How to Treat Constipation and Nausea

Constipation and nausea can be a difficult combination to manage. Fortunately, there are a few steps you can take to help ease the symptoms. Taking a fiber supplement, increasing your intake of fruits and vegetables, using a laxative or stool softener as directed, taking anti-nausea medications, drinking ginger tea to calm your stomach, and eating soft, low-fat foods such as crackers, bread, and toast can all help. If chronic constipation is causing nausea, hemorrhoids, and other gastrointestinal problems, treatment can improve your quality of life. If you experience chronic constipation but don't think it's an emergency, talk to your regular doctor about the best treatment options.

Digestive problems such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are also common causes of nausea and constipation. While constipation can cause nausea, keep in mind that other medical conditions can cause both symptoms. Depending on the severity of your constipation, you may also experience loss of appetite and start skipping meals. In some cases, a medication called aprepitant may be prescribed to treat nausea or vomiting due to constipation. Aprepitant is a medication used to treat nausea or vomiting under certain circumstances.

Fecal retention can cause pain and vomiting. People may need emergency treatment or a visit to the hospital. If you are experiencing nausea or vomiting due to constipation, it is important to seek medical advice from your doctor. They will be able to advise you on the best course of action for your individual situation.
