[Jenn100 1]

Need help urgently.....I am taking my Nexium faithfully...but the last two days have been feeling like I want to throw up. Today after my Protein shake....the nausea was back and I actually dry heaved...OMG....I am so freaked out......what do I do? Can I take something else for the nausea? Any suggestions would be helpful....

I believe Jenn, you need to contact your doctors. Protein Shakes make me nauseating. I don't know why. I suffered from nausea only for the first three days post operative then I am fine.

Try to get a prescription from your doctor for phenegran. It's way cheaper than Zofran and works well.

You body may not like the whey or soy Protein in the Protein shakes. My stomach cramps with almost all the Protein mixes/drinks regardless if I mix them with milk or Water.

Phenegran is a great anti-emetic drug, but it can cause drowsiness. I was on Zofran, and while it is expensive, it saved me from being so sick all the time. My insurance covered the Zofran so I didn't care about the cost.

I'm not sure what food stage you are on, but try to isolate what is making you nauseous. Like tomorrow, try to only drink a certain liquid, or eat one type of food. Food/ingredient intolerances are very common. I dealt with them for a couple of months, and I had a hard time trying to figure out what was triggering my nausea. Luckily, I just stuck to one flavor of Crystal light, or one flavor of Jello some days to make sure my body could tolerate them. If the next day, I tried something new, and I felt sick, I quit eatinging/drinking it.

Go back to your surgeon! Don't self medicate or try to mask the symptoms - it's not worth the risk. The sooner you do the quicker you will find out if there's something more serious going on or not.
