I'm surprised Remeron wasn't helpful. It has 5ht3 antagonistic properties which help relieve nausea. The better med which I'm waiting for to come out is called renzapride. I also have a lot of GI problems... acid reflux,constipation,bloating,nausea. Anyways, 5ht3 antagonists such as Zofran(ondansetron) are used to relieve nausea and other symptoms. 5ht4 agonists like Zelnorm(tegaserod) are used to help relieve constipation,etc. The new med Renzapride that's in clinical trials right now has a dual action as a 5ht3 antagonist & 5ht4 agonist. So, I'm hoping it will be the cure for all my GI problems. I hope it comes out soon. Here's a link about with a little bit about renzapride:
