Felling sick a lot?

Hi all,

I often feel really nauseous without actually being unwell. I have noticed this often comes after sensory overload, usually to temperature. Does anyone else get this? I guess my question is, is this an autistic thing and what can I do to stop it? 

Thank you!

    It can be good to look into all kinds of things around this. Proper hormone balance essentially helps the body regulate temperature. It could be useful to have your thyroid checked or ensure iodine intake (fish, eggs). It could be good to take a hormone balancing supplement - I've been taking a blend since I can remember. 

    Then what about hydration. I supplement tap water with spring water which has a higher pH & make sure I get the sodium I need as well (but I have low blood pressure, so I need to mind this). I'll have a shot of raw cranberry juice a few times a week, which also helps.

    Then there's a possibility your clothing is trapping heat. Polyesters are petroleum by-products. They're a really tiny thread of plastic. Try wearing 100% linen or cotton. There's a company called Living Crafts who make high cotton count underwear as well. 

    There might be more things to look into as well. x
