Just Looking For Some Thoughts, I Have Had Increased Nausea And Acid Reflux Since My CLL Diagnosis.
The little bit of investigation I have done leads me to be believe that it may be connected? What say you?
Ondansetron (zofran)? Also a good PPI (proton pump inhibitor)? Diet? Bland? I don’t know if that would help but it sure helped me with Graft VS Host of the gut! I got zofran 8 mg ODT and it stops the nausea in its tracks- like mid-vomit! It’s not without its side effects (constipation, elongated QT intervals, etc) but I never had that. There are far too many good meds out there to help to not try a few!
For sure acid reflux and nausea doctor gave me zofran he told me it was because my spleen was enlarged anytime I ate a large meal would cause the acid reflux so snacking mostly and salads instead of one big setting I just eat throughout the day small little bites reflux went away.
I also had the nausea and some vomiting but not from the treatment but from the enlargement of my spleen and mostly before I was diagnosed. I love to eat so at first assumed I had over ate or ate something that just didn't agree with me. Never crossed my mind I had CLL. After I was diagnosed and learned that my spleen was enlarged alot and pushing on my stomach I cut down on my food, eliminated certain foods, my beloved popcorn for one. It also helped that my appetite was really disminished and I wasn't very hungry, actually had to make myself eat. Never had the reflux tho but I know that's hard as my husband suffered from that, not from cancer tho. Good luck
Ginger is good for both issues.
After 33yrs .y Dr finally said I was right cannabis does help !!!! Now 37yrs I still use it !!!! 33yrs being told your wrong!!! Lol if I was only survivor of clinical trial!!!! I knew I wasn't wrong!!!!!
I Was Always Able To Eat Anything Without Nausea. Now I Have To Be Very Careful, Or The Nausea Will Rear It Ugly Head.
I Am Having Severe Acid Reflux After Starting Treatment With Imbruvica
Has Anyone Ever Been Referred To By Their Oncologist To Go To Palliative Medicine?
