How to Treat Nausea
The little things.
Some of the following dietary and lifestyle tips may help you avoid, or at least soothe, an upset stomach:


Drink certain types of teas (especially ginger, peppermint or chamomile).
Take ginger, whether it is ginger ale, ginger tea or chopped-up ginger root.
Eat foods high in fiber.
Leave dry crackers by your bed and eat one or two when you get up in the morning.
Eat smaller meals and snack more frequently. Try soups.
Avoid spicy, greasy or strong-smelling foods.
Remove strong food odors from the house: open windows while you're cooking, or microwave your meals.
Eat meals sitting up.
Don't lie down immediately after eating.
If you're thirsty after eating a meal, be sure to sip your drink slowly.
Avoid substances that irritate the stomach, such as alcohol, aspirin, caffeine and tobacco.
Use meditation and relaxation techniques.
If you find you can't eat regular meals, be sure to take liquid meal supplements, such as Ensure or other nutritional shakes.
Antiemetics.
These meds are designed to prevent or relieve nausea and vomiting. Many are available without a prescription, such as Benadryl, Dramamine, Pepcid AC, Tagamet and Maalox.
Other antiemetics require a prescription, such as Compazine, Reglan, Marinol, or Zofran. Some of these meds may interact with your HIV medications, however, so check with your doctor before taking them.

Antibiotics.
Your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic if a bacterial infection is to blame for your nausea or vomiting. Antibiotics are primarily used in patients diagnosed with H. pylori infection.

I'm going through it now. I'm 52 but I had the flu a few weeks ago and It went away. Then the nausea came back. My 13 year old got the flu too. I know it was the flu because my little girl got it right after me. And to let you know, I NEVER get the stomach flu. But the nausea has just stayed with me everyday. Every time I eat. It's like it taught my body how to throw up. I had eggs over medium and toast at breakfast and 45 minutes later I felt the nausea. I was at target and it kept coming and going. I finally got home and I dont have the runs but its loose. I think it has to do with diet. Eat smaller meals and no butter or greasy food. I have been drinking Gingerale cold and it works. Slow your system down as much as possible. Smaller meals more often. I just had salmon....a very small amount and a few soda crackers. I'll sip on Gingerale until I go to bed. The key is slowing down your system and gradually bringing it back to smaller meals without the fat. It's working for me. It's scary, I know. It's like what the hell is going on here? You have to teach your body to not get sick and get used to not throwing up, by not giving it the chance too. Once you have you're gall bladder out you have to watch what you eat. Smaller meals more often. No Greasy food. Sip on cold fluids all day. Dont go long periods with nothing in your stomach, but dont eat large meals. Try it for a week or two of just very tiny meals with nothing greasy and keep  sipping on gingerale.(cold) You will lose weight, and a lot of nausea will be gone. Once you body gets used to not being sick and you stick to the smaller meals youre system should start correcting itself. Hang in there. I know it's tough. I'll let you know how I do.

I believe I read that yellow stool is a sign that you could be producing too much bile.  You need to contact your dr. for this-there is medication to treat this problem.

I know what you are saying.  I had my gallbladder removed about 4 years ago.  I had a bad time recovering from the surgery.  There were times I feel absolutely fine and I am not nauseated at all. Lately I have pain in my upper right side where my gallbladder used to be and the pain goes all the way to my back.  I am nauseated all the time.  I have a hard time eating anything, because I get sick from it. I feel full after eating.  My stool is yellow and I don't sleep well at night.  I don't know what is going on.  Just to let you know you are not alone in this. Good Luck!
