Persistent Nausea

[LarryG62]

My wife is experiencing long periods of nausea when she wakes up in the morning and starts to move around.  The first lasted for about six weeks in Feb-March, then slowly went away.  Last week she started to experience .the nausea again.  During Feb-March she had an abdominal sonagram which showed a small polyp near ther gall bladder which the doctor didn't think could cause the nausea.  She had the light down her stomach exam which showed only some gastritiis and the doctor discounted that as the cause.  She also had the inner ear testing to ensure that problems in her ear were not thecause.  Again, the test was normal.
I give her some liquid (juice or gatorade) and some food such as scrambled eggs and toast or cereal, and slowly the nausea goes away.  Later in the day she usually feels better.
The doctors are stumped, and so am I.  Anyone have any similar experience, or suggestions about the source of this persistent nausea.  Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

She should certainly have a breath test for Helycobacter pylori bacteria, which may be the cause of gastritis.

If the polyp in the gallbladder (was it sure in gb?) is smaller than 1 cm, it's probably not problematic, but bigger polyps may develop into a cancer, so this issue has to cleared.

Gastritis and gallbladder inflammation are one of the most common causes of nausea. Right upper abdominal pain (under the right rib cage), cramping in nature and after the fatty meal, would speak for gallbladder disease. HIDA scan may show gallbladder function.

Try that H.pylori test first.

Meat, milk, eggs, beans...any high protein-containing food may worsen nausea, since proteins need to stay in the stomach for several hours in order to be digested. Acidic foods (fruits, vinegar, also vit C, aspirin...) may also irritate the stomach.

H  pylori antibodies were detected in one of her blood tests, but it wasn't present in the biopsy the MD did while she was in for thr EGD.
Also the polyp was only near the gall bladder.
One puzzling event occured last weekend when we were late eating dinner on  Friday and didn't eat until around 8:pm We ate barbecue pork, french fries and baked beans.  She had no nausea the next morning....only one in the past week.
Thanks for your comments.

You mentioned "some gastritis" in the first post, and then "antibodies to H. pylori". So, two things speak for H. pylori. I can't comment negative biopsy, but I still think she should have a breath test, which I believe is most reliable.
