Suggest Treatment For Persistent Nausea And Weight Loss
Question: Hi. I've been seeing a doctor 11 mon the and it's slowly getting worse. Nausea all the time. Vomiting between 5 and 7 pm stomach acid. Constant can't take a breath once it starts. I have non cancer barret and GERD. Take 20 mg ppi. Doesn't help. Am on vegan similar diet. Keep losing weight. Have small hiatal hernia. I'm 5'2" 125 lb, power walk daily, bike, golf used to. Nausea makes it hard.
Thank you

Brief Answer:
Avoid stress.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone very carefully through your query. Your problem seems to be due to gastritis or gastroesophageal reflux. Our gastrointestinal tract has a forward propulsive movement (peristalsis) that moves the food material forward as it is digested, absorbed and finally expelled as feces. If somehow this movement gets hampered, food along with the digestive juices would stagnate, stomach acid will reflux into the food pipe and on the other hand the bowel habits would not be proper. The gastritis component aggravates the vomiting even further.
In order to relieve yourself, you need to do the following:
* Avoid spicy food. Take small but frequent meals. Avoid long gaps between meals.
* Avoid alcohol intake (if it a part of your habit).
* Continue to take omeprazole once daily before breakfast. Also take the other mentioned medicines.
* Take plenty of green leafy vegetables as well as other sources of dietary fibers. Take fiber supplements like isabgol/psyllium husk or senna. I would insist you to increase your dietary fibre intake.
* Regular morning walk and exercise to keep the bowel movements proper.
* If I had a patient like you I would perhaps have suggested Prodep 20 mg tablet once daily for at least 2 months (it may take time for the action to set in).
* Take curd or yogurt on daily basis. It contains beneficial bacteria and should help.
* Avoid stress.
* Yoga and meditation can help.
Hope that helps.
Let me know if I could help further.
