Nausea after eating may be related to a defense against food poisoning, side effects of medications, illnesses or physical exercise. It is an unpleasant subjective sensation as wave, which can lead to vomiting. There are several reasons that my nausea occur. For example, food intake exposes people to potential viral and bacterial infections, allergies and food intolerances. Spoiled foods smell rancid or sour. Spoiled foods can also bitter, but the smell and the taste does not always detect spoiled or poor-quality food. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhea to help rid the gastrointestinal tract of toxins ingested, nausea, and plays a role in a conditioned response to avoid eating substances offensive. Vomiting empties a harmful chemical from the gut.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 76 million cases of food-related illness occur in the United States each year from food contaminated by E. coli, Salmonella, Hepatitis A, Campylobacter, Shigella, Norovirus, and Listeria. On an annual basis, about 325,000 people are hospitalized with a diagnosis of food poisoning, and 5,000 die. Green leafy vegetables, eggs and tuna are the riskiest foods regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Exercise
High-intensity exercise and low immediately after eating and before eating causes nausea. Nausea is greater during exercise when you are hungry. There is no difference of nausea experienced by men or by women during physical activity. Nausea after eating was higher during exercise at high intensity during exercise at low intensity.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy-induced nausea and vomiting after eating in the first quarter of rapid growth due to the development of the fetal central nervous system of the fetus. The development of the fetal central nervous system is highly sensitive to toxins. Pregnant women are picky in the first trimester of pregnancy, avoid products with meat and fish, which are more likely to contain pathogens that could harm the fetus. Nausea and vomiting after eating in the first quarter is a normal event during pregnancy.
Side Effects of Drugs
Cyclical vomiting during chemotherapy or as a side effect of drugs is mysterious, because no one knows what determines the temporal pattern. Chemotherapy drugs or possibly signals that modulate the response neural systems nausea. Anti-inflammatory drugs relieve pain, but can irritate the stomach lining, which can be relieved with antacids. Antibiotics and other drugs cause nausea if taken on an empty stomach.
The physiological causes
The autonomic nervous system with the outputs of sweating, salivation, gastric function, vasoconstriction, and often is intimately connected to the neural pathways for nausea and vomiting. A common pathway for neural nausea has not been identified. Research at the National Institutes of Health indicates that the systems of the brain stem for breathing, swallowing and cardiovascular control are involved in nausea and vomiting. In addition, the network of airways and sensory pathways for nausea and vomiting are involved in gut-brain communication, but the neural circuitry that generates the nausea is still unknown.
