AZ covid vaccine GI side effects - drugs to control them?

[jsp56]

Hi,

I have very difficult IBS, which I control by avoiding triggers, quite successfully. I react to everthing including tap water and moisturiser and practically all foods, but I manage pretty well by choosing my diet carefully and doing regular nutritional analysis.

Last Thursday I had my Astrazenica covid vaccination and had a really difficult time with severe nausea for days and days. It's day 6 now and I am still on sips of water and just tiny amounts of food. I'm now absurdly thin and it's been a hard week.

I wondered it might be a good idea to get some pharmaceutical help for my second jab. Something like an anti-emetic or something. I wondered if anyone would know what might help?

I can't take drugs that need swallowed, because I react to those but I might manage stick-on things like a stick-on motion sickness patch, or suppositories, like paracetamol.

I wondered if anyone might have any good ideas?

Thanks a million!

Even now it sounds like an antiemetic is a good idea. Chemists can sell you Buccastem - a small tablet which dissolves between your gum and your cheek.

I also have IBS, and have used antiemetic medicines for decades due to migraine.

Thank you that seems like a good idea. I will ask about that.
