Extreme nausea after eating? Doctor not taking me seriously?!
Question: For the last couple of months, no matter what I eat or the size of what I eat, I become EXTREMELY nauseated, and even start to have a mild panic attack afterwards.
My doctor told me that I 'need to stop overeating', and 'limit my sugar intake'. But this even happens if I eat half of an apple, or drink a glass of water.
I've gone to a second doctor and gotten the same responce. I have a very healthy diet (trying to avoid feeling like this after eating), and my husband is starting to complain that I'm not even eating full servings anymore.
I tried increasing my exercise and that did nothing.
I tried DEcreasing my exercise and that also did nothing.
It's a miserable feeling, as I don't dare eat out or at a friend's house anymore.
Does anyone else have this issue, or something SERIOUS to add onto it? Thanks.

Sounds to me like you could have a couple of things going on, or maybe even a combination of things going on-- I really don't know how panic attacks play into the picture, but that is a completely different topic all together--
However, stress and panic can really cause GI distress in most people-- it can cause nausea, diarrhea, cramping, indigestion, ulcers and so on. This kidn of thing can be helped with acid reducers and talkign with your doctor to address your stress and panic attacks--
It could also be Irritable bowel syndrome-- there are medications to help with this, you might google it or look it up on WEBMD to get more detailed information-- but it can cause you to feel the same way.
Thirdly, it could be your gallbladder-- causes the same symptoms, and is usually present after eating or drinking--
You need to have an evaluation done by your doctor (they can test for ulcers, address your stress and do an ultrasound of your gallbladder)
but the IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) has to be addressed by a gastroenterologist--
You need to have it checked out though, because all of the above can cause you to have problems with your stomach and intestines later if it is not addressed--
Good luck to you!
I have never experienced this but I would recommend getting a third opinion. Preferably from a gastroenterologist (a doctor that diagnoses and treats diseases and disorders that involve the digestive system) if you haven't already to see what they think could be going on.
I found this information on webmd.com
The timing of the nausea or vomiting can indicate the cause. When appearing shortly after a meal, nausea or vomiting may be caused by food poisoning, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining), an ulcer or bulimia. Nausea or vomiting one to eight hours after a meal may also indicate food poisoning. However, certain food borne bacteria, such as salmonella, can take longer to produce symptoms.
I have experienced this and it was found that my stomach was not digesting and emptying anymore.
You need to TELL your Doctor that you want a referal to a Gastroenterologist so he can investigate what's going on as it's not in your head.
You can't keep on going on like this.
I don't eat out anymore and if I have to I always take my Maxolon syrup with me and know where the nearest door to outside is.
Perhaps your doctor really doesn't know what's going on. Go see a specialist (gastroenterologist) and see if you can get help.
May be its Amoebiasis. Fig is quite good remedy for it. But its better if you go visit a doctor (gastroenterologist).
Find another doctor - preferably a gastroenterologist. You obviously SHOULDN'T be feeling nauseated after a small bit of food. You might consider getting your husband to go with you so that you have someone to back up your claim of small meals.
Good luck!
