Intermittant nausea and vomiting

My husband and I began Atkins on September 15 (so we're still in induction).
We've both lost weight already, but I've been experiencing something my
husband has not - nausea and, twice now including this morning, vomiting.

I HATE feeling so lousy...what on earth could be causing it? The first time
the vomiting occurred was on Monday, and I dismissed it, thinking I worked
out too soon after breakfast. Tuesday I felt fine. On Wednesday I
experienced nausea again, but no vomiting, and felt better later in the day.
This morning I again experienced vomiting, and this time I hadn't even had
breakfast yet, only water. I'm also experiencing hiccups quite a lot.

I know for a fact I'm not pregnant (don't ask me how I can be so sure unless
you want some squicky details), so it's not morning sickness. I don't seem
to be experiencing any other symptoms of a bug. On Monday I wondered if
perhaps it was the ham I had with my egg for breakfast, but that doesn't
account for this morning. I have a lot more weight to lose than my husband
does, and I'm the food/sugar addict, not him, so could this be some sort of
withdrawal?

Any insights would be welcome; I'm getting awfully discouraged and ready to
give up.

My mother (who isn't doing Atkins or any other kind of diet) gets
intermittent sickness like that, and she usually puts it down to
'something she ate'. Did your husband also have this problem? Did you
and he eat the same things? Could it be psychological?

Ketosis can cause nausea in some people. It is a little bit unusual to
experience it this far into induction, but it is not unheard of. Try upping
your carb limit by 5-15g, drink more water, and don't let yourself get
hungry. As counterintuitive as it may feel, when you are experiencing
nausea you will probably feel better if you eat something.

Hope you feel better.

I started Atkins the first of September and starting Sunday afternoon the
21st I started the sick at my stomach feeling that progressed to the point I
had to lie down in a dark room to get feeling better.
I have kept a little sour stomach feeling since then. I made it through
induction and have tried to keep my carbs below 20.
My food intake is the same most days.

If you are through induction, why are you keeping your carbs below 20? The
curious want to know.... :-) BJ

I had this my second day of Atkins because I didn't bother with the salad
you're supposed to have. Make sure you're eating the recommended veggies!

(Atkins from 1/7/03 - 6/5/03 - lost 46 lbs!)

I am a creature of bad habits. It would be easy for me to "Get off" the
diet and return to what got me to 365 lbs. I am now at 345 and want to make
a lifestyle change that will not allow me to gain back weight and add more.
I have been 190 lbs 4 times in my life and in order to make my life
productive I need to keep it there once I reach the goal.

I understand, but if you force yourself to keep to a diet that makes you
ill, you will eventually go off it anyway. Try adjusting the plan a *small
amount. Extra veggies, and perhaps cut back on the dairy a little. If
upping your carb count a little will make the sour stomach go away, it will
be easier to stay with the plan for life.

Could be totally unrelated. Just might a coincidence it's happening now,
during your diet. Safe bet is see your doc.
