drink while eating. It’s better to drink 30 minutes before and after your meal.
You shouldn’t only stick to water, though, as this can throw your electrolytes out of whack. It’s good to balance your fluids with light juices and electrolyte drinks that are low in sugar.
5. Go Herbal
Many herbs can be used to treat nausea naturally. These include ginger, peppermint, lemon, fennel, chamomile, raspberry leaf, and red licorice.
In most cases, making teas from these herbs can be helpful. Before adding them to your diet, though, you should talk to your doctor to ensure that there are no potential side effects.
Why You Need To Control It
Persistent nausea can significantly affect your appetite, which affects your overall nutrition. Given that UC is known to reduce how well your digestive system absorbs nutrients, you need to eat healthily.
If the nausea gets bad enough, some people have needed hospitalization to get it under control while keeping their nutrition in check. In worst-case scenarios, uncontrolled nausea can leave you on the brink of malnutrition. That situation can lead to more hospitalizations for IV nutrition.
When You Need To Talk To Your Doctor
If your nausea is bad enough to stop you from drinking fluids or eating full meals, then you need to see your doctor. The same is true if you’re constantly dizzy or feeling faint. You should also look out for signs of malnutrition such as chronic fatigue, loss of appetite, the inability to concentrate, feeling weak, feeling cold all the time, frequent illnesses, and having wounds that take a long time to heal.
While many people don’t talk about it, UC can make you nauseous. The severity of it can vary but you need to know how to handle it. Since UC is a chronic condition, you should also be able to tell when your doctor needs to step in. Sometimes, persistent nausea is a sign that your treatment regimen needs to be modified.
