What Causes Nausea Early In The Morning Or While On Empty Stomach?

I am having nausea, especially early morning upon waking up. Also I have a history of intestinal problems, I.e. Frequent gas, especially after eating. I suspect my food might be too spicy for me. The nausea has just occurred lately, for the first time. An empty stomach seems to bring the nausea too, along with burping and gas. I have a history of stomach and intestinal problems, for which my Dr. has prescribed Prilosec and related medicine and added probiotics several yrs. ago. They give only some relief. I also have a difficult time with being regular and have alternating loose bowels and constipation. I have to have fiber supplements every day and can t seem to regulate a consistent outcome! Thank you for your opinion.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
As you mention,your diet is spicier. So you probably have gastritis. In early morning, empty stomach after many hours of fasting in night, acid irritates the already inflammed area. Hence change your diet plan. Eat more at morning, and only few pieces of fruits at night. Divide your daily food in 5 intervals. Take fibre rich food, instead of fibre supplements. Avoid non -veg foods and high fat food.
