Anyone just deal with Nausea

I have been given something for the nausea, but it doesn't do much (which is ironic since the prescription says that its to help nausea from chemotherapy so you would expect it to be powerful stuff)....

Carafate - Can you get it over the counter or equivalent?

Question. I keep seeing many on here recommend carafate for gastritis. I was in the US recently and when I asked the pharmasict at Target if they had it, they said it was prescription. Is it over the...

Confused

It may or may not be gastritis. For me, it wasn't awful inflammation that was seen, but it was there. But your endoscopy would have shown inflammation if it was there. I find when the nausea is bad,...
