I have felt nauseous at times but never vomited once after jpouch surgery. And that was 28 years ago. It feels anything but natural to me.
I never vomited ither...its just makes me not want to eat.... 28 years?? Woow thats a long time...so you dont have any problems at all?...How many bathroom trips you go after that many years?... just curious to know...
Only time I've felt nauseous similar to how you've describe was when I was becoming severely dehydrated and didnt realise, which resulted in many admission into Hospital for IV fluids.
hummmm i didnt think of that...i drink water an Crystal light at least 60oz a day...is it possible i could still be gettinh dehydrated?
Hello, Mzmcgee1232.
Look at the label on your crystal light mix. It might have a huge amount of sugar. Even if it is sugar free, it uses chemical fake sweetener which is very hard on the body and hard to metabolize. Could the drink be causing your excessive gas?
I have also been dehydrated and had IV fluids in the hospital. One dr told me by the time I felt symptoms, drinking water would not help. I now take electolytes everyday. There are several choices at vitamin shop or online. I also ordered something called"salt stick caps" that are capsules with electrolytes--easy to take. NUnn tablets are also good. Drop in a bottle of water, very tasty. They also have electrolyte gummies which are easy to take when you are out.
Good luck.
Both times I was dehydrated, I did have to get IVs to get back on track. Then I started with the electolytes.
Since I have severe sinus issues, the post nasel drip will cause stomach issues and nausea. I have had 8 sinus surgeries and suffer terribly from severe allergies andmpost nasal drip. Try Zyrtec and see if that helps but see a really good ENT. Let me know if I can give you any other information.
@Winterberry thanks i have to go check that out!!! i drink tons of that...lol

Good luck! And feel better. I take XYZal which is by prescription. You can also take with the Claritin is Musenix or equivalent store brand. I take the XYZal, musinex and singular 365 days a year, my allergies are that bad!
