IBS GIVING YOU NAUSEA? LEARN HOW TO MANAGE

Written By Marica Gaspic

Nausea and IBS

Overview:

  • Nausea can occur with IBS (assuming NO OTHER conditions like migraine, ulcers, heartburn or dyspepsia).

  • It's common, with 38% of women and 27% of men experiencing IBS-related nausea.

  • Nausea usually follows eating and is associated with fullness, abdominal pain, and bloating. It may also be accompanied by vomiting, loss of appetite, and excessive burping.

Causes:

  • Nausea can be triggered by foods that worsen IBS symptoms.

  • Medications, including laxatives for constipation and new prescription medications, can also cause nausea.

  • If common IBS symptoms are not present, other causes should be considered by a doctor.

Management:

  • Over-the-Counter Medications:

    • Gravol: Available in sedating and non-sedating (Ginger Gravol) forms. The sedating version can cause drowsiness and is not recommended for those sensitive to sedatives. Ginger Gravol is a better option as it's non-sedating.

    • Pepto Bismol: Contains bismuth salicylate, an anti-inflammatory like aspirin, which might irritate the gut and is not specifically recommended for IBS symptoms.

  • Holistic Approaches:

    • Herbal teas such as ginger, peppermint, and chamomile.

    • Peppermint oil.

    • Probiotics.

    • Gentle stretches and walking.

If these do not help and your IBS nausea gets worse, see your doctor to discuss trying prescription medications, and make sure there is nothing else happening.

Key Focus:

  • Identifying and avoiding triggers that worsen IBS.

  • Managing stress and dietary habits.

  • Personalizing treatment plans for effective symptom management.

  • IBS triggers can cause changes in bowel movements, leading to constipation or diarrhea.

  • Finding individual triggers is crucial for managing IBS effectively.

SUMMER SIZZLE SPECIAL
Marica Gaspic

Living with IBS can quietly take over your life — not just through pain and bloating, but through the constant uncertainty, loss of confidence, and fear of not being able to trust your own body.

I help high-performing women with IBS move from symptom-chasing to true physiological stability — by understanding IBS as what modern gastroenterology defines it to be: a disorder of gut–brain interaction involving the nervous system, microbiome, immune function, and stress physiology.

As a pharmacist and gut health coach — and as someone who has personally lived with IBS — I bring both clinical expertise and lived understanding to the work we do together. My clients don’t just “manage” IBS. They rebuild trust in their body, regain energy and confidence, and create a sustainable system of support that fits their real life.

This is not about restriction or short-term fixes.

It’s about building a body that finally makes sense.

Why Work With Me

Personal Experience

I have lived with IBS and successfully stabilized my own health — giving me deep insight into both the emotional and physiological realities of this condition.

Clinical Expertise

As a pharmacist, I bring evidence-based understanding of human physiology, gut–brain signaling, microbiome science, and medication interactions into every plan I create.

Proven Results

I have guided women through sustainable, personalized recovery frameworks that improve symptoms, restore energy, and dramatically elevate quality of life.

Together, we build a personalized, sustainable gut health strategy that supports your body, your lifestyle, and your long-term wellbeing — so you can live with calm, clarity, and confidence again.
