Question : Going on my third week of feeling nauseous, wanting to vomit, sometimes with a headache, feel bloated,loose stool, sometimes very watery. Causes extreme tiredness. This is not continuous but hits me on and off, maybe 2 or 3 times a day only but the nausea is always there but less acute. Bad heartburn too, developed a fever blister today ( but no fever )

Hi,
Thank you for query

You seem to have Irritable bowel syndrome.
I need more information to help you further.
Since how many days you are having loose stools?
Do you have any abdomen pain?
Are you on any medications?g

Mean while you can take antacid Tab.Pan-D twice daily for 1 week.
Syp Sucrafil 10ml thrice daily to relieve bloating,heart burn,nausea.
Drink plenty of fluids daily at least 4-5 litres per/day.
Avoid fatty diet,red meat.
Take fruits like kiwi and papaya daily in dinner which really helps you a lot.

Get back if any query.

Dr VSK

Thank you for your answer. Loose stool is better now,and I have no pain with this. I do drink a lot of XXXXXXX Tonic Water, my husband wonders if that might contribute....16 oz sometimes twice a day. I take no Medication but sometimes an antacid for heartburn ( Famotidine 10 mg Calcium Carbonate 800 mg )

16oz is too less.you need to drink at least 100oz-135oz. Drinking plenty of fluids will shed out toxins from body.

Take Pan D twice daily before food for 1 week.
Avoid cofffee(mandatory)
Take sporolac sachets every 4th hrly or Probiotic pill once daily.
