Yes, I know exactly what you are talking about. I struggle with nausea, too. But then, during some of my worst days, I will go out and get an egg mcmuffin or something. (There must be something medicinal in those ;) ) Sometimes I feel like eating something like that helps the nausea, as weird as that sounds.

Here's what I've been up to: I waited for my nausea flare to diminish. It took about a week. Then I put myself on a gluten-free diet. My research has taught me that it isn't beneficial to eat less gluten. It's either all or nothing. So, I have completely given up gluten and am giving it at least a month. I've been doing it a little over a week and have already lost weight and have more energy. I do still have pain and nausea, though.

Something to keep in mind. I'll keep you posted on how it works. ;)

thanks hotchocolate. Yeah, I made an appointment yesterday with an allergist. I need to start digging into the whole food allergy thing. I was going to give up gluten because everyone on the board is big on that these days...but it's a tough one to do willy nilly plus...

interestingly enough I looked up "IBS ovulation" on google yesterday and a handful of web sites (message boards? I can't remember) said that the first thing to give up with this type of issue is dairy.

Dairy would be easier to give up...but I just need a medical opinion on this. The food allergy tests suck, but here goes.

Do you know for sure what food allergies you have? They need to do a blood draw on you for these ones, I believe. That's what happened to my friend. They still don't know why certain foods make her sickbut they think it could be yeast or gluten. But dairy is hard to cut too, because it can help with the nausea. Honestly, when I'm having really bad endo pains, I grab me a Fanta. It might also be my anxiety, but the carbonation just soothes my tummy and I throw on a heating pad and I eat edamame. That really helps me, because it's filling (and I don't add salt) and I tend to feel better. I also try to go for a walk when I'm in pain, because I hate sitting on my butt doing nothing, no matter how sick I am.
Hope this helpsI think just find a food that is filling and no gluten while they are trying to figure out what you're allergic to, so you don't get more sick. Somehow, the right foods have helped me to feel a little better. It doesn't go away, obvi, but it helps.
DON'T GIVE UP!!!!

Thanks Mama. True, I do feel better when I walk. Can't do heavy cardio because of my bad back caused by the endo...but walking does help a lot.

It's cool to read that I'm not alone on this issue because it seems to be I'm always hungry when I'm nauseous...

I have an appointment to see an allergist in a couple weeks, I'm going to do this properly...
