Hi everyone,

Starting week 11 post treatment and developed nausea, it's there all the time. I've spoken to my dietician and she's told me it could be

due to coming off all my meds , all at once.

I'm having my pump feed to quickly 

Or because I've started having more solid foods.

Or I may have had nausea all the time but meds masked it. 

Either way it's not nice.

She's told me to slow my pump feed down to 4 hrs and have it overnight.so I don't lose my appetite through the day. She will check back on me next week see how it's gone. If that don't work ,she said I may have to have some anti sickness meds off the Dr. I really don't want anymore meds since I came off the last lot too quickly. Anyone got any  ideas? Or suffered with this at 11weeks post treatment?

  • Hi Mark I used to have my overnight feed, over 9 hours, never had any nausea. Try doing longer, even 4 hours seems pretty quick.

    Hi Mark

    My overnight feed was over 6 hours....22-00....04-00...up at 04-00 to flush and stow pump away....then back to sleep.

    Was bothered with nausea ....took anti emetics which helped but had side effects...when I tried stopping them nausea returned with vomiting....did cut down on anti-emetics....eventually nausea stopped on its own.

    Dietitian and CNS will keep you on track....my team looked after me very well...things should settle down.

  • My pump feed was over 8 hours but when I threw up my NG tube up at 6 weeks I had to eat.
