Top 8 Homeopathic Medicines For Nausea After Eating

Nausea refers to a sick feeling with an urge to vomit. Nausea can happen any time and in some cases, it might happen particularly after eating. If it occurs once in a while, then it is not a reason for concern. But if it happens quite frequently or if it is persistent, then there may be some medical reason behind it that needs to be ruled out and treated to resolve the issue of nausea. There are a number of reasons that can lead to nausea after eating. First reason can be food poisoning. It is a food-borne illness that occurs from consumption of food that is contaminated with germs which results in nausea, vomiting, loose stool and stomach pain. Another reason can be food allergies (an overreaction of the immune system to eating some specific food) and food intolerance (difficulty in digesting certain foods). Other reasons include acid reflux (means backflow of stomach acid to the food pipe), gall bladder disease, stress, anxiety, overeating and also might occur during pregnancy. Another reason can be IBS i.e. irritable bowel syndrome which is a disorder of the large intestine (colon) that results in diarrhea, constipation or alterations between these two. Bloating, stomach cramps and nausea can attend to it. Pancreatitis (inflammation of pancreas) and the use of certain medicines for diabetes and anti–seizure medicines may be the other causes. Along with nausea, other symptoms may occur. These include vomiting, gas, bloating, abdomen pain, heartburn, appetite loss, loose stool, constipation, fever and weight loss.
