Feeling sick to my stomach a lot....

linsey0689

So the subject says a lot of what I am going though. Since I started dieting, I feel sick to my stomach a lot of the time. It is a mix between nauseous and like I could throw up. This is the worse at night and sometimes it makes it so I can't get to sleep. I hate it because it makes me want to get up and snack to see if that makes me feel better, which I normally don't do. I am about 268 or so and have lost about 18 lbs since I started using this site for real this time on 1/20/13. Does anyone else feel like this and what do you do to help it?

I tend to feel nauseous and sick when my bloodsugar is low. I had it at the beginning of my diet and still have it sometimes, mostly after cheat meals.

Maybe take your glucose levels? see where they are at?

I was gonna say low blood sugar as well. See a doctor.

I agree with the other posters. Also perhaps your daily calories are too low or your netting too low in your calories? I know that I feel really sick when I dont eat. Dont deny yourself for the sake of losing weight since that can harm you in the long run.

Hopefully you'll work this out. Good luck.

Are you pregnant? (not being a ****, seriously inquiring)

If you're getting a pregnancy test and YOU are pregnant, do I get a prize? Do I get to know?

I threw up when my blood sugar dropped too much. Might be worth looking back through your diary to see if there any trends. Maybe eat little and often. Hope u are ok

Things that make me feel barfy: not drinking enough water, not eating enough non-sugar carbs, not eating enough food in general. Good luck and feel better!

When I first started dieting, I had diarrhea. I felt nauseous all the time, and especially at night my intestines burned and my stomach gurgled. I had a lot of gas, at one point my entire stomach bloated with gas that made me feel like I was going to vomit, and I felt so sick.

I dont know if this is anything you're experiencing, but I believe it was my body detoxing from a life of junkfood to healthier foods.

After a week and a half, it let up and I feel fine!

I think I love you! :laugh:

I've always experienced morning queasiness, but found it got worse when I was cutting calories. I recently switched to decaf coffee out of desperation. It worked. I'm not sure why or even if this would be feasible for you, but I wanted to share it.

Wow, that is a crazy weight loss in just 1 month.

Are you taking any vitamins or medication? These can make you sick when you don't have enough food in your stomach.

I agree that the foods you're eating could be contributing to your upset stomach, particularly if you've made a drastic switch from processed foods to healthier, raw foods. When I first started eating asparagus on the regular, I thought I was allergic because it upset my stomach so much. But after I became a vegetarian, I realized that my body just hadn't been used to eating that much fiber. Now that my body has adjusted, I don't have that issue anymore. That being said, if my blood sugar is low and I go a long time without eating, I do get very nauseated, so that could definitely be a possibility as well.
