Anyone else dealing with nausea? Any ideas how to stop feeling this way? I'm so tired of feeling nauseous!

Oh no! Is it just me?

No, it's definitely not just you!

I don't know how far into the program you are. If you're in your first week, it's really common, along with headaches & fatigue. Most people find after the initial carb & sugar withdrawals have subsided, these symptoms go away. If you're beyond your first week, and you're getting your salt & supplements in, you should probably talk to your doctor, or at least your IP coach. Have you read through the 'Newbies' & 'FAQ' threads? You might find some answers there.

Hope you're feeling better soon!

I am day... 11 so a little beyond the first week. I didn't have any symptoms last week, maybe they're just late in coming? I've done quite a bit of reading around the forum, but could always use more tips! Thank you!

Another thing I forgot to mention is to not let yourself get too hungry. Did you start out having 4 packets a day? Some people find they just need more protien, and have great weight loss while having the extra one.

Hopefully you've got a knowledgable coach who can help you get over this rough patch!

I didn't start with 4, I never needed it. I'm struggling to get to three packets and most days don't make it. Maybe that's my issue...

My coach is super sweet. Super knowledgeable? eeeh...

Hi Snowclover,

I have not had frequent nausea, but did find that certain IP products caused stomach problems for me - specifically, the 'savory' ones like chili, soups etc which contain autolyzed yeast extract &/or hydrolyzed protein (which have glutamic acid and may cause issues for people with MSG sensitivities). I no longer use those products.

For nausea, in general, I find that peppermint tea is soothing as well as ginger tea (purchased bags, or steeping slices of fresh ginger).

I hope you feel better!

Hello,

I have been on IP for 23 days. I get nauseous when I wait too long to have supper. Even if I have a drink or pudding not too long before. I think that's when my stomach is totally empty and it's telling me I need to get food in there asap! I don't feel like eating but once I do I feel much better.

Good luck!

I made a point to eat more yesterday and felt and still feel a lot better. I think it's true that not eating enough on this diet causes nausea at least. I also lost more yesterday than I did the day before! Thanks for your help and advice everyone!
