SYMPTOM
It's that queasy, sick feeling you get shortly after you've eaten a meal. This can often be due to indigestion, eating too quickly, food intolerances, or sometimes even stress impacting your digestion.

Showing 9 causes
Acid reflux into esophagus
Stomach acid flows back up into your food pipe, irritating its lining. This irritation could cause a burning feeling and make you feel sick.
Food intolerance or sensitivity
Your body struggles to break down certain foods, like dairy or gluten. Undigested parts ferment, causing gas, bloating, and nausea.
Spicy or fatty food intake
These foods could irritate your stomach lining or slow digestion. This irritation and delayed emptying could lead to nausea.
Overeating or eating too fast
Your stomach gets stretched too much, or you swallow too much air. This could overwhelm your digestive system and trigger nausea.
Gallbladder bile duct blockage
A stone may block the duct carrying bile from your gallbladder. Eating, especially fatty foods, could trigger pain and sickness as the gallbladder tries to empty.
Gastritis inflammation
The lining of your stomach becomes inflamed, often from infection or irritation. Food could then trigger pain and nausea.
Peptic ulcer irritation
A sore in your stomach or duodenum lining gets aggravated by food. This inflammation and irritation causes pain and could lead to nausea.
Delayed gastric emptying
Your stomach empties food too slowly after meals, often due to nerve issues. This leads to feeling uncomfortably full and could trigger nausea.
Pancreatitis inflammation
Your pancreas becomes inflamed, often triggered by gallstones or alcohol. Food intake exacerbates this inflammation, causing severe nausea and pain.
