Hi,

Any tips for nausea? I have gastritis but have a lot of the same symptoms as GERD (burning, need to burpi, etc). My main symptom is nausea. Anyone have any tips? I switched PPIs recently and take lots of zantac and tums, but just wondering what others do for the nausea.

Ok so Lu i totally understand not going to a chiropractor. Believe it or not a chiropractor was the reason my digestive health spun out of whack so trust me when i say i understand. This type of Doctor is actually a MUSCLE ONLY. meaning they do not adjust you! Believe it or not when i went to a chiropractor my body hurt from head to toe due to a lot of trauma and i always had mild nausea, heart burn acid reflux etc but it wasn't till after going to a chiropractor for 1 week that my gerd and nausea got severe as well as hipoglycemia and everything else began and things went straight down hill.So trust me! I understand not wanting to be adjusted due to sensitive nerves which is a sign for sure. Apparently when your muscles get under stress they can be shut down. & like i said i already had over 60 muscles shut down before going to the first chiropractor. My spine is actually wedged up on my skull, crooked and all as well as hips out of line etc. I then finally got introduced to this guy thank God. Would love to help you out. All he does is Press on one insertion of the muscle and then holds the other (which you will feel it is very very sensitive in the places he knows are locked down and not working properly as well as you will know it and feel immediate difference. All i can say is if you press on your body and on your stomach and your body cracks every where and is very sensitive then i would definitely reach out to me. other than that i hope you have a blessed Life and i Pray you find an answer to get your body working properly again :)

Hi lu2013... I take a nausea pill called Compazine and it works really well. I hope you can get it. Hugs GB

Thanks for the replies. Grammybear, I'll mention that med to my GI next time I contact him.

As an update, the 2 PPI a day has lessened the nausea, but it's beena week now, so back down to 1 PPI a day starting today. Will see if the nausea returns. (Well, I did still have it off and on, but less than before increasing to 2 PPI...and i didn't even take zantac during that time)
