I have suffered with severe nausea for over two years but the last year has been a complete nightmare.

[MrsWizzy]

I had endo laser treatment 13 years ago and after being told I would be unlikey to be able to fall pregnant I have been so lucky to go on to have three children. All endo symptoms disappeared after the birth of my first child 12 years ago but have been gradually returning, I am now feel at my wits end

I started suffering from nausea over two years ago and have had all tests know to man on my tummy which have all been clear. The nausea has become so hideous over the last year and has completely taken over my life. I became very withdrawn last year, I didnt want to see anyone or do anything, everyday I was completely overwhelmed by it all. I was the lowest I have ever been. Mentally I have turned a corner since then, which is completely down to my husband being so supportive but when the nausea is really bad its so hard to not let it affect you.

I am a naturally tall and slim person my 'normal' weight is 9 and a half stone, I am now 7 and a half stone! I feel so self conscience of my weight and the doctors dont seem at all bothered about it! I feel as if I have been passed me from pillar to post and only now are they just starting to listen to me and take notice that it may be the endo that is causing all of this.

Has anyone else suffered with nausea this way? Mine seems to follow a similar cycle each month and is normally much worse before, during and just after my period and again it seems bad around the time of ovulation.

Very occasionally I can have 4,5 or maybe 6 days in a row where my appetite is completely normal, I feel hunger at the right times, I eat like a horse and can again enjoy my food. Then wham, It hits me again and I am back to square one

Thank you so much for reading, I would be so grateful for any help or advice.

Sorry to hear you have lost weight and feeling unwell. Does your stomach bloat at all, it could be a good idea to check your ovaries as it could be endo related. I have suffered from nausea recently and bloating and find my digestion is quite bad, I now have to have a mainly liquid diet during the day and a smaller meal in the evening and they will not send me for tests. I am trying to lose weight though, but it seems more like water retention. I hope you gat a scan or something, its not right to lose so much weight xxx

I suffered from nausea for years! My stomach was always bloated as well. Going gluten/wheat free has changes my life. It has solved both of those problems. In trying to follow the endo diet - the only part I struggle with is the no dairy part. I'm working on it though and I know once I can cut that out, it will help even more. Check out the link between endo and gluten sensitivity. Also, this nausea came on later in life - I wasn't always sensitive to gluten. Good luck!

Hi I also suffer with nausea which i can totally agree is hideous!! I really hope you get answers soon .

It can seem like ages for these things (going for the tests) to go through.. but i have also found that having a gluten free diet helps. I only recently came off the gluten free diet & now my pain & nausea has returned. I know it is probably also caused by a cyst & maybe endo (in my case).

The thing is that it theres soluable fibre & non solluable fibre, like oats., it seems that these are easily digested by the stomach & also are good slow release energy food. I tried having no dairy but i recently found out that Soya milk which i'd been taking has natural oestrogen in it so I'm not so sure this is good for me anymore..

Definately need to get this looked at asap! I really hope you feel better soon & get answers,

Also I used to take codeine which i found helped with the pain & Nausea.. its strong stuff though & isn't for everybody.

@Yellowrose, thanks it is encouraging to hear that nausea can go away with the cyst removal. i'm going to look into that myself!

Best wishes to all you awesome brave ladies out there

Hi, I had nausea for 3 months and couldn't eat much, it was awful and for me it had a really simple answer. I had acid reflux which stopped after taking strong antacids prescribed by the GP. I now still take them every day or it comes back. Worth a try, they are omeprazole, or just try gaviscon and see what happens. Apparently the valve at the top of the stomach can be affected by hormones.

My wife has had Nausea for over two years two. Hospitalized 4 times, and many doctors. They could find nothing. Last week I purchased Aloe Vera Juice. 2oz three times a day. The nausea was gone with the first dose, and has stayed away. We are in our late 60's and can now have a life again. Just wanted to tell others with the problem. Of course you should check with your doctor first, but it is a healthy alternative.

My wife has similiar symtoms like your wife. She's had every test in the world. After reading your comments I rushed out and bought her aloe vera juice. I pray it works for her as it does for your wife. Is she still doing ok?
