C. diff, SIBO and chronic nausea

Posted by jillannw @jillannw, Dec 25, 2018

I started 8 months ago with either food poisoning or a stomach flu. I have never recovered. I have had every test done and continue to suffer from nausea everyday. In the middle of this I was diagnosed with and treated for c-diff twice but because I didn’t have the classic symptoms the drs at Mayo thought they were false positives. I also was diagnosed and treated for SIBO twice. The nausea everyday which is where this all started never went away. Has anyone had this and come up with a solution?

What has helped me is the RELIEF BAND. I buy it on Amazon and get the one with replaceable batteries instead of rechargeable. There is now cheaper versions that probably work just as well.

Other things that help is put cold cloths on your wrist .. another place to put a cold cloth is the back of the neck. You can also tap one of your wrist with your fingers.

You can also try smaller meals that are more easily digestible. You can look up lists of easily digestible foods on internet. Sweets and greasy foods can trigger nausea.

A big help would be to keep a journal. Notate what happens before the nausea hit. Did you eat? What did you eat? Did you take medicine? Which one? Were you taking a hot shower or out in the heat? Or maybe the cold? Were there other symptoms? What were they? Belly cramps? Bowel movement? Diarrhea? Headache? Backache? Other pain? Any other questions to answer should be written down and then talked over with your doctor/s.

I hope you find relief.

For the nausea, dizziness, motion sickness feeling I had on and almost off for a year I was prescribed Zofran (Ondansetron), while in de hospital they added Benadryl, but these didn’t completely help.
My acupuncturist gave me Agastache Tummy Formula. It stopped the motion sickness symptoms immediately. The following day I didn’t take it and about mid afternoon I started being quiet again. Then I took it again, once again the symptoms stopped right away. From then I took it every day twice a day for about three weeks. Then I realized I felt almost normal with a little bit of IBS related pain here and there but almost imperceptible. After the 3rd week I reduced it to one a day for a week, then I stopped completely. If I feel nauseous now I just take half of a tea spoon or less, and it helps me immediately. Stopping the motion sickness symptoms has helped me to be more comfortable and go back to more activities and and an exponential improvement of my health. My acupuncturist and taking care of my emotional health with the help of my therapist have helped me tremendously. I can now say I am healthy, I am comfortable, I am happy, I am human again.

I looked on Amazon for this and found a bottle of tablets that had Chinese writing on it. Where did you buy yours and is it a tablet, capsule or what and could you send me a picture of it?

Customers gave this really bad reviews. What exact kind do you have? They said it didn’t fit properly and the charger cord was flimsy.

I got it from my acupuncturist, i dont trust Amazon sellers on things like this.

It is better to buy it directly from herbal suppliers or Traditional Chinese Medicine herbs suppliers. I see there are a couple in the Internet.
Having said this, the syrup will help you with the symptoms but I think the acupuncture is important to balance your energy and start the healing process.

I don't use the rechargeable one. I use the one with replaceable batteries .. no cord. Reliefband Classic. I see the price has gone up .. my last one was 3-4 years ago. It is my second one. Usually at the bottom of the page Amazon will list similar items that probably work just as well at a lower price.

This is the official Amazon site for Reliefband. I think they have a regular store website they can be bought at.

She helps me we my gastric issues. When I saw her the first time I would see her 3/wk, I was supposed to reduce my sessions gradually but when I got better I stopped my visits. Then I got very sick in December so I started seeing her once a week in January, while she helped me with the bloating, nausea, diarrhea/constipation, anxiety and I don’t remember what else, I got better but I still had the motion sickness symptoms. I mentioned to her about 5 weeks ago, that’s when she prescribed me the syrup. My weekly acupuncture sessions, herbs and the syrup worked together, but I think the syrup stopped the constant cycle of motion sickness symptoms. Right now I feel normal. I had my session today, and I will have my next one next Monday and we will assess if I should start going every 10 days and so on until I go just once a month. This time I will follow hers instructions. I’m also starting functional medicine next week.
