Nausea is one of the many symptoms associated with Irritable bowel syndrome. It is not exactly known what causes this nausea but recent research points to an excess of bad bacteria in the small intestines.

One thing that is for certain is that IBS sufferers have very sensitive colon muscles and this might be one of the reasons why they sometimes cannot hold any food down.

The cause of nausea in each IBS sufferer seems to be unique and therefore what works for Mr A may not necessarily work for Mr B.

This can be frustrating because you essentially become a guinea pig as your doctor has to keep trying different drugs on you to see which one would resolve the problem.

One thing you must bear in mind is that whatever drug you doctor may prescribe for you to use, it will not treat or cure your IBS. It will only mask your symptoms and not cure it in any manner.

Other common symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome apart from nausea include:

1. Constipation

2. Abdominal pain and/or discomfort

3. Flatulence/gas

4. Stomach making funny noises

5. Bloating

6. Diarrhea

Some simple triggers of Irritable Bowel Syndrome Nausea:

A) Gluten (in grains like wheat, oats, rye)

B) Sugar

C) Some medications

D) Stress

E) Coffee and Tea

F) Spicy/Hot foods

G) Sweeteners, and of course

H) Alcohol.

Simple steps that will help ease IBS Nausea.

1. Pure Peppermint Oil: is one of the most effective remedies for digestive issues and that includes IBS. It calms the wall of the stomach and intestines. Apart from that it also has pain killing properties and is very good for stomach cramps, spasms and abdominal pain.

It is best taken in capsule form, but make sure that the brand you buy are enteric coated, meaning that they will reach the intestines before dissolving, otherwise you could end up with heartburn

You could also try peppermint tea, which is not as effective as peppermint oil, but will also make a significant difference to your symptoms.

2. Increase the amount healthy bacteria in your gut: It is important that you boost the amount of healthy bacteria in your gut. The easiest way to do this is to reduce the amount of sugar in your diet, eat more fermented foods like olives, yogurt, and sour cream, and take high quality probiotics on a regular basis.

We have looked at the various symptoms of Irritable bowel syndrome and also touched on two very effective natural remedies for some of these symptoms.
