Guest Summerflowers Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 My mom, who has nonsmall cell lung cancer, has problems with nausea and occasional vomiting. She is not on chemotherapy or drugs that would be expected to cause this. It also appears for digestion is not that great. I'm wondering if there are some natural products she could explore with the doctor or ND that might help her stomach and digestion and make her more comfortable. Thank you, Laurel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ztweb Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Laurel, I don't know much about this...but my first question has to do with acid reflux. Both my babies had this, and it appeared that their tummies were upset alot of the time. We had them on prevacid and it really helped. I have heard it mentioned here too. I know that is a med and not natural, but thought I would put it in there. Let us know if you find out any more. God bless! Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
