What Causes Nausea And Impacted Bowels?

Nausea
I have been nauseated for a month and a half now. I have been back and forth to my doctor and to the ER. At first my doctor thought it was a sinus infection. The antibiotics did not help and she prescribed Miralax because maybe I was constipated. Still no change. The second time I went to the ER they finally did x-rays and said that my whole entire colon is filled with impacted bowels and to take miralax. (which hasn't helped me) they said all my blood work looked fine and my pregnancy tests were negative. My doctor keeps trying to say its GERD but I dont think so. She wants me to have an Endoscopy done. Im only 19. What could be going on? Could I be pregnant and its not showing up yet or is it the impaction? I can barely eat or drink anything im always nauseated. The only time in not is when im sleep or if I dont eat.

Hello, thank you for putting your trust in our site, my name is Dr.Soliman and I will be glad to answer your question.

First, pregnancy blood test will get accurate results within 7-12 days after conception, so we have to exclude the pregnancy option.

Second, GERD is characterized by a number of symptoms that include dysphagia which is difficulty swallowing, sore throat with sour taste in mouth, regurgitation of food and sour liquid (acid reflux)and what you feeling is just nausea after any meal, so I don't think GERD is the rightful diagnosis, the impacted stools in colon might affect the peristaltic movements of the entire GIT and any food enters the tract cause discomfort and upset and in your condition nausea, the endoscopy suggested by your doctor is considered a great diagnostic tool to identify the pathology causing this chronic nausea.
Try using metoclopramide 10 mg 30 minutes before each meal 3 times a day for regulating the gastro intestinal tract peristaltic tone and prevent the nausea as possible, and also try to eat small full of fibers meals, and avoid fried and fatty meals.

I hope this answer fulfill your query and if you are satisfied with the answer please consider giving 5 star rating , and feel free to ask any additional questions and I will gladly help you with an answer.
