Symptom 4: The Nausea Nuance: Persistent Queasiness and Collagenous Colitis
Next on our list of collagenous colitis symptoms is nausea. Persistent nausea can be more than just a reaction to a bad meal or a passing stomach bug. If it’s happening often, you should consider collagenous colitis as a potential cause. But, let’s break down what it means in the context of this condition.
Nausea in collagenous colitis can be a result of the increased movement in the digestive tract. This heightened activity can create a sensation of queasiness or even the urge to vomit, which is what we refer to as nausea. Moreover, the inflammation in the colon can also disrupt the balance of your gut, further contributing to this feeling of nausea.
Dealing with persistent nausea can be both physically and emotionally draining. It can affect your appetite and enjoyment of food, lead to weight loss, and significantly impact your quality of life. If you’re experiencing frequent nausea, it’s important to seek medical help to determine the cause and find an effective treatment.(4)
