nausea after eating?

[Jschuster]

Greetings.  Looking for a little guidance or insight into my troubles.

 

I am on day 6 of my 2nd W30.  The first I did about 6 months ago, but rushed the reintroduction because of the holidays and family get togethers.  I am also 15 weeks pregnant.  I specifically didn't start until after the first trimester was over because I didn't think I could be complaint with all of the morning sickness I was having. 

 

I've done a lot of research about h pylori being a cause of nausea in pregnancy and it has been a lot better since I cut out breads and sugars.  I am confused now by the fact that since starting w30 I am getting nauseated AFTER I eat.  It is pretty consistent, happens right around 30 min and by 45 min post meal I am fighting hard to keep my meal down. 

 

I eat lots of small meals throughout the day so my stomach doesn't get empty.  Really it is like 6 half sized meals, e.g. 1/2 a protein serving and 1+ cups veggies or serving of fruit and the appropriate amount of fat.  If I let my stomach get empty I definitely will begin vomiting.  I'm aware of what that sensation is and I don't feel this is the same thing. 

 

I'm just confused and distressed because it is problematic for work (I work in a people helping field where I can't just run out 45 min after eating) and it is getting old.  Really old. 

 

Any thoughts?  I'm open to any suggestions!

Hi Jschuster - congrats on the pregnancy, but sorry to hear you're feeling this way...

Can you give us a run down of a few typical days? Giving precise info on types of veg,portion sizes etc?

That way we'll be better equipped to help you troubleshoot.

Sure.  Sorry, I didn't think to do that. 

 

I don't really measure my portions, so I'll do my best. 

 

Yesterday:

B: 2 eggs scrambled, 3 small sausage patties, fist sized portion of hashbrowns (white potato, I have a mental block against sweet potatoes).

Snack: banana, handful of almonds

Lunch: palm size serving of ham (no glaze), rounded, heaping handful of green beans, about a cup of fruit "salad" (strawberries, apples, bananas).

Snack: left over ham maybe half a palm size, handful of cooked broccoli (3/4 cup?)

Snack: 3 small sausage patties, more green beans 3/4 cup?

Snack: banana, left over salad, pretty small 1 cup or so, with herb vinaigrette dressing.

 

I didn't really eat supper, I just sort of snacked every 2-3 hrs.  Blame that on the weekend,  I usually do have 3 clearly defined meals on work days.

 

Day before yesterday:

B: 2 egg omelets with about 2 cups of veggies smashed in there (tomatoes, peppers, olives, onions)

Snack: 3 small sausage patties,  apple

Lunch:  homemade spaghetti meat sauce over zucchini noodles (full plate full), green beans 1/2-2/3 cup?

I can't remember an afternoon snack.

D:  palm sized pork chop, cereal bowl full of salad with vinaigrette dressing,

snack: sausage patties, handful of strawberries, handful of almonds

 

I realize as I write this some meals I'm probably not eating enough according to the meal template.  But I stop when I get full and I had been focusing on that rather than how much I was following the suggested serving sizes from the meal template. 

I'm also not going to apologize for so many sausage patties ;-)  They are one of the few proteins that I don't' have a current aversion to. 

 

Another aside, I am eating lunch at work right now, it has been 25 min since I started eating.  Left over spaghetti sauce and zucchini noodles and I had about a cup of fruit salad left over from a brunch we had this morning and I am starting to feel the nausea as I type.  Sigh. 

 

Thanks for your help.
