C. diff, SIBO and chronic nausea

My mom is now 84 and has been experiencing chronic nausea for 6 yrs that use to be seasonal in Alabama (Feb - Oct), but now year round. She has recently started taking Imipromene to reduce the sensitivity of the gut which takes several weeks to start working, but about the time it seemed to be working she had a bad UTI and of course a round of antibiotics. Her nausea during the UTI and antibiotics was high level and around the clock coupled with anxiety and lack of sleep. She is taking Nexium and now Phenergen (vs Reglan which stopped working after 2 months). Her gut seems more sensitive so we are trying to give her foods with probiotics and prebiotics to build the healthy bacteria again. Phenergan is helping her sleep at night better, but unstable due to dizziness. We are not sure what to do and her gastroenterologist seems puzzled. We are also going to try the ReliefBand and praying that works for her! Any suggestions of a great doctor in Alabama or near?

I still highly recommend the phenergan, which I take each day. The side effects, at least for me, are minimal.
Yes, I have and it is very helpful, but costly. However, I may reconsider after my upcoming appointment with the hepatologist because I am concerned about all of the medications I take that may be having an effect on my liver. In fact, I just received a new prescription for migraines, Nutrec, and while it is a miracle drug, my pharmacist cautioned me about the fact that there is a warning on the literature that says not to use if you have a liver disease, which I have. But, one only gets 8 tablets a month, and I doubt I will use all of them in 30 days.
Thanks for the information
Of course I have.
I understand your issue with chronic nausea and dizziness. I have finally found relief.
A little back ground: I am an 84 year old female...weight 133 pounds.
In October, 2017 I had colon surgery (Colectomy) ...6 inches of sigmoid colon removed due to Diverticulitis. After that I suffered with bouts of constipation and diarrhea. The worst symptom was Chronic Nausea and Dizziness...I mostly just sat and watched TV.
I saw several doctors and took medications...nothing worked until I saw a new gastroenterologist.
After a couple of trials He prescribed NORTRIPTYLINE 25MG, 1 capsule nightly. He also prescribed ODANSETROM 4 MG if needed. Like magic the nausea improved. I began these meds July, 2022. Only twice have I felt a need to take the ODANSETRON.
About the same time I started taking BRAGG'S APPLE CIDER VINEGAR (2 TBSP) with raw, unfiltered honey ( about 1 tsp or to taste, in a glass of water. God Bless you and I hope this helps.
