335 days after being cured and still constant nausea

[sks001]

Hi All -

I couldn't post a reply to my previous post "Still have constant nausea 90 days after taper - any advice?" further down in this discussion because it is locked ... so just thought I would start a new one as there hasn't been much lately on any of the forums about nausea. Have gone from 90 days to 335 days now since Vanco taper ended in June 2007 and doc said I'd be fine within a few weeks.

I have tons of hilarious jokes about lawyers that I'm sure most people have and email to friends & family ... think it's time for "most" doctors to be the brunt of jokes and their "Hypocrit" oaths - ha ha. Do I sound cynical?

If you are taking probiotics it could very well be the cause of your nausea. I have battled nausea now for 7 years on and off. My most recent nausea lasted non-stop for 2 weeks and the doctor said although I was not experiencing problems with Gerd that he felt that it was the cause of the nausea and increased my zantac to 300 mg per day. You know- he must have been right because it stopped within 2 days of the higher dosage. Also do you still have your gallbladder? Gallstones that are too small to cause you pain CAN and DO cause nausea in some people. I also experienced this prior to having mine removed in 2004. One thing that does help with my digestion ALOT is the only probiotic that has every helped me in any way and that is Natures Way Primadolphilus Reuteri. When taking it full time I can almost do away with the zantac. Any of the other probiotics have dealt me nothing but grief. Good luck.......nausea is horrible!

Cindy - I just answered yesterday your almost same comments under the topic Pancreas Page 2 in this forum about the gallbladder comment.

I didn't answer about the probiotic, but I've seen you & a couple others mention P. Reuteri many times, so I bought some but haven't taken it yet. Trying to figure out how to start taking one a day - with or w/o food -time of day, etc.

I've been taking Zantac 150 twice a day for two months, but hasn't helped and gave me headaches. GI Dr. just said to try Prilosec OTC to see if it's any better for me.
