IBS Nausea is one of the very common symptom for people who suffer from Irritable bowel syndrome. It is not exactly known what causes it even though recent research now points to an overgrowth of bad bacteria in the small intestines a major contributing factor.

One thing that is for certain is that IBS sufferers have very sensitive colon muscles and this might be one of the reasons why they sometimes cannot hold any food down.

The cause of nausea in each IBS sufferer also seems to be unique to each individual and therefore what works for one patient might not work for the other.
