Well, of course, it could be some sort of stomach virus, but it's difficult to say, since the symptoms are so similar. Time will tell. If it's still going on after a few days or so, it certainly might be an MC flare. I hope it's just a virus.

Good luck,
Tex

Here are some "home remedies" for nausea:

Antihistamines, (the same kind usually used for allergies),are pretty good anti-nausea medications, and a few are sold strictly for that purpose. Two other classes of anti-nausea medicines are also available.

Ginger, or gingerroot, (at least 1,000 milligrams or 1 gram), is a pretty good anti-nausea treatment. Vitamin B6, (10 milligrams), also helps, sometimes.

Slow breathing sometimes helps - breath in through the nose, and out through the mouth. Repeat.

1 to 2 tbsp of any non-carbonated syrup may bring relief .

Peppermint or chamomile tea is capable of getting rid of the nauseating feeling.

Here are other possibilities:

What about taking a couple of Pepto Bismol caplets? They often settle my nausea and are good for the D. also.
