Constipation: The constipation may be causing the nausea. You may be constipated because of a recent stomach flu and dehydration. For constipation, you can use over the counter miralax (polyethylene glycol). If you look at the Bristol stool scale, your stools should be Bristol type 4. If the symptoms don't improve, see your doctor for further blood work to look for other causes like thyroid disease and diabetes.

Constipation: Exercise, more fluids, and more fiber in your diet.
