cant eat in the morning without feeling sick after

[Headah]

Hello all, my name is heather and i am 15 years old.
I dont know why but I just can not eat in the morning! I can't even drink water without feeling sick it happens everytime!
and i really would like to be able to eat in the morning because i dont get to eat anything until i get home from school. I usually dont eat breakfast but when i do i feel sick and i get cramps and it makes me feel miserable but then goes away after a few hours. I never feel sick when i eat in the afternoon and its just so weird.

A little late to the party but hopefully this can still help someone.

I’ve been that way my whole life. No matter what schedule I’m keeping, I cannot eat within the first 2-3 hours of waking up, but I found that I could drink something within an hour or so.

I started replacing traditional breakfasts with those meal replacement shakes (personally I like Ensure). And if I couldn’t stomach them before leaving the house, it was really easy to toss a bottle into my bag to have a bit later.

What happens a lot is our blood sugar drops over night.  Eating a small amount will bring it back up even if you feel a bit nauseated.  It helps regulate things.  good luck

i have a similar problem.   as you may know, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. it gives you energy to fuel your body, and it helps you focus, and feel more awake. there may be a few reasons you feel sick after eating breakfast:  first, you may be eating unhealthy foods. if a lot of your breakfast meals are pancakes with whipped cream and syrup, or microwave jimmy dean egg sandwiches, it may have an affect on your health, causing you to have an upset stomach. try eating something simple, healthy, and small. some examples are fruits, oatmeal, avocado toast, a smoothie, or maybe some cereal (but not the unhealthy kinds like lucky charms.) if you are still having stomach pains, i reccomend you see a doctor, or tell your parents. good luck :)

I have the same symptoms, I have been diagnosed as having IBS, so more than likely its that. If I take metoclopramide a couple of hours before breakfast I feel fine. Zantac also seems to help, as do antacids such as Tums as mentioned already. I suspect it is anxiety related as I was on SSRI's previously (paroxetine) that seemed to get rid of it for some years. Sertraline does not seem to work as well

Hi Heather,

My daughter had the same thing..
Feeling sick in the morning can be from eating late of an evening and going to bed before your food has digested. That can impact on the liver and make you nauseaous of a morning.
If you try to switch your eating around by not eating later than 5pm,
and only drinking water after that, and taking some lemon in your water of a morning (helps the liver), it may help?

Let me know how you go..

Also, hormones can do funny things, if it happens in the last half of your monthly cycle it could be related to progesterone..
We found my daughter was allergic to her bodies progesterone (the hormone that is active in the last half of your cycle) and she did a NAET treatment and it went straight away.

wishing you all the best,
if they don't help, go see a good Naturopath, they can usually figure these things out.

yeah i have this problem too. i cannot eat from when i get up to about 11:00 AM. It is a really sucky feeling and i hate it. I've tried everything possible to get away from feeling sick but no matter what i do it does not work. The only thing that works is not eating in the morning. This has been happening for about 2 years now but i really havent done anthing about because it was never really a big problem.

Most likely you're having trouble with it because your body isn't used to eating so early. I also react the same way when I try to eat or drink anything in the morning, so I know what you're feeling.

If you want to start eating breakfast now, the best way is to start out with light foods, such as fruit or vegetables, or a nice light cereal. Try to stay away from heavier things, especially milk-based products, even though cereal is pretty alright to start out with. Basically, eat things that are easy on your stomach, that should ease you into the breakfast-eating-mode.

If you're still nauseous after eating, wait it out- it's hard, but it shouldn't be as bad as when you eat heavier things, like pancakes.

Hope it helped, and I hope you feel better.
