How can Wilsons disease patients reduce possible nausea and indigestion when taking zinc?
I suggest that you take a small piece of lunch meat (turkey, bologna, ham, etc.) with your first morning dose of zinc. This should help settle your stomach. Do not take any carbohydrate (bread, etc.) with the dose–this is very important! The nausea usually abates as treatment persists. Occasionally, someone finds that nausea to persist, but lunchmeat generally helps. – Fred Askari, M.D.
