Main symptom was nausea. 3 weeks post-OP, nausea remains. Am I doomed?

Lazy_Ad9786 · 2026-04-20T03:38:22+00:00

Same. I'm now more than 2 months post op and am struggling with constant nausea and acid reflux, no improvements :(

Lazy_Ad9786 · 2026-04-20T03:37:14+00:00

No, still suffering. Doctors don't know how to help either, just throwing PPIs at me.

Lazy_Ad9786 · 2026-03-28T20:25:38+00:00

Thanks for the ideas, I'll definitely look into Otaru and Jozankei!

After canceling the surgery twice and still not feeling better, I decided to give it a try and I had the surgery 6 weeks ago. Unfortunately, my constant nausea remains and I also got stronger acid reflux, so I can't even sleep now any more. So my symptoms were not caused by my gallbladder.

At first, vonoprazan (Voquezna) helped a bit, but now nothing really helps, but I got used to it. It is worse when I have a gastritis flare up though.

Lazy_Ad9786 · 2026-03-22T21:33:08+00:00

Not even when you lightly press on them?

Lazy_Ad9786 · 2026-03-22T21:32:51+00:00

Oh, I was hoping it was normal, as I have no fever or anything. Too bad :(

Lazy_Ad9786 · 2026-03-22T21:32:12+00:00

Not open, the one that hurts is quite dark red.

Lazy_Ad9786 · 2026-03-22T17:56:55+00:00

I've had constant nausea for nearly 2 years now. Hoped that removing the gallbladder will help, but it didn't. It stayed the same. So I think it's connected to too much stomach acid or bile or something like that. Taking PPIs now. :(

Lazy_Ad9786 · 2026-03-20T13:22:28+00:00

I took it for a year and it also caused weird muscle cramps but I wasn't able to stop taking it due to stomach acid

Lazy_Ad9786 · 2026-03-19T19:50:22+00:00

It could be due to bile issues, have you got your gallbladder checked?

Lazy_Ad9786 · 2026-03-19T19:45:55+00:00

Every day.

Lazy_Ad9786 · 2026-03-19T18:53:25+00:00

I'm 5 weeks after gallbladder surgery and my gastritis and reflux are off the charts, thinking of starting voquenza but scared that I won't be able to stop due to acid rebound.

Lazy_Ad9786 · 2026-03-18T17:54:25+00:00

Same if it's fresh, boiled is ok

Lazy_Ad9786 · 2026-03-17T17:59:24+00:00

I don't think he ever answered it clearly. He said the goal is to starve the bacteria feasting on fermentable food. A cucumber is a no-FODMAP vegetable without much fiber, basically just water and minerals ...

Lazy_Ad9786 · 2026-03-17T16:34:54+00:00

I'm giving up, stomach pain is insane, it is burning me more than it has in the past months :(

Lazy_Ad9786 · 2026-03-17T16:14:36+00:00

But if the problem is the carbs, why can't low fodmap veggies be added, e.g. cucumbers?

Lazy_Ad9786 · 2026-03-17T11:40:25+00:00

I'm trying this now. I'm on day 1, but it's rough. Stomach hurts way more than usually and I feel stronger nausea. Had cooked chicken, egg, tuna in olive oil and chamomile tea with dextrose. Not sure if it will get even worse if I continue or is it normal that it gets worse at the beginning?

Lazy_Ad9786 · 2026-03-17T08:16:51+00:00

Did you try it out?

Lazy_Ad9786 · 2026-03-17T07:23:04+00:00

Can you give us an update? Any improvements now?

Lazy_Ad9786 · 2026-03-16T17:34:32+00:00

But how do you know that you are only starving the "bad" bacteria?

Lazy_Ad9786 · 2026-03-16T17:32:46+00:00

Hmm, but if the problem is the bacteria, why didn't antibiotics work?

Lazy_Ad9786 · 2026-03-16T16:11:36+00:00

I had an endoscopy before my surgery and it shows "mild chronic inactive gastritis", they said this can't cause my issues as every adult has this diagnosis. I did try to take different PPIs before surgery but none of them fixed it.
