Ulcerative Colitis and nausea/vomiting?

[JoMarches]

I have a family member that suffers with UC. But they get very nauseated and vomit a lot too. Is that common?
They will eat as hungry, but then the feelings of needing the loo etc seem to trigger vomiting. They are mostly sick whilst on the loo. It’s very debilitating. Has anyone found anything that helps reduce this?
Thanks.

Yes, I used to vomit whilst going to the loo and randomly vomit- that might have been with the pain.
I had surgery -so probably not the most helpful reply (sorry)

Hm it’s quite uncommon I think except they may be a psychological link perhaps that makes them sick or it triggers gastritis too which could definitely make them sick.

I found Boswellia serrata really calming when I had UC - they sell them in fairly big capsules on amazon.

My ds (17) was dx with UC in January. In the months leading up to his dx, before he got more common symptoms of blood etc he would regularly throw up with in 30 mins of eating. As his symptoms got worse he would feel nauseous but threw up less - probably because he was eating very little. He's off steroids atm but on Octasa - he is no longer vomiting. He has, in his reading around UC found that nausea and vomiting can be symptom but not a defining feature of UC.

They are on biologics, steroids, immuno suppressants, mesalazine tabs and pentasa.
Also taking Bio Kult and multi vitamins.
Still in loo non stop all day. But the vomiting after food is what’s getting them down. If we could knock that on the head it would lift them a bit I think.

They need to get in contact with their consultant. I'd try ringing the consultant secretary direct and asking for immediate review. If the consultant isn't working then their GP might be able to do something. But it doesn't sound like said relatives symptoms are being controlled and the vomiting & bowel symptoms is a worry re malnutrition.

Yes, ring their ibd team.

Only out of hospital recently. We are in touch with GP. The hospital weren’t really worried as they said bloods were fine.
Fae Cal was 1800.
It’s proctitis at the minute not the full bowel, so they aren’t that bothered tbh. Said it would settle. But it isn’t.
Just thought maybe someone had a remedy for the sickness.
Thank you anyway for replies.

When ds has his worst symptoms and as he was recovering (& even now tbh) he is watching what he eats - esp for symptoms afterwards if he gets any. He a has also read around what foods may be good or problematic and has been guided by those. Could it be some of the medications making the relative nauseous/vomit? Ds developed bad acne from the steroids or Octasa - we aren't sure which.

The nausea was there before the meds.
I think we will have to look at food and what does/ doesn’t work in the future. Right now, everything seems to come back up a bit.
Thanks for replies. It’s just been going on for months now, they have no life really. Just moving from loo to sofa all day....

When I had full on UC nausea came hand in hand with my flare ups, think I was so inflamed that my digestive system just couldn't cope with food or liquids, and vomiting on top of the diarrhoea meant I became dehydrated and lost weight quickly. So for me it was more a flare up symptom as opposed to an every day symptom. I've had a total colostomy and j pouch reconstruction, that was the only thing that solved it for me. It's awful

Total colectomy - colostomy is a different thing, although kind of related.

They told us that as its proctitis even if they have surgery it won’t help, they will still have the proctitis.
