Introduction: Why Nausea and Vomiting Need a New Approach

Nausea and vomiting are among the most common and disruptive symptoms that people experience. While over-the-counter medications may offer temporary relief, they often fail to address the root causes of these conditions. At Patients Medical in New York City, we take an integrative approach to treat nausea and vomiting, going beyond symptom management. Through a combination of conventional medicine, holistic therapies, and functional medicine, we work to uncover the underlying causes and offer lasting solutions to restore your well-being.

What Is Nausea and Vomiting?

Nausea and vomiting are not diseases themselves, but rather symptoms of an underlying issue. They can occur due to a wide variety of causes and can vary in severity, from mild discomfort to debilitating episodes. Chronic nausea and vomiting can interfere with daily life, affecting your nutrition, hydration, and overall quality of life.

Common Symptoms of Mood Swings

The following symptoms often indicate an underlying gynecological issue:

  • Digestive disorders
  • Infections
  • Neurological conditions
  • Hormonal changes
  • Medications
  • Emotional stress and anxiety
  • Toxins or food sensitivitie
  • Chronic conditions

Root Causes: Why Do You Experience Nausea and Vomiting?

Functional medicine seeks to identify and treat the underlying causes of nausea and vomiting. Here are some common factors that can contribute to these symptoms:

  • Gut Health Issues: Conditions like leaky gut, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or food sensitivities can disrupt digestion and lead to nausea.
  • Digestive Imbalance: Gastritis, acid reflux (GERD), and stomach ulcers cause irritation and inflammation in the digestive system, often triggering nausea.
  • Toxin Exposure: Heavy metals, chemicals, and foodborne pathogens can affect the body’s balance, leading to vomiting.
  • Hormonal Disruptions: Pregnancy, thyroid imbalances, and adrenal dysfunction can alter gut function, causing nausea.
  • Chronic Infections or Inflammation: Systemic inflammation or infections like H. pylori bacteria can irritate the stomach lining, leading to nausea.

Mental and Emotional Stress: Anxiety, depression, and stress can directly impact digestive health and cause nausea.

Diagnostic Testing We Use

At Patients Medical, we perform comprehensive diagnostic testing to understand the root causes of your low sex drive. Some of the tests we use include:

  • Comprehensive stool tests to check for gut imbalances, infections, or food sensitivities
  • Blood tests to identify nutritional deficiencies, liver, or kidney issues
  • Thyroid function testing
  • Hormone panels (estrogen, cortisol, etc.)
  • Inflammatory markers (CRP, ESR)
  •  Food sensitivity testing
  • Gastrointestinal imaging (if required)
  •  H. pylori testing for infections

Real Case Study:Jame's Journey to Relief

Jame’s, age 34, came to us after experiencing debilitating nausea and vomiting for months. Despite seeing multiple doctors and taking anti-nausea medication, she wasn’t improving. After detailed testing, we discovered an imbalance in her gut microbiome and an undiagnosed thyroid issue.

We developed a personalized treatment plan that included:

  • A gut-healing protocol with probiotics and an anti-inflammatory diet
  • Nutritional IV therapy for dehydration and nutrient support
  • Thyroid hormone optimization
  • Stress reduction techniques (meditation and acupuncture)

After three months of integrative treatment, Jessica’s nausea and vomiting ceased, and she regained her energy and vitality.
