely to be EDS than autonomic bowel problems. I know there are times when the whole body is thrown into disorder and food just doesn't go down, but I'd imagine that our brief episodes of nausea are EDS-based.Janey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
