Gbye grey sky Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Sounds to me like anxiety perhaps. You feel you are not settling in and are putting pressure on yourself. Your references to "home" are telling. Are you on a temporary visa or permanent. If it is permanent and you consider the UK as your home then this is part of the issue.

fossda Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Hi How long have you been here ? I was terribly nauseous for about 3 months after arriving. To the point of retching all the time. I put some of it down to jet lag as I've suffered awful sickness before after long haul flights, but I honestly think it was all anxiety, stress etc related. Even though I don't normally suffer from that sort of thing. If you're situation is anything like mine - left all family and friends behind, new country, totally new job, new everything etc etc, it's bound to take its toll in some way. I should've taken out shares in rescue remedy drops, the way I glugged them down lol ! Now settled and happy - no more nausea. But certainly check with a doc again. Hope you feel better soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shak Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 ^ive been here for 3 months now.i left all fam/friends too.it may be stress related,i have no idea.i just want to feel normal again!its an awful feeling.thanks hun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenjh73 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Hi shak, I know this might sound a bit weird, but every time I visit my family in the Sydney area the tap water makes me feel ill! (I'm still in the UK at the moment, but have visited nearly every year for about the last 20!) They now get in those massive bottles of water for me to drink until I get 'acclimatised' and it really makes a difference. Don't know if this would be the same in your case, but its worth a try!

caramac Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 It sounds very much like its stress related, if all your tests have come back normal. It's pretty common really - stress affects people differently (nausea, headaches, cramps, anxiousness), but if it doesn't settle down and you're still worried, then go back to the dr.

NicF Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Assuming you are definitely not pregnant (only thing that made me feel sick everyday) then it could be pretty much anything in your environment at the moment. I suggest keeping a diary of things you eat, drink and do and when you feel sick and see if there are any patterns. If you are going to try cutting things out then just cut out one thing at a time for a week or so to see if it makes a difference. Ideally you shouldn't do this without advice from a dietician to ensure you are still getting all your nutrition, but if it's just for short periods you should be okay.

shak Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 I always boil the water here and than filter it too,can't take any risks...plus i'v also tried bottled water,no change Hi shak,I know this might sound a bit weird, but every time I visit my family in the Sydney area the tap water makes me feel ill!

Avoiding gluten is a very fashionable thing, but gluten is NOT unhealthy. It's only a problem if you have a gluten intolerance and you don't suddenly develop a gluten intolerance just because you've moved countries. And you need to be careful, because many gluten-free products are absolutely laden with sugar and other unhealthy ingredients to try to improve the taste. I get nauseous when it's very hot. If you're drinking a lot of water, you may be flushing out essential salts and minerals: eating bananas will boost your potassium. Don't be afraid to put salt on your food, you need a bit of extra salt if you're sweating a lot. Dairy isn't unhealthy either - again, it's fashionable to avoid it but it's all bullsh!t unless you have a genuine intolerance, and it's unlikely you've suddenly become intolerant just because you've moved countries.

shak Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 That's a good idea,a diary.thanks Docs already took pregnancy test,im defo not pregnant..but thanks for the diary tip,that's a good idea Assuming you are definitely not pregnant (only thing that made me feel sick everyday) then it could be pretty much anything in your environment at the moment.

JockinTas Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I was fine with the heat - even 40C didn't bother me untiil I was pregnant. I suffered all day long with "morning" sickness and developed a real aversion to heat. Since then, so for the last 30 years, I couldn't tolerate heat. Felt nauseous and got bad headaches.

Interesting to hear of other people whose tolerance for heat has changed due to hormones. I never liked the heat but until menopause, I was able to manage Sydney's summers. Since menopause I can't cope with humidity at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying you're imagining anything. You're born with lactose intolerance so that's not suddenly going to happen just because you moved to Australia. Gluten intolerance is actually quite rare, though it's fashionable right now for some weird reason. You obviously have a medical problem and I wish you well in working out what it is, but it's unlikely either of those things is the reason. If you're having trouble with chocolate, chocolate is made differently here because if it wasn't, it would just melt on the supermarket shelves - Cadbury's has quite a lot of caffeine in it, and that used to make my oh sick. He could eat Lindt no problem. Have you tried avoiding coffee for a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
