C. diff, SIBO and chronic nausea
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?

Have you tried olanzapine? It is off-label to treat nausea, but it helped me. The Relief Band was minimally helpful, but some seem to get lots of relief from it.
Do you have low sodium?
will try thanks
dont know
thanks
I still highly recommend the phenergan, which I take each day. The side effects, at least for me, are minimal.
Have you considered cannabis for your nausea? It works wonders for cancer patients.
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.
Was taking dexilant 60 mg once a day and had nausea at very high level about 20% of the day. Now taking dexilant 30 mg twice a day and have nausea at a low level about 80% of the day. In essence, I have less nausea now for a longer part of the day. Have GERD and gastritis. Yes, I know it is confusing but any ideas how I can find some balance? It is like I now have low level nausea most of the day. Thanks in advance for your help.
