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?

You can get D- Mannose with Cranberry at a health food store or order it online. I used to get UTI,s all the time from a weak immune system. Read about it. Keeps the UTI,s away and it's all natural. Hope this can help someone

Do you have low sodium?

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.

Hello.
Yes, I take phenergan regularly, often every 6 hours as needed. While I have been prescribed other drugs for nausea such as Zofran and Reglan, these 2 drugs come with unpleasant side effects, and my doctor did advise me that Reglan has been known to cause neurological damage.
I take phenergan because of a liver disease. My pancreatic and liver ducts are dilated. Nausea is a frequent side effect of this problem.
As a side bar, I too get frequent UTI's and the antibiotics are hard on my stomach. Taking a probiotic along with the antibiotic has proved helpful. But, I do know that frequent use of antibiotics can create long term problems with one's stomach. I am still recovering from my last course of antibiotics that were given 2 months ago. It is not unusual for this to happen.
I am so sorry about your mother, and I hope she is feeling better soon. Check out some probiotics for her.
I wish you both well.
