Hi. I know you posted this quite awhile back. I was wondering what you found out. Reading your post sounds exactly like me. I am a 40 year old female with the same symptoms as you and lots of testing with no answers. I too was considering going to Mayo. Would love to hear from you.

Hello! my symptoms are very similar to yours! have you found anything out???? I have also had lots of tests done and all came back okay. I have a small polyp on my gall bladder and am beginning to think that is what is causing me issues. I want to get it removed but don't want to take it out if it is not going to help me. HELP!!

I too have sometimes severe nausea with acid reflux. I feel full after eating a few bites. I wake up very nauseated and it at times seems hard to swallow. My ultrasound came back normal. Should I just ride it out or waste money on a GI? I am wondering if it could be a false negative? anyone else with this issue?

Yes!! I was in the same position as you. I am also 20 and suddenly started having nausea everyday, multiple times a day, and nothing helped it. I lost about 30 lbs in two months because I could not eat anything. I would have a granola bar a day, and still feel sick. I had so many tests and procedures done and got so many wrong diagnoses. By the end I was literally in tears thinking I would never get better and hating that I was literally afraid to eat....I was afraid of food. I found a great doctor and had a HIDA scan done(not fun at all) and it showed issues with my gallbladder. I am scheduled to have it removed soon. I still suffer from a fear of eating, since for months I couldn't eat anything without being sick.

This is very similar to what I experience! I'm 20 and it started with upper stomach pain about 2 years ago, which I just now got diagnosed as gallstones. My severe nausea only started about a year ago, and nothing seems to help it, that's for sure! I can sleep pretty decently and about 15 minutes after I wake up, the nausea is right back. MOST of the time I can make it through breakfast, but every other meal sucks. I love food, and now I hate the thought of dinner most days. I just now took some ginger pills, they don't really seem to be helping however....
Any other solutions?
I also have an enlarged liver at 17.8cm and of course, gallstones. I'm only a 20 year old female.

Hello! I am 24 and I too have been suffering from severe nausea! It first started about a year ago as I had a couple of bad "attacks" where it was too severe to even walk. I was told that I had gallstones. After that month I had been feeling fine. No symptoms for about 8 months and then last week the monster returned! I am now nauseous all day long. And have found nothing that helps! I am very scared to go to the doc but I know Im going to have to go very soon to get this out! Are there any medications you found to be helpful??? Please let me know!!!!

Y'all can avoid all this unnecessary surgery, drugs, pain and suffering by going to a naturopath or holistic doctor. Yes, it's your gallbladder but the nausea can be relatively easily treated by someone who KNOWS what they're doing. Quit relying on doctors who only know how to treat the symptoms. Man-made drugs are just chemicals that poison your body!!!

I feel ya! This is how I feel. I get my stomach pain after eating very fatty meals, luckily I can avoid trigger foods and feel fine pain wise, but nothing stops the nausea, just pure luck! I've heard from some the nausea stops after you get rid of your gallbladder, but from MOST people it just stays there or worsens, and they also have phantom gallbladder attacks, so I'm going to keep mine unless it gets infected. Either way you have to change your diet, gallbladder in or out. I tried ginger pills, but they really did not help me much. I tried Zofran, Promethezine, and a few others and they do not help at all. I've yet to see any of the medications or hooha natural supplements work either. the only thing I can do is sleep and chew gum. Some days I get a break, some weeks I don't. Right now I am not nauseous. I really recommend chewing minty gum. I chew Dentyne ice and Orbit which are SUPER minty. I chew them for hours, and it DOES relieve the nausea maybe 5%. It's just to help, it doesn't get rid of it. Nothing does. I've also been taking Ranitidine every morning before I eat. It's an anti acid and some nausea sufferers said it worked. I think it might work a lil bit, but not enough to be a miracle drug. Try some severe anti acid meds. Ranitidane is Prescript, but its just a higher dose of an OTC anti-acid. Try those, and chew some sugar free gum, those are the only things that help me. haha

How did this turn out for your daughter? Did she have her GB removed and did the nausea go away?

Anyone had any updates as to what helps their nausea? Or were you diagnosed with anything? I still have gallstones, started getting really painful attacks a few weeks ago, but have yet to remove it from hearing horror stories of post op gallbladder removal. I am severely nauseous all day, but some days it does ease up and I can do things, but nothing seems to be related to it. I just had a CT scan a few days ago and it DID NOT show the gallstones as the ultrasound did back in April! I do have an enlarged liver of 19cm, and I am a female, 21 yo, and would be healthy if it were for upper stomach pain and severe all day nausea! Can an enlarged liver PLUS gallstones cause nausea? I have found no other diagnosis.
Tests done:
CT Scan of abdomen, all normal except enlarged liver, did not see gallstones ultrasound found almost a year ago.
Multiple blood tests, all perfect and negative
Abdominal Ultrasound: Gallstones and Enlarged liver (April 2015)
Am currently on: Birth Control, Levothyroxine, Sprinolactone, Ranitidine,
my doctor cannot figure out why I am always nauseous, he has suspected my birth control, but I've been on it for a couple of years now, and it wouldn't make much sense as to why it would start making me this ill now.
If anyone has any answers, please post!!

My 16 year son had continuous vomiting for about 8 months. Initially the episodes would be sporadic, but eventually the symptoms coalesced and always began Monday and finished on Fridays, leaving him relatively healthy for the weekend. Lots of tests initially, but they all came back normal. He was diagnosed with cyclic vomiting syndrome and was on a host of anti-emetics, but eventually none of the medications worked. At that point, we figured the vomiting was anticipatory, and was due primarily to a conditioned response, similar to what happens to patients who receive chemotherapy (think Pavlov's dogs). Once nausea and vomiting becomes anticipatory, medications no longer work, and behavioral strategies are more effective to break the conditioned response. Strategies that are helpful include progressive muscle relaxation and hypnosis to achieve a relaxed state and then visualizing the "triggering" exposure is helpful. In my son's case this was going to school on Monday morning. After a few hypnosis sessions and taking him out of a class with a teacher he especially disliked, his vomiting completely stopped completely. Since then an abdominal ultrasound revealed a polyp, but he is still not experiencing any symptoms. The point of this is that even though you might have taken care of the underlying problems that causes the nausea and vomiting, for some people an added layer of conditioning may be causing problems. To address that you might have to consider behavioral interventions to break the conditioned response. Best of luck to everyone.
