IBS GIVING YOU NAUSEA? LEARN HOW TO MANAGE

Nausea and IBS

Overview:

• Nausea can occur with IBS (assuming NO OTHER conditions like migraine, ulcers, heartburn or dyspepsia).

• It's common, with 38% of women and 27% of men experiencing IBS-related nausea.

• Nausea usually follows eating and is associated with fullness, abdominal pain, and bloating. It may also be accompanied by vomiting, loss of appetite, and excessive burping.

Causes:

• Nausea can be triggered by foods that worsen IBS symptoms.

• Medications, including laxatives for constipation and new prescription medications, can also cause nausea.

• If common IBS symptoms are not present, other causes should be considered by a doctor.

Management:

• Over-the-Counter Medications:

• Gravol: Available in sedating and non-sedating (Ginger Gravol) forms. The sedating version can cause drowsiness and is not recommended for those sensitive to sedatives. Ginger Gravol is a better option as it's non-sedating.

• Pepto Bismol: Contains bismuth salicylate, an anti-inflammatory like aspirin, which might irritate the gut and is not specifically recommended for IBS symptoms.

• Holistic Approaches:

• Herbal teas such as ginger, peppermint, and chamomile.

• Peppermint oil.

• Probiotics.

• Gentle stretches and walking.

If these do not help and your IBS nausea gets worse, see your doctor to discuss trying prescription medications, and make sure there is nothing else happening.

Key Focus:

• Identifying and avoiding triggers that worsen IBS.

• Managing stress and dietary habits.

• Personalizing treatment plans for effective symptom management.

• IBS triggers can cause changes in bowel movements, leading to constipation or diarrhea.

• Finding individual triggers is crucial for managing IBS effectively.
