Marc,
Are you eating anything before you take meds? Do you take them all at =
the same time? If you do, try to take each at a different time.
What have you eaten the past couple of days?=20
I at times have had mild nausea if have eaten something that can cause =
some mild gas, but not to the extent of passing wind.
I have also had a similar problem if my stools seem to be on the hard =
side. I think that what happens is the that hardness irritates the =
intestinal tract and causes spasms.
I was Dx'ed with a spastic colon before I got my baclofen pump. I had a =
barium enema and saw the x-rays after. My colon looked like a string of =
hot dogs.
Some of the meds can cause nausea.

For any medication, the FDA requires that in a study group if 1% of the =
group shows any side effect, it must be reported. I have seen some =
studies where the placebo group has more side effects than the ones =
taking the actual medication.
If you have trouble with hard stools, you can take Colace(docusate =
sodium) or=20
PeriColace(casanthranol and ducosate soium) an mild laxative and stool =
softener.
