What are the causes of nausea after eating? Could the nausea be psychological? Could it be the result of frustration and stress? Could this have an impact on health and well-being? The question is answered by the drug. Anna Mitschke.
What causes nausea after eating?
Hello and welcome. For about three months now, I have had a problem with eating. After eating a large lunch, I start to feel nauseous. I’m not pregnant, I don’t get sick (at least I think so) and I try to take care of myself. However, once I have eaten a large meal, I feel as if I am going to return it. Nevertheless, it never happens, although I can feel it “overflow” in my stomach. I have always liked to eat well, but only now my body seems to rebel and react badly to the food I eat.
I went to the doctor and he referred me for an ultrasound. Everything turned out fine, which surprised me even more. What is it then cause nausea after eating? Could this nausea be psychological? I’m a typical choleric. I work with autistic children on a daily basis and it is not a job in which I am fulfilled. I often come home frustrated that I am not doing what I should. Could this affect my health? Finally, I would like to add that three months ago I started this job and moved to a new city and I am in a completely new environment with new people. Thank you for your help. Regards. Margaret.

If symptoms persist, please see your GP. The doctor will take a full interview, perform an examination, and then decide on further treatment.
The doctor will order the necessary diagnostic tests, or possibly refer you to a specialist, e.g. a gastroenterologist, and select the appropriate treatment. When excluding biological background, psychogenic symptoms should be considered. Perhaps it is worth considering visiting a psychologist or psychiatrist.
