Re: upset stomach/nausea and pcos

Since there are two threads re the same subject, I combined the two so
that I may respond in one post.
I have had, in the past, the upper gastro endoscopy -- nothing was
found. According to that procedure, I do not have GERD. Have also had
the abdominal scan in which all was normal -- no gallbladder
inflammation, etc.. I also have a history of endometriosis which,
according to the surgeons, is all excised (I wish). Have a parent with
Type 2 Diabetes. All of my bloodwork looks fine -- no problems with
liver enzymes, etc..
I don't have heartburn.
I am clueless as to why I have the acid stomach/nausea/burping, but do
think it *may (don't know if I imagined this) worsen with carb intake.
I don't actually vomit, just get terribly nauseated -- gastro med helps
this problem.
Lemon water actually worsens my nausea/acid stomach -- decaf mint tea
also worsens my condition (strange)???
As far as I am aware, I do not have gastroparesis (although I have never
been tested for this).
