Vitamin D and nausea in gastroparesis
We delved into an intriguing question: how do low vitamin D levels affect nausea in people experiencing gastroparesis, a condition that slows gastric emptying? By measuring the vitamin D levels of patients from the Gastroparesis Clinical Consortium Registry, we aimed to uncover the relationships between vitamin D, nausea, and gastric function.
Our findings revealed that over half of the patients had low vitamin D levels, specifically 56.1% of the 513 individuals studied. We observed a clear association between these low levels of vitamin D and increased experiences of nausea and vomiting. This was particularly notable in patients with delayed gastric emptying, where those with low vitamin D levels reported significantly more nausea.
While the study showed a correlation, it did not address whether supplementing with vitamin D could directly alleviate these symptoms. Instead, we found that lower vitamin D levels also related to a greater retention of food in the stomach after meals, which hints at a connection to gastric neuromuscular dysfunction. Overall, our study emphasized a noteworthy link between vitamin D and nausea but stopped short of confirming any direct treatment benefits.

We explored how vitamin D levels affect nausea and other premenstrual symptoms (PMS) while considering the influence of genetics. Our study involved 716 women between the ages of 20 and 29, who provided blood samples to measure their vitamin D status and completed questionnaires about their PMS experiences.
By classifying participants as either vitamin D sufficient or insufficient based on their plasma levels, we examined how these levels correlated with nausea, alongside a specific genetic variation in the vitamin D receptor gene. Interestingly, we found that women with the CC genotype who had low vitamin D levels were more likely to experience nausea, whereas those with the TT genotype exhibited a low likelihood of suffering from nausea under similar conditions.
Overall, we can say that vitamin D's impact on nausea does not occur in isolation; it is modified by genetic factors. This highlights the importance of considering both vitamin D status and genetic background when trying to understand the factors contributing to PMS symptoms like nausea.

Vitamin C ineffective against nausea
We explored the effects of vitamin C as a treatment for nausea and vomiting in pregnancy, also known as emesis gravidarum. Our study involved 111 participants, who were given either vitamin C-containing chewing gum, a placebo, or no treatment at all. We monitored them over two follow-up visits in early pregnancy to assess their symptoms.
While we measured various factors that could influence nausea—including hormone levels like hCG and DAO—our findings showed that the chewing gum did not effectively reduce nausea symptoms compared to the placebo or no treatment. Specifically, the vitamin C gum was not associated with any significant alleviation of nausea or vomiting.
Interestingly, we found that elevated levels of hCG were linked to increased nausea severity. In contrast, higher levels of DAO appeared to have a protective effect against symptoms. Additionally, elevated thyroxine and pyridoxine levels correlated with worsened nausea.
Overall, while vitamin C is often highlighted for its health benefits, our results suggest it does not play a significant role in treating nausea during pregnancy. This study highlights the complexities behind nausea in pregnancy, indicating that further research is necessary to uncover effective treatment options.

The best prenatal vitamins! Although larger than I expected, they are easy to swallow. I take one each morning with breakfast and have never felt nauseous or ill. My doctor agrees they provide all essential nutrients, so I highly recommend them. I suggest swallowing them with applesauce or yogurt for added ease.

This product is fantastic! I started taking these prenatal vitamins in my second month at 20 weeks pregnant. They do not leave any aftertaste and have caused no side effects, even during my severe nausea until week 15. I feel confident I'm getting all the necessary vitamins for my baby and myself. Trusted brand, highly recommended.

We conducted a retrospective cohort study to investigate the relationship between nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP) and dysmenorrhea measured by a verbal rating scale. Our research included 443 pregnant women, divided into those experiencing NVP and a control group.
From our findings, we noticed a clear association between moderate to severe dysmenorrhea and a heightened risk of NVP, especially during the first trimester. This suggests that those with painful menstrual symptoms may face an increased likelihood of nausea and vomiting as part of their pregnancy experience.
Importantly, we also examined the impact of periconceptional supplementation with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Our results indicated that taking DHA could potentially lower the risk of NVP, offering a glimmer of hope for managing nausea during pregnancy. This suggests that combining DHA with standard prenatal care might be beneficial for those who struggle with these symptoms.
Overall, our study sheds light on the intricate connections between menstrual pain and pregnancy-related nausea, emphasizing the potential protective role of DHA in improving women's health during this time.
