I was hoping to find an answer here. I am 1/3 of the way through my pregnancy. After I eat certain foods, like hamburgers, about 30 minutes after finishing, I have a massive amount of nausea.  It goes back down after an hour or so.  Any ideas why it gets so much worse?

I've been feeling the same as Christina; getting nausea after I eat, and lately I've started vomiting too. I know I can't be pregnant because I'm a virign. Maybe I'll check out the gastroparesis thing. I don't think it's stress though, because I really don't have anything to be stressed about.

Christina, I too experience the same thing, and have wondered if I am pregnant, but am beginning to think it is something else, as it is after I eat! (not before, or with the smell of certain foods, as before).So, I've been doing some research online, and found out about something called gastroparesis, I believe is how it's spelled. It is a disease of the stomach muscles, which causes the stomach to not grind food properly, and therefore it is not able to be metered out properly to the small intestine. The suggestions were upper GI to determine if this is the case. So, the enterology appt you have would be the one to start with, I believe. Good luck to you, and I pray we both get answers.

What causes nausea or vomiting?
The causes of nausea and vomiting are quite similar. Many things can bring on nausea. Some common causes are seasickness and other motion sicknesses, early pregnancy, intense pain, exposure to chemical toxins, emotional stress (fear), gallbladder disease, food poisoning, indigestion, various viruses, and certain smells or odors.

The timing of the nausea or vomiting can indicate the cause. When it appears shortly after a meal, nausea or vomiting may indicate a mental disorder or a peptic ulcer. Nausea or vomiting one to eight hours after a meal may indicate food poisoning. Foodborne diseases, such as Salmonella, may take longer to produce symptoms because of the incubation time.

Thanks. We took the kids on a mini vacation. It was fun but I missed checking to see how everyone's been doing. And it's nice to be missed. So thanks for the nice words.
