| Odd topic here but thought I’d reach out for tips on preventing a strong sickness
feeling every time I eat.
Given tablets by docs but they don’t seem to work, just started chemo.
I’m going to ask for a different tablet but sometimes simple things help.
Sadly too many have probably some experience of this, personally or someone close
and may be able to suggest what helped them.
Not asking for medical advice as that wouldn’t be ethical and probably illegal.

How are your current stage of chemo treatments being administered: infusion,
intramuscular injections, oral, topical patches?
Is there loss of appetite too, I mean beyond the anticipation of nausea
when thinking of eating?

| Infusion and tablets.
Infusion approx every 20 days followed by a mass of tablets for 14 days.
Have to take a few steroid tablets for first three days.
Appetite varies, eating ok when I find something I like, weight is steady.
Trouble is I’m on other medication for type 2 diabetes, sickness, blood pressure
and painkillers for nerve damage from the disease.
Taking 32 tablets a day for first few days, it then drops to 29, 12 months ago
I took zero.

Depending on the dosage of "painkillers" over time, it is one of the
major causes of nausea when eating.

Consider asking your Oncologist, if you're able switch to suppositories.

| And then of course, were you here in the state of Washington, we (you & I) would
go down the street to buy some strong THC edibles, very effective at alleviating
nausea. Used by many undergoing chemotherapy in preventing weight loss.

Sorry you are going through this! Old remedies from my childhood for nausea were
sipping on ginger ale (ginger beer), coca cola syrup, and ofc paregoric, but
I don't think that is available anymore. My mother found saltines (soda crackers)
without salt to be effective. Also eating a meal without spice or salt or fat
and see if that helps? Oatmeal with a little sugar and skim milk ought to be
bland enough.

Hello Stuart,
I am sorry this is happening to you.
My roommate/friend has been dealing with intestinal cancer and has been doing
chemo for the last 3 years.
In the days he did the infusion he said the treatment would leave a bad metallic
like taste in his mouth, and he has said that taste has permanently ruined some
foods for him.  As in I would avoid trying to eat your favorite foods during
the couple of days following an infusion to prevent ruining those foods for you
too. He also says he doesn't consume enough water, so he tried to make an
effort to hydrate more. I am not sure what your water intact is, but you could
perhaps drink a little more to delay hunger a little during the low appetite
periods.
My friend eats a lot of popcorn, and tries to eat salads. You may need to experiment
with what will work for you, but lighter meals during that time window might
help.
As ccroxton has said, ginger can help reduce nausea as well. My friend uses that
one too sometimes.

Stuart's primary health concern during this time, is weight loss and metabolic
panel reflecting good kidney function. What you recommend may promote a threat
to both. Counterintuitive as it sounds, maintaining weight is paramount at this
stage.

My friend eats a lot of popcorn, and tries to eat salads. You may need to experiment
with what will work for you, but lighter meals during that time window might help.
|
Please don't load the gastrointestinal tract with either. Not during your
chemo treatments.

True. Fresh ginger root (not teas) can aide in bringing down inflammation and
by extension, offer some GI relief. Though it's uncertain at this
point, that is the cause of his nausea.
But of course, just thinking out-loud, not giving advise

If the pain is in the stomach (not organ but section of the body) after eating
rather then just nausea then a hot water bottle applied to the skin is a very
good helper (at least for me). Tho if it’s to hot and held to long it can leave
a red mark that lasts for several days so it’s best to have at least some cloth
between it and the skin tho it won’t fully prevent “heat marks” on the skin.
I’ve used this technique many a time and it seems to help (at least in relation
to IBS so it might not be as effective in this case)

Heat helps in alleviating discomfort with many ailments. If not a "hot water
bottle" using an electric heating pad commonly used for menstrual cramps,
you might consider.
As to your condition: have you been diagnosed? You express symptoms of both IBS
and IBD. Also taking into account your specific diet...

Yes, 1 doctor highly suspected it and recommended me to a specialist who confirmed
it roughly 1-2 years back. I don’t know if I’ve said I had IBD before (I might
have had a typo or such) as from a quick search that seems to be more so crohns
disease which the doctor said was unlikely. But luckily the diet does good at
keeping most of the worst away but during the beginning hot water bottles were
my go to before IBS even crossed my mind

Get another opinion...
Sounded like Crohn's to me, initially. Which can cover the entire GI tract
or "pan" from the Colon to the Stomach. You've no doubt someone going
back within your immediate family with a similar alignment, as it is genetically
passed down and environmentally prompted..
In which case, there are therapies that are highly effective nowadays.

