Being turned sick by food.

[Paula Garner]

I'll be 3 years post bypass this September. I've noticed recently that almost everything I eat turns me sick. I don't vomit, but I feel nauseous and have to throw my food away.

Any other long term bypassers experienced anything like this? If so, how did you deal with/ overcome it?

Thanks in advance

I was getting really really bad bloating.

I was getting really really bad bloating.

It's really weird Yve. Even if I'm looking forward to what I'm about to eat, it just turns me sick.

My issue has been too much fibre - which has irritated my stomach. Is that a possibility in your case?

 

[Paula Garner]

I don't think so. It's actually when I'm eating. I just get so nauseated I have to stop.

Unfortunately what springs to mind hon is the possibility of an ulcer or inflammation. Can you go back to liquids for a day or two and see if that helps?

 

[Paula Garner]

I was thinking of trying that. It'll have to be next weekend though. I need what energy I'm getting from the food for work :-(

My nausea has been getting worse in the last few weeks, I've also been finding it quite hard to get fluids into me in sufficient quantity.

I would also just ring your team maybe to check in. Can you drink fluids okay?

Sorry to hear that Jemima, I had been hopeful that things were taking a more positive turn for you.

 

[Paula Garner]

Yeah, I'm ok with fluids. Jemima, I hope your feeling better soon x

Is your weight staying steady?
It could be nothing to do with your op of course.
Maybe take professional advice if it's not settling.......
