Suggest Medicine For Nausea, Diarrhea And Vomiting
my daughter (34 yrs old) has had diarrhea for almost 1 year. She also has bouts of nausea and vomiting that lasts for days and days. Zofran is not working any more. She s tried lomotil and didn t do anything. Her GI dr has her drinking bile binder but it only makes her more nauseous. Her dr says he s ordered a trillion dollar workup but still no other diagnosis other than atypical IBS and the symptoms continue! After hardly eating for 2 weeks now (b/c of the nausea), she s now in hospital getting antiemetics and IV fluids. Any help will be so appreciated!

Hi,
It is good to know that your daughter is under treatment & is getting IV fluids & anti-emetics. Hope she is on intravenous antibiotics also. She is under medical attention & diarrhea & vomiting will get controlled in a couple of days.
Nausea, diarrhoea & vomiting can occur due to IBS(Ulcerative colitis), Lactose intolerance & food allergies. Be specific of what she eats. Bacterial/Viral gastroenteritis, mal-absorptive syndrome, liver disorder may cause such symptoms.
Get her investigated & evaluated for the factor/pathology that is causing her discomfort. Get her treated. In the meantime give her boiled home made food, soups, veggies & keep her well hydrated.
Let her stay admitted in the hospital till she is well investigated & treated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
