Food makes me sick (literally)

[smilan 1]

I'm having a problem. :thumbup: For the last two days anything I eat makes me nauseous. After two or three bites of any food I am feeling sick. Today I have had four spoons of oatmeal, a pack of crackers, and three spoons of activia yogurt. I have no idea what could be the problem, but it's starting to scare me. Has anyone ever had this problem. Thanks for your input.

From your weight loss it looks as though you have been banded for a while. Congrats!

Is it possible you have encounter a stomach bug? It might not be band related at all.

I was awakened Saturday morning at 2am with bad nausea and other intestinal upset.

Since it was hours after I had eaten, I knew it wasn't band related, but I ended up at urgent care 12 hours later. I have a nasty bacterial infection.

They considered the band in their initial diagnosis, but it was rapidly ruled out.

A call or visit to your doctor might be in order.

I hope you are feeling better soon!

Wow you know now that you mention it...I am currently fighting a bacterial infection after a breast reduction surgery. I have been dealing with it for about a month now. Maybe the nausea is just now kicking in. I have an appointment with my doc on Wednesday. I'll ask about it then if it's still a problem. I just managed to eat a piece of toast with no problems. I hope it just goes away on it's own.

They told me to try the BRAT diet. Bananas (can be hard with a band), rice, applesause, and toast.

But that might have been for the lower GI tract. :thumbup:

Hope you are feeling better soon!

If you are taking antibiotics for your infection, they could be causing your nausea, as well. Many antibiotics can really make you feel sick.

Yes, that was my first thought, if you are on anti-biotics it could be that

I have decided anti-biotics are EVIL!

After taking them in March for a sinus infection, I am now fighting a C. Diff. infection, thus am back on them. Not to mention the yeast infection I get every time I take them.

Yep, gotta love them!

At the risk of sounding like a commercial, I just wanted to mention that there are over-the-counter cherry chewable tabs called Nausene that are really helpful for this and are band friendly. I have used them a few times over the last few years and they have helped. I found them at Walmart and the local grocery store so they must be fairly common.

I hope you feel better soon.
