    Hi

    I have read the pamphlets of my anti-nausea medications and found that bloating and constipation are 2 of their side effects. I have suffered from both side effects and my constipation was so bad and caused horrible pain. I guess if we have to stop our nausea we have to pay a price. Try to move around more that helps a little, things will get better after the first week of chemo when you stop the nausea medications.

    I hope that helps, take care.

    Gas

    I didn't take anti-nausea meds long, because of the severe constipation.  Even something like Delcolax (sp) didn't help. 

    Plus, I had, throughout chemo, what I call "old man farts." I would fart when I walked, just like my dad.  Laughable around family, embarrassing around strangers. They went away after chemo, thankfully.

    Good luck, Cindy

    Shoot, sorry you feeling

    Shoot, sorry you feeling yucky.  Painkiller change?  Sounds like you could do with a padded room to scream in.  I hope a few days will make a difference.  Keep posting please.  Chin up.

    Hi Justme

    Sorry you're not feeling well....

    Try some honey with cinnamon in boiled water.

    Wait for it to be warm to sip. Don't drink it steaming hot.

    That should help.

    :)

    Ohh, I hated that feeling!

    I remember having that!  YUK!  I got some relief with Gas-X.  Once the pain got so bad, out of desperation, I drank that pre surgery magnesium citrate stuff.  That REALLY helped.  Of course you shouldn't do that without your Dr's OK.  Seem like I took Zantac like my dr recommended and had good luck with that on my less desperate days.  But I had to stay on it for a week after chemo, not just take it when I was miserable.