The tough part is my mom was adopted so we have 0 idea on her families medical
history, the reason the doctor (and myself) believes that it’s IBS rather then
crohns is that several of the “key differences” (without going into detail) are
not present in my case which pretty much eliminates crohns as a possibility.
As for “environmentally promoted” I agree 100%. Just yesterday we got some air
quality tests done and it turns out we may have been having some long term exposure
to some very bad air for quite a while (such as formaldehyde at 7x the safe long
term exposure amount and TVOC at the high end of the very unhealthy levels) so
we are planning on doing some fixes to help with that which may help with some
of this as it seems to have had some bad effects on most of us for many years
now but we never really knew the cause and just chalked it up to bad genetics.
The image is the results of the closet in my sisters room (not one with door
but just a section of the room covered in a curtain which by no means is airtight
as it’s 1+ feet from the top and has openings and such). The tester was going
to die so we stoped checking once it reached that number but when that image
was taken the number was still rising slowly

If the pain is in the stomach (not organ but section of the body) after eating
rather then just nausea then a hot water bottle applied to the skin is a very
good helper (at least for me). Tho if it’s to hot and held to long it can leave
a red mark that lasts for several days so it’s best to have at least some cloth
between it and the skin tho it won’t fully prevent “heat marks” on the skin.
I’ve used this technique many a time and it seems to help (at least in relation
to IBS so it might not be as effective in this case)

Yes, 1 doctor highly suspected it and recommended me to a specialist who confirmed
it roughly 1-2 years back. I don’t know if I’ve said I had IBD before (I might
have had a typo or such) as from a quick search that seems to be more so crohns
disease which the doctor said was unlikely. But luckily the diet does good at
keeping most of the worst away but during the beginning hot water bottles were
my go to before IBS even crossed my mind

Sounded like Crohn's to me, initially. Which can cover the entire GI tract
or "pan" from the Colon to the Stomach. You've no doubt someone going
back within your immediate family with a similar alignment, as it is genetically
passed down and environmentally prompted..
In which case, there are therapies that are highly effective nowadays.

The tough part is my mom was adopted so we have 0 idea on her families medical
history, the reason the doctor (and myself) believes that it’s IBS rather then
crohns is that several of the “key differences” (without going into detail) are
not present in my case which pretty much eliminates crohns as a possibility.
As for “environmentally promoted” I agree 100%. Just yesterday we got some air
quality tests done and it turns out we may have been having some long term exposure
to some very bad air for quite a while (such as formaldehyde at 7x the safe long
term exposure amount and TVOC at the high end of the very unhealthy levels) so
we are planning on doing some fixes to help with that which may help with some
of this as it seems to have had some bad effects on most of us for many years
now but we never really knew the cause and just chalked it up to bad genetics.
The image is the results of the closet in my sisters room (not one with door
but just a section of the room covered in a curtain which by no means is airtight
as it’s 1+ feet from the top and has openings and such). The tester was going
to die so we stoped checking once it reached that number but when that image
was taken the number was still rising slowly

Sounds like you need to move out of the city
Lots of freash air up here

It’s all apart of the experience it gets better when the idiots who have money
to blow decide to build too many houses and overload the power grid when it’s
-30c and blow up the generators just before Christmas (just when all the workers
are on holiday) during one of the worst storms I’ve ever seen(5 feet or more
of snow in two days )
Bologna for Christmas dinner (instead of turkey) was definitely interesting

Well, you said “several days,” and that’s not far from the “on average a week”
of the common explanation.
Let’s say “a day or 2” is “one-third degree burns” then

1st degree = red hot skin, maybe itching a bit, disappears in a week.
2nd degree = blisters, may take a few hours to appear, may break immediately
(= “deep 2nd degree”) or may resorb without breaking, takes 2-3 weeks, no scars.
3rd degree = everything worse than 2nd….

True hazards when it gets down to -43c you gotta lookout(at least for me in
the winter), but pizza warms the fingers

Tho if it’s to hot and held to long it can leave
a red mark that lasts for several days so it’s best to have at least some cloth
between it and the skin tho it won’t fully prevent “heat marks” on the skin.
|
Those “heat marks” are also known as “first degree burns”
|
I might be wrong but I didn’t think first degree burns simply disappear
after a day or 2
|
Well, you said “several days,” and that’s not far from the “on average a week”
of the common explanation.
|
I didn’t know they ever left I though if it was a major burn it’s with you
for life unless you get surgery 😅
|
So, you have never had a sunburn that went away? (mild sunburn = first-degree
burn)
Maybe you don't get out much in Canada.
|
i dont know the last time I had sunburn maybe when I was a kid but
i usually am not outside the house for more then 30 min at a time
| |
| | | |
Let’s say “a day or 2” is “one-third degree burns” then
|
close enough

Too bad. More people should spend more time outdoors. It does wonders for mood
and mental health. I personally think there would be a lot less anxiety and depression
in our modern culture if more people spent time outside.

To avoid excessive heat (of any degree) to your epidermis, consider the electric
heating pad mentioned: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1487849
Set the heat-level where it's most comfortable and relax. Yes, it's
widely used to alleviate menstrual discomfort, but also widely by sufferers of
various GI disorders too.
Bezos it cheap n'quick. I can vouch for this model: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0D2KDG5WH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I’m going to ask for a different tablet but sometimes simple things help.
Sadly too many have probably some experience of this, personally or someone close
and may be able to suggest what helped them.
Not asking for medical advice as that wouldn’t be ethical and probably illegal.

I am so sorry that you’re going through this. I tried to bribe my dad with his
favorite ice cream when he was having the same issue. Sometimes he would eat
little things more often and he wanted bland foods. Maybe you could try that?
Sending prayers your way,
