I've had nausea every day for a full year now and my GI keeps dismissing my concerns because it's "likely not related to Crohn's." I haven't found anything that completely takes my nausea away, so at this point I'm just trying to find ways to "live" with it. Sucking on ginger candies sometimes helps me temporarily. Some people also have luck with peppermint, but it seems to make my nausea worse! Starting omeprazole definitely helped the level of nausea I had each day (I'm not constantly laying in bed due to the "strong waves of nausea"), but it didn't entirely get rid of my nausea. Also if the nausea is particularly strong and I don't want to vomit, either a whiff of rubbing alcohol or laying down with an alcohol prep pad in between my eyebrows seems to at least temporarily take away the nausea. I hope you're able to find some relief soon!

I am prescribed the anti nausea tablets that er’s use that melt under your mouth one of those and I’m usually good sometimes it’s bad and I have to take two. It was easily prescribed to me so not sure why your drs would be dismissing your nausea it’s a huge symptom of my crohns. Along with abdominal pain/cramping which I’m prescribed dicyclomine for that and can take up to 4 tablets a day of whatever dose I’m on but get by with just two. If you want the anti nausea pill name I can give later if you want later.

I've used zofran before which does seem to help temporarily, it takes a little bit to start working which isn't always helpful if i'm nauseous in the moment. there have also been claims that dark soda like coke helps because of the phosphoric acid, but that's been debated and the exact results are unclear. i find it helps but i think it might just have to do with getting something in my body that i can tolerate because my nausea is very related to not eating. also, and i know that this isn't for everyone and can be hard to obtain depending on your area, i have found that marijuana helps greatly and makes it easier to eat, but again that's not for everyone.

Cannabis helps me with nausea so much, I think it helps that I don't have to injest it, but whatever intake method will probably work, if cannabis is an option for you, I know it's not for everyone
