Some feedback on my nausea (in case it can help someone else) After a month of adjusting my diet, drinking no alcohol, drinking one cup of coffee a day, I still feel nauseous at random and even had a terrible Kaapse Hoop. It has almost been a year now that I felt this way and I am close to just start crying or drinking. After going to see my GP again, she referred me to a physician (who was very proud to show me his Comrades photos in his consultation room ). I think we chatted about running for half an hour and about my problem for 10 minutes. He said it is definitely not my diet and I must get tested for the Helicobacter Pylori infection. In short, it is bacteria that grows in your digestive tract that attacks your stomach lining. I got my results back today and it is POSITIVE!! I have need been so happy about a positive bloodtest . I have to start with two sets of very strong antibiotics for two weeks to kill the bacteria, which will hopefully sort out the problem. This also means I am going to miss Tough One this year. I guess not to run one important race this year is worth not feeling this way ever again.
