Jacquie802 Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Hi guys,I am just curious as to how many of you feel nauseaus after eating? I feel sick before I eat, but then after I feel worse....Is this something that goes along with POTS??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beccapooh Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Great question!! I've felt the same thing. I feel really, really tired after I eat and I've also been known to get outrageous pain in my chest and legs.I'm curious to know the answer. Thanks for asking such a wonderful question!!!Rebecca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSM3KIDZ Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 I think it sounds like slow gastric emptyingDayna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldicedance Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Chances are its related to POTS and the blood pooling in our stomachs after we eat as we digest the foods. That's why many doctors suggest that several small meals may be better than 3 large ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dionna Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 fainting, dizziness, lightheadedness, stomach aches, headaches, flushing, heat flashes, chills, weakness... all of those and more after eating. i always stay seated for a while after eating so i don't faint as often. i love to eat!dionna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariella Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 yesit may help to go easy on carbsI've been known to black out after a bowl of spaghetti (no,I'm not diabetic). Does funny things to my HR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzygirl Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 yeah i get like that.. before i realized that i had a problem with carbs (pasta-potato's..bread starchy stuff) i ate it like crazy.. I so LOVE pasta of any kind and butter bread...Now I hardly eat any starchy food.. and I've found that it helps abit with feeling sick after meals... also the eating small meals that does help too.. but i think its apots related thing for us.. and we are sometimes going to feel sick after eating.. regardless of waht we eat at times.. its just the body way of pulling our blood to our guts to digest food.. thus leaving us with less blood then before to circulate every where else that it needs to go.its s*cks I know.. hope you feel better dearhugsdizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaneEyre9 Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 I definitely feel sick after large meals, however, small meals tend to energize me. My symptoms are the worst when i haven't eaten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDJ Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I pass out after meals about 50% of the time. i stay away from large meals. I cannot have a hamburger w/o passing out,I have to eat 3 or 4 bites every hour or so. I try to eat a little bit all day long. This happens when I am very smptomatic. Not all the time. I could go months w/o having a problem or it could go on for mos.Good luck,Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
