Hi all

I have suffered with endo for long time now, however over the past year or so I have suffered really bad with sickness.

I get some kind of morning sickness when due on then all through the month i will have off days of feeling queasy or being very sick.

Been to my docs and they say it's connected. Just wondered if anyone else has or does suffer and if they know anything that can help please

Thank you lovelies xxx

It's horrible love. Mint tea helps but only once you can keep things down. I sometimes try just smelling it which eases the queasy feeling a bit. If I manage to find out anything else I will let you know hun xx

Hi I suffer from nausea and stomach pains so much I lost a stone in weight my pains are worse in the morning but they are nearly the only stomach pains I have now because I have cut out gluten from my diet and started eating healthier. I have a book that says cutting out gluten, cutting down on bovine dairy processed food sugar and eating healthier helps endo patients. I'd look into diets they might help.

Yeah I have cut out most dairy and only brown sugar. I seem to be losing weight but nothing is changing just gets worse. Thank you may habe to look at gluten next then xx

Cutting out gluten has actually helped the most so I hope it helps for you. I've also heard taking extra multi vitamins and minerals helps xx

Nausea is a new friend to me as well. Let me know also what helps.

Yup! I also experience nausea, I don't vomit though but feel I could sometimes. I find this is triggered by consuming certain foods 🤔but it's always the tastiest foods so it's hard to cut out! 😩 I have had to alter my diet quite a bit since diagnosis though. 😲xx

This is the worst symptom for me... i suffer from it most of the day, every day, its debilitating. Have you tried any prescription medication? I was given cyclizine by my GP, which does help although it can make you slightly drowsy!

I tried cutting out gluten, sugar, dairy... but nothing has eased this. The only time i get relief is when im on the mini pill or depo provera, which i cant take because im ttc.

Hope you find some relief... if you do you can share with me lol!

I have nausea alllll the time, it's horrible! The doctor says the reason is due to all of the inflammation from the endo. I take ginger and that seems to help only if it hasn't gotten to its peak. If anyone has any ideas on how to get rid of this horrible, horrible side effect please let me know!

I'm also in the nausea club (one of my worst symptoms after pain) and here are some things I've tried that help:

-Anti nausea bands (often advertised as travel sickness bands or seasickness bands) You just put them on your wrist and the press into a acpunture point that helps ease nausea. I'm not normally into alternative treatment stuff but I was so desperate for relief and gave it a go, only to be surprised it actually works!

-Having fresh ginger and fresh mint every day. If can't stomach eating can take in powdered in tablet form. Also works for bloating.

-Gingin sweets or Smints

-Taking prebiotics and probiotics

-Looking at medication consumption - is it a side effect of anything I'm on? Am I properly lining my stomach before taking harsh medications? Also taking omeprazole every day to protect my stomach lining.

-If all else fails - prescribed anti sickness medication from GP. Makes me drowsy so I try to avoid but it is a life saver on those awful days where nothing is taking it away.

I hope something in here helps you get relief from this horrible symptom!

I forgot - CBD also helps nausea!

It's horrible. I've suffered with this for 30 years since my periods began at 14 years old. The doctors diagnosed me with having reflux esophagitis as they could not diagnose the inflammation. I now know it's from the endometriosis. Same as the IBS they also diagnosed me with.

Being sick usually helps, but I have trouble eating when I have a flare up. I've been taking ginger, turmeric, bromelain and papin tablets for two months they seem to work well.

I cut out gluten and dairy for 15 years. My body rebelled against this about 4 years ago. I now eat in small doses. I don't think that the dairy free, gluten free diets worked very well for me. I also tried organic carrot juice it did soothe the ulcerative throat problem. I tried ginger biscuits and tea, but nothing really helped when I had a major flare up. Flat Coke or Pepsi helped after I was sick to settle my stomach.

When I get the annoying cough I have two table spoons of organic cider vinegar and two table spoons of fresh Lemon juice in a tumbler of filtered water. This stops the cough and settles the stomach.

I get that too. I think during ovulation and just before period it gets bad. I can feel so so sick like I need to vomit but I never do just because I'm emetephobic ha. It's not fun though

Aw bless you hun. I am so shocked and surprised at how many women get it to. It has never been mentioned to me that I could suffer with this. Only bonus is i seem to be losing weight lol xx

Yes i do. You are constipated. No doubt through either endo or adhesions restricting your bowels. Ginger helps me loads. I make a ginger and lemon tea. Also laxitives or just cutting back on how much i eat

Hi mazzda - i take Prochlorperazine (the ones that melt on your tongue as i cannot swallow when i feel sick). They taste awful but it distracts you from feelin sick. You maybe able to buy them over the counter now at a chemist rather than going to the doctor.

I dont know what I'd do without them

Xx

yes it can be so overwhelming and having suffered with End for over 10years its just trying to find what works best for you. I tend to have peppermint tea with lemon, if I can manage to eat then dry crackers helps. Smells can also set me off, I've not tried any anti sickness medication as I find the tea is great.
