I'm 40 years old and for the last two years my symptoms have gotten worse. the nausea is almost everyday. I tend to be on the constipated side of the spectrum but now it's getting to the point that I am starting to wonder if what I am experiencing is in fact IBS. It's just been too long to be sick. I was just given a prescription for dicetel. I am reluctant to try it because the effects are just as bad as those that I experience daily. Could someone please give me some feedback on the drug as well as some hope.

I know what you're going through. I'm experiencing every day nausia as well. I just want to get rid of it already...

Nausea is not an IBS symptom but constipation certainly is.

Nausea is the pneumogastric nerve acts up to try to get rid of something that you ate. It could be gastitis.

To have normal BMs everyone needs 25 to 35 grams of fiber in their diet.
It needs to be a combination of both soluble and insouble fiber.

All meats, seafood and all dairy products contain NO fiber.

Insoluble fiber causes the intestinal muscle to contract and move food through your intestines and soluble fiber absorbs fluid and bulks up your stool.

Insoluble fiber is all fruits, veggies, nut, seeds and the bran in cereals and the out side of beans and peas.

Soluble fiber is the inner part of grains, beans, peas and root veggies, also-- water soluble fiber supplements like Metamucil, Citrucel, Benefiber and Fiber Choice.

Most people don't intake enough soluble fiber in their diet.
It is OK to take a fiber supplement like Metamucil -- it's natrual, and breakdown with digestion --ferments but causes gas when you first start using it--- so start off slow.

Also -- you need to drink 6 to 8 glasses of water daily--- your body is made up of 80% water ---other fluids have to be worked on by your liver to come up with water for your body to use.

I wish you well~~~Harry

You don't say how old you are, someone has replied to my constant nausea and suggest it could be hormone related...perimenopause as I am 40.

Ginger relieves my nausea. You can buy ginger capsules at the health food store, eat candied ginger. I also take peppermint pills to get rid of the gas and bloating.

Hey! I use ginger drops that I got from the Vermont country store and my gastroenteralogist gave me generic reglin. This helps my nausea when I take it four time a day but every once in a while I still get nausea.
