Over the past few months my tastes in food, drink, etc., have changed drastically. Things I used to love to eat and drink have started making me nauseaus, and just really don't taste good to me anymore. I am 51 years old and have never had these things happen to me before.Iused to enjoy pork, now it only takes a few bites and I feel like I am going to throw up. The same with alcohol. Beer, to be specific. I really use to enjoy having a few beers in the summer on a hot afternoon, or after a long day. My hubby and I would sit on the porch and just relax together with a couple of beers. I also have trouble with nausea just washing over me out of the blue. I take prilosec 2 times a day, and tums when it hits me unexpectedly. Is this a FM thing or maybe it's my tummy getting bad from all the drugs I have taken over the years. I know I am probably going to have to go to the doc, but he's out of town for the next couple weeks. Does anyone else have these troubles? If so, what have you done to stop the nausea? Thanks for any help you can give me. Hugs to you all. Cheryl

I have the same problems at times. it comes and goes for me, so stuff I used to love tastes like crap. and I find myself getting more nauseous than not some days. I think the fibro really changes everything in our bodies.

have you had ur tummy checked to see whats going on ?? there was a time when If I smelled the food while it was cooking, the nausea would kick in and I could Not eat...made it quite interesting for me !!

not like that anymore...don't know what caused it, don't know why it went away...

we are biological creatures, many things can go wrong at any given moment...I Hope this goes away for you...perhaps Look into natural remedies for heart burn, perhaps the meds themselves are causing this ?? even IF you have been on them a Long time...side effects can still occur...Nausea is a Side effct of the drug...

my daughter has suffered heart burn and acid reflux forever it seems...but soon found out after starting the meds, once she ate, she would go screaming for the bathroom...caused tummy upset and major Diarrhea in her...so she went to natural remedies...she still has attacks, but can eat a meal anyway !!

She Loves Pickles...Munches on them several times a day !! but some people just put a teaspoon of vinager into a glass of water and drink it a few times a day...yukk I know, but from what I have heard is Very effective...and has good Blood cleansing properties as well !!

Thanks for your comments. It is just so strange to not be able to eat foods I used to really like. I did kinda think it was the Fibro, my daughter has been having nausea too, lately. She and I have a lot of the same Fibro things going on. Hopefully this all knocks it off, soon. I know I need to lose weight, but not this way, darn it! Lol! Thanks again for your comments! Cheryl

same here with some of my foods. i used to HATE sweets including chocolate. now i tend to crave it for some reason. i don't know if it's the meds or just me.

oh and for nausea days, try sipping on ginger ale, and drink ensure if you don't wanna eat. you gotta keep nutrition coming in even if you don't wanna eat. and i eat apple sauce too on those days. helps soothe me.

I have had nausea for the last month ..My Dr is completly baffled but she has prescribed a anti nausea med it works so well.Its called Promethazine.I take 25mg three times a day..I would be in big trouble if I didnt have it..

I get the nausea too and reflux,which is something I had NEVER suffered with before.I do find things tastes different now but not sure if it is the meds or the FM.
