I have constant nausea and constipation

Posted By Gandc (Boise, Idaho, United States) on 01/04/2013

In November I felt soooo nauseated all the time. No real constipation or diarrhea with it. Went to the Doc in the Box and he put me on Amoxicillin. Two days on that and all was cured. Ahhhh, felt great. Then...... Two weeks ago I had some bad cramping in my tummy for two days. No nausea, weakness, or anything.. Just some wicked, grab your tummy cramping in my lower tummy. I knew I was constipated, and tried to go, but could not.

By the third day I woke up with horrible nausea.. Horrible! I had to take some Dramamine to survive. Finally, so sick I went the the ER where they did a CAT scan and said I had a virus and that I would poop eventually. Their advice was to rest and let it solve itself.

However, for two weeks I still had the nausea and couldn't go! The nausea is soooo bad in the mornings. Tried several things to get things moving, but to no avail. So, did an enema and took some Magnesium Citrate last night and it did get things moving.

Still nauseated, still feel like crap (pardon the pun) and I am very afraid.

Any ideas how to cure this? What is this? Should I insist on a stool sample to check for a bacteria or parasite? (They said I would only have severe diarrhea with this). Could constipation make you this sick?

Thank you. I am at my wits end and want my life back.

Grandc, they say ginger is better than Dramamine for nausea.

There can be many reasons for constipation. If there is a sudden decline in stomach acid secretion (because of antibiotic) you can be constipated. Drink freshly squeezed lemon juice after every meal. this will temporarily solve the problem.

Take 1 tsp of Triphla powder mix in a glass of water and keep it for half an hour. Filter the water and drink it around 7 pm. Free bowel movement in morning. You can continue this till bowel movement is normalized. Good Health

You may try taking Psyllium Hux every day in the morning and before bed time. The recommended dose is 30mg. Each time with milk. This will cure your constpation. I suffered with conspitation for so long and statrted this remedy in 2007 and since then I have no problem.

Good luck.
