Unexplained nausea can have various causes, ranging in severity from 'minor' to 'generally fatal'. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.
Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose unexplained nausea, we could:
Cause | Probability | Status |
---|---|---|
Hepatitis | 97% | Confirm |
Zinc Toxicity | 28% | Unlikely |
Cirrhosis Of The Liver | 22% | Unlikely |
Gastritis | 1% | Ruled out |
Magnesium Toxicity | 0% | Ruled out |
High Histamine | 0% | Ruled out |
Candida / Yeast | 0% | Ruled out |
Gallbladder Disease | 0% | Ruled out |
