CASE HISTORIES

Nausea and Vomiting After Meals

R.B. had been suffering from postprandial nausea and vomiting for six months. This was related to the quantity of food consumed at each meal and to the sugar content. Sweets nauseated her ininiediately. The only food she could eat in any quantity was bread. If she forced herself to keep down the food, she would become very ill. Over six months, she had lost more than twelve pounds. She reported that ice cream and cheese made her ill, as did garlic and onions. If she did not eat by 4 P.M., she developed a severe headache. On the Weight Watchers diet, which is low in milk, she felt much better. She had a similar episode, lasting six months, seven years before. In addition, she had arthritis of her fingers and knees, which were painful and swollen. Milk-allergic patients, in my experience, often need pyridoxine and zinc. She had some stigmata of this double deficiency, including stretch marks on her body, white areas on her fingernails, and acne.

I (A. H.) advised her to eliminate all foods containing sugar, all milk products, and beef. She was also given ascorbic acid, pyridoxine, chelated zinc, plus a multivitamin tablet. Six weeks later, she had nausea and vomiting only once a day. She found she was allergic to oranges, apples, bananas and peanuts, but she could eat other foods, including eggs and goat's milk. Two-and-a-half months after I first saw her, she was back to normal, although she still suffered from arthritis. I then added niacinamide.
