Guest guest Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 Hello Mikael, For me nausea is common with pancreatitis. I take reglan for my nausea.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2003 Report Share Posted March 4, 2003 I have had nausea all along. It used to happen about every 4-5 weeks I would throw up for about 2-3 days. I even went back to my doctor at s Hopkins, Dr. Kalloo and told him. He said nausea wasn't anything he could help me with. Didn't go along with pancreatitis as far as he was concerned. I wonder why I threw up for 3 straight days after my ERCP with acute pancreatitis. I finally got in with my GI doctor, and he agreed to treat me for the nausea and give me phenergan which is a GODSEND. I have recently had some bad days, it's hard to even write on the computer when I'm feeling that bad. But better today...It's so important to remember that the bad days pass.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Maggie, I am sorry that you are having so much trouble with nausea. That is, unfortunately, an expected side effect of Pancreatitis. There are several reasons for this and several things you can do to help relieve the problem. With the pancreas producing limited enzymes, there is a back up of undigested food in the stomach and intestine. That is good that the doctor has you on enzymes. Which ones are you taking, Creon or Viokase? Are they pills or capsules? In the beginning I was on Viokase, the pills, and needed to take a lot of them every time I ate. Now I take Creon, the capsules. I increase the number I take when I get nauseated. I was once placed on generic Creon, but they did not work, as I remained nauseated, so the doctor switched me back to the real Creon. There is literature to support that. Even though I have " end stage " Pancreatitis, and am in pain 24/7, there is still some semblance of periods of ups and downs. When I am having a worse time, I get more nauseated. I take liquid Zofran for my nausea. Phenergan does not help. I am fortunate because my insurance pays for that. Many other medications can cause nausea, especially when taken on an empty stomach, like pain medications. Always try and take a pain pill with a cracker and that will help. I also stop eating all regular food and stay on liquids or semi-soft food like yogurt and slow cooked oatmeal. Everything has to be bland, that mean s no pepper, or spices. There are some people who eat " baby food " because it is soft and bland, but healthy. I only do this for three or four days, because I will get malnourished. Dehydration can cause me to be nauseated, too. So, I make sure I increase my fluids I drink. I stick to water and herbal non caffeinated teas. No cokes, coffee, beer, or alcohol. The stomach content tend to be acidic because of how the food breaks down. That can bubble up and cause me indigestion and make me nauseated, too. I find if I drink a carbonated drink, like Perrier, or just carbonated water. Tonic water and club soda can be okay, but they don't seem to help me, as much as the naturally carbonated waters. The waters are alkaline and seem to neutralize the stomach contents. The stomach drains into the small intestine which comes out towards the right side of the stomach. I find that if I lie down with my head slightly elevated, on my right side, the stomach can drain better. And, lastly, I use massage to alleviate the nausea. It relaxes me, but it also has homeopathic abilities and with applying acupressure (vs acupuncture) similar results can be achieved. I add reflexology to this, as well. It works better to have someone else do this, but I am able to do it, also. I carry a reflexology card in my wallet to remind me where the acupressure points are. Of course, relentless nausea can be a sign of a more serious condition. In the event that I have vomiting and can't stop I go to the doctor or the hospital for IV fluids. There was one instance when the nausea was too intense, too long, and I was put on Hyperalimentation (or TPN) to completely rest the gut. This is a little drastic, and is a last resort, as it has its own complications. One more thing, I also use ginger to treat nausea. I bought some crystallized ginger that I can let dissolve in my mouth, as opposed to the large ginger root or powdered ginger. It works very well, especially in combination with the other above recommendations, rest, relaxation, soft music, dim lights, light massage, visualize gentle thoughts, etc. Let us know how it goes, Karyn Karyn E. , RN Founder / Executive Director Pancreatitis Association International Corp.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2003 Report Share Posted April 1, 2003 Margaret, If you have been DX with Pancreatitis, unfortunately nausea goes along with the pain the we get with the pancreatitis. Even with enzymes such as your Ultrase, it just helps with digestion and doesn't do anything to help with the nausea. If it continues, contact your doctor and let him know that your nauseated and let them RX your something for it. I take generic Compazine and when it's very bad I take generic Phenergan which makes me very sleepy and I have to go to bed when I take it. Others have had luck with Raglan or Zofran (which I do have some samples, but I don't take it very often because very expensive and my insurance doesn't cover it, but it does help a lot and does make you sleepy.) These are just a few of the nausea medicines on the market, so I'm sure that your doctor will be able to help. I hope this has shed a little light on your problem and you know that your not alone with your nausea problem and it almost always is worse with me after I eat.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Can anyone tell me if and how nausea can be related to thyroid or adrenal function? R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 One more thing--when the body is trying to deal with a sluggish adrenal, it can neglect other processes such as digestion, and that can result in gastroinestinal stress, which could include nausea. Also, since low blood sugar can be a result of poorly functioning adrenals, nausea can also be a side effect. One of the symptoms of s Disease is nausea, as well. On 's site (he's the guy who is versed on adrenal fatigue--http://www.adrenalfatigue.org), in with all his adrenal support products is a product for motion sickness--i.e. nausea. As far as hypothyroid, since untreated or undertreated hypo slows your system down, it can also slow the gastric emptying time...and I can see this causing nausea in certain susceptible women. I have noted that certain thyroid preparations that are OTC list nausea as a side effect. Those are a few thoughts that I hope help.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Definitely. Nausea is a symptom of low cortisol. People with s suffer with this a lot. Nausea is a very common symptom of adrenal hypofunction, which is often tied to thyroid treatment. Dose raises, stress, illness, mornings, big meals, meals with too much sugar or carbos, forgetting adrenal support, can trigger nausea due to these thing's stressing the adrenals.
