What Causes Nausea Inspite Of Being On Medication For Abscesses?

Posted on Sat, 11 Apr 2015

Question: HI, I am thirty-two and during the last year I have had four abcesses in my bottom which have been operated on and have either cleared or still have seetons for drainage. Whilst the surgery was necessary and hopefully eventually the pain will recede, I need to address the problem of IBS and try and make my stomach more comfortable at the moment I feel nausia after eating any food except meat! How can I stop the nausia and start eating more foods, I used to eat a lot of vegetables.
I would be so grateful for some help.

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for getting back with the details

From the history you have given me, here are my suggestions

1. Nystatin and electric cigarette both can contribute to your nausea especially Nystatin. I recommend you to be on atorvastatin with fenobirate, it has the same effect. I also recommend that you exercise daily

2. Disturbed sleep and irregular hours can cause reflux of gastric juice causing nausea. Please regularize your eating habits and sleeping habits as soon as possible

3. I strongly recommend you to use a proton pump inhibitor like tab omeprazole with domperidone combination once a day before food. This will take care of the nausea

4. Try bland food first, make sure it is not too spicy. Avoid milk, milk products and also juice of citrus fruits

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

Regards
