Hi, i have been suffering from EXTREME nausea for about a year now... I did all test possable and doctors find nothing. Well, they found a poly on my gallbladder. about a half a cm big, and they said this is not the cause of my nausea. Soo.,.. they gave me some nausea meds... which for some annoying reason they all dont WORK!! They tell me i am a very anxious person. However, i'm not anxious, i only get really anxious when im soo nauseaed. anyways, i was wondering if anyone has any ideas or home remedies i could try to help this nausea go away! Its soo horrable, its takeing over my life!! Well, thankyou and Godbless

Hi! Have you tried any herbs to relieve your nausea? As far as I know ginger and basil works wonders for both nausea and vomiting.

Ginger capsules are said to be better than nausea drugs and work quickly. They can be used for all sorts of nausea, like seasickness, post op nausea and vomiting, etc

Most of the drugs used to treat nausea will cause side effects like feeling weak and tired, heart palpitations or even blurred vision. Ginger doesn’t have these side effects. It is thought that it works in the digestive tract and not in the brains.

Besides ginger, you can get basil and have some tea of basil leaves. It also stops nausea and vomiting.

i haven't tried this myself, but i have read that charcoal tablets work by bonding to whatever it is that makes you feel sick, and because the body doesn't absorb charcoal, it just passes out of the body with the 'nausea' if you know what i mean.
i myself am lucky not to feel nauseous to often but when i do, it's due to a weak stomach resulting in diarrhea and i never vomit. the things that sometimes help me feel better are:

- ginger ale, let it go a bit flat and sip
- diet coke. my mother and most doctors would go mad if they saw that suggestion, but it helps if i sip that or 7UP. I read that sugar syrups (including soft drink concentrated syrups) help for some medical reason, so perhaps it's to do with that. you must let it go flat a bit or the carbonation might upset your stomach more. you can do this by emptying a little out of the bottle so that you can shake the contents more effectively. do this quite vigorously until it is reasonably flat and then sip
- sip milk because it is neutral and should help the acidity in your stomach
- nibble a piece of plain white bread
- concentrate on your breathing the way pregnant women do. i find if i stay sitting upright and then hold my breath as the next cramp seizes me, then let my breath out in the middle of the cramp, it slightly relieves it.

hope some of them help

I feel the same thing for many years. At first it was a lot worse. I had all kinds of tests made and I had nothing else but a mild gastritis. I took all kinds of medicines, nothing helped. My doctor told me, I think what you have is Psychological, I cannot help you anymore. So I went to a Psychiatrist (I never thought of myself as an anxious person). As I started to talk (after a few sessions), the nausea started to go away. It was incredible.

Now I have it only when I get very anxious (at least not all the time). I realized that I also swallow air when I`m anxious without noticing it, which makes me get bloated and even more anxious. It`s horrible, I feel like I`m going to be sick and sometimes that stops me from doing things or going to places that cause me anxiety ( I have agoraphobia, but that`s another story ).

They say ginger is really good for nausea, I haven`t tried it yet.

SO, check if a therapy could help you, you never know! Good luck! Wink
