Help with Nausea feeling

I was admitted to hospital at the end of July with a blockage in the bile ducts, I have had an ERCP and told I am now awaiting a spyglass investigation before any treatment for the clearing the bile ducts. I have a continuous nausea feeling which has become unbearable if there anything to stop this or help?

From experience, flat cola settles my stomach. Get a bottle shake it up till flat .helps me .

Kind regards Andrew

Good morning DLT1979,

I am sure our lovely forum members will share their home remedies but if you have persistent nausea, May I suggest you arrange to speak with your GP who can perhaps offer prescribed medication/ treatment.

Take care,

Hi DLT sorry to hear that. I had Vanishing Bile Duct Syndrome as a result of a bad reaction to an antibiotics. One of my symptoms was extreme nausea, everything made me sick even the smell of my poor dog!

What worked for me was cutting out fat from my diet altogether and eating 6 small meals each combining protein and carbs. However, this was on the advice of a liver specialist dietitian so I would advise getting professional help before you try this. I lost a lot of weight rapidly as a result of my bile blockage and was on the moderate/severe scale for malnutrition. Supplements helped but, as I couldn't tolerate fat, it was a slow process. I am doing much much better now, my liver is making a good recovery and I hope yours will too

I wish I could help- i have complete sympathy for the nausea/itching/fatigue that comes with blocked bile ducts. And no suggestions for nausea either (prescription meds didnt help) except to say try to eat something- if only a couple of plain biscuits or similar- otherwise the nausea will be even worse.I've struggled since April 2019 with blocked bile ducts, feeling so rough nearly all the time . But eventually (after other unsuccessful ERCP procedures in my local area) I was referred to Guys and St Thomas for Spyglass EHL and have had two procedures under general anaesthetic ( October 28th and December 9th ) recently.

Guys and St Thomas have been absolutely marvellous.

Some of the stones were fragmented and removed though I still need at least 1 or 2 more procedures in the New Year, covid permitting. But the doctor did insert 2 stents on both occasions and it has made all the difference in the world to me . I feel like a different person.

I hope you can get your Spyglass procedure as soon as possible - this is what you need to get you back to normal.

My very best wishes to you. Julie

HelloI was pleased and encouraged to read what you said about the spy glass. I originally had a blocked bile duct and was extremely poorly in hospital. I had an ercp where loads of stones were removed. Subsequently I had my gall bladder removed with more stones. I felt fine for 9 months and then I began getting what felt like the same pains that I'd previously had.

Anyway, eventually, following another ercp, I have been diagnosed with liver stones and am waiting a spy glass procedure at Addenbrookes. Goodness knows when that will happen with Coronavirus. I seem to have both good and bad spells. I guess that the stones move about.

Thanks
