Hi I have been experiencing ongoing nausea with weight loss for 7 months now. It began with a relationship bust up. Thought I had gastro at the time. I've had every test under the sun and had my gall bladder removed but still I have nausea most days worse in the mornings. This has had a devestrating effect on the rest of my life. I'm unable to work much so have closed my office and now have to sell my house. It has really done my head in... And am now experiencing major depression and anxiety. The drs have decided my nausea is somatic as they cannot find a definitive physical cause. Anyone else had nausea like this? Was there anything that helped or ended it?

I did have, but you've already taken care of that (gall bladder). Gosh, I can't think of what it might be! Are you still grieving the loss of the relationship? Do you feel it could be related to that, or that it COULD be somatic as the doctors are suggesting?

It certainly has gone to extremes since you've lost so much weight and have had to quit working, etc. Depression and especially anxiety has made me nauseous before. Perhaps an anti - anxiety med could help, but I don't know.

I wish you the very best. I hope something helps you -- please keep us posted! God bless. Hugs, Lee

The gut-brain relationship is very complicated. I would maybe see a psychotherapist and/or nutritionist or a psychiatrist who specializes in somatic illnesses and see if I could not figure out a plan to work on your two-pronged problems.
