If this is happening repeatedly, you may have a food sensitivity. First step would be to keep a food journal and see if you can notice a pattern. Oddly enough, I think fish may make me nauseous.
It can also be the result of medications you take. Not even a specific med, but your body reacting to the amounts of medication.
Finally, you could have a bacterial infection in your stomach.
If this continues, I'd talk to your LLMD about it.

the symptoms of the stomche virus that has gone around here is stomache bloating, cramping, rumbling with nausea, somtimes diarreah and vomiting, dizzyness, muscle aches, fever, and in some tingling in extremities,,,,
My whole family has had it, and just about evertone my husband works with has it ir is still fighting it,,,,
Its not a fun bug... Its actually one of the worst viruses that I have seen as far as the longevity of it....
I know everybody calls everything a herx but...stomach "flu" feeling is what most real bad herxes look like for some...the body just freaks to get rid of bugs...how long ago was the last one?
I have been counting the days since my last stomach "flu" to see if I get another 28 days later..if so then it would most likely be the herx flare.
Did pepto help you...please be well!!

does it really wax and wane.........sigh....this is horrid. i thought i was better.
Pepto is helping some.....now when i urinate i have a BM as well, not fun stuff.
The whole pelvic area is just really tight too.
If im still having this on wed i will call the llmd....the last one lasted about 2 days.
im going to keep a food log. Also thinking it maybe the Therelac.

it started with nausea last nite....then today after i ate ...i had a ton of rumbling....and food just ran right thru me. I took pepto and it seemed to help some.
symptoms are nasusea...stomach rumbling, diarea, no stomach pain.
would therelac cause this? why?
my stomach is really making lots of noises right now. i didnt take therelac today though.
