Nausea Long After Running

mike s. said:

I have a 35? year old? female friend who has run several
marathons
(3:30 - 4:00 range) over the last few years who has just
decided to stop running due to nausea and vomiting that
sometimes lasts 2-3 days after even short runs. She has
changed her diet and tried several prescription
antacids to no avail. It apears to be a gastric reflux
problem.

Any ideas what her problem may be?

No, but I know a man who does. He's called a doctor and
she'd be well advised to seek one.

2 to 3 days of vomiting after short runs? That's got to
deserve investigation.

No idea, and I'd second Tim's advice. This is *not* normal,
and it doesn't sound like any "running problem" I've heard
of (hence most runners will not be able to give a good
answer), but rather, some condition whose symptoms are
exposed by physical exertion. It does deserve medical
attention.

It is not that unusual for runners to experience sporadic
cases of nausea, but nothing even close to the degree that
you've described (which to me suggests some sort of illness,
but don't take my word for it, go ask your doc)

Cheers,

Excellent idea. Perhaps she should add eye of newt or skin
of toad and cure cancer whilst she's at it?

She has been seeing a doctor, hence the mention of using
"prescription" antacids!

Are you from a strange place where all doctors are men?

And broccoli - that helps with helicobacter no end.

Maybe she needs to see a different doctor or at least go
back to the one she has seen -- if the problem persists, so
should investigating it. bj

blueberries are nicer than eye of newt or skin of toad - they also have
proven benefits (look where newts and toads got Lady McB, a sub 3 thonner if
ever I saw one)

In which case they're not working and she needs to go back.
Her doctor isn't psychic and unless she tells him/her,
he/she won't know that the antacids aren't working.

No, I sometimes just get tired of the he/she, him/her stuff.

It's *probably* nothing serious, but then again, we can't
tell and it would be wrong to discount an oddity like this
as just a side effect of running. As eNo has mentioned, it
would be worth making discrete enquiries about the
possibility of pregnancy.

Thanks.

Mike, has she seen an internal medicine doctor? She may need
an "emptying scan". My spouse had problems with reoccurring
nausea and vomiting (no relationship to running though) and
found out through the scan that her stomach was not emptying
properly. A change in medication has worked wonders. (she
was also taking prescription antacids and acid reducers)

jojo

Which of her problems are you referring to? The nausea
problem, or the having you as a friend problem?

Tim - thanks for your continued input on this subject ...
the thought of pregnancy had crossed my mind. I think I will
have my wife ask her that question.

She's extremely ugly, remove al mirrors within her gaze.

I doubt this is the problem, but just in case (or for others
who read this thread because they've had nausea after long
runs)--that used to happen to me regularly, until I started
hydrating during the run. (I wear a camelback.) The nausea
problem (the nausea always happened a few minutes after I
ended a long run) stopped as soon as I started drinking
during the run, and has never returned.
