Introduction
If a woman of childbearing age experiences this condition, has had sexual intercourse, and her menstrual period is delayed by more than ten days, it could be due to hormonal changes associated with pregnancy. It might also be caused by gastric ulcer, in which stomach acid irritates the ulcerated area of the gastric mucosa during meals. Additionally, cholecystitis often impairs digestive function and may therefore cause the aforementioned symptoms.

Nausea during breakfast may be caused by pregnancy-related reactions or diseases such as gastric ulcer or cholecystitis.

1. Pregnancy-related reaction

If a woman of childbearing age experiences this symptom, has had sexual intercourse, and her menstrual period is delayed by more than ten days, the nausea when eating breakfast could be due to hormonal changes associated with pregnancy. This condition, known as morning sickness, may also be accompanied by symptoms such as drowsiness and fatigue.

2. Gastric ulcer

Under normal circumstances, gastric glands secrete gastric acid during meals to aid digestion. However, if a person has a gastric ulcer, the gastric acid may irritate the ulcerated area of the stomach lining, causing nausea when eating breakfast. This may also be accompanied by abnormal symptoms such as abdominal pain and bloating.

3. Cholecystitis

Cholecystitis often impairs digestive function, which may lead to nausea when eating breakfast. The nausea tends to be particularly noticeable after consuming greasy or fatty foods.
