I have many issues, but now I am struggling with an IBS flare up that started right after Christmas. I have been continually horribly nauseated since, losing over 15 lbs.

My GP has given me Promethazine and Zofran but neither works. Neither has Bentyl and I think the last attempt, Amitiza maked it even worse. I took myself off it last night and had about six hours nausea free. Its back. I started taking Linzees today instead of the Amitiza.

Is there anything else I can try.

I took antibiotics just before Christmas and wonder if this caused my flare up. Just got more antibiotics last week, again for bronchitis and Tamiflu even though I was flu negative in the doctor's office.

I have an endoscopy Monday but am pretty sure it will be a non issue just like my colonoscopy was.

Tired of being green!

Hello,
Try to be relax, and also try to go a doctor digestive, insist to you GP.
And if there is nothing working say to your doctor or go to the hospital.

Here we are not doctors... maybe this will help you:

Ginger. The rhizome of Zingiber officinale, commonly known as ginger, has been used as a nausea remedy in various traditional systems of medicine for more than 2,000 years. ...
Vitamin B6. ...
Peppermint Essential Oil. ...
Chamomile Tea. ...
Lemon. ...
Cannabis Oil.


let us know how is the endoscopy, good luck body

Thank you for your response.
The endoscopy results that I have received so far show that I have irritation throughout my stomach lining. Biopsies were taken which, of course, I haven't found out the results yet. Follow up in a couple of weeks.

In the meantime, she was sent me in some promethazine enemas, which I will try. I will also try your suggestions. I shy away from cannabis oil because I am not sure it is legal in Texas as and have heard some confusing stories about the variability of strength from brand to brand. I am not personally against cannabis, though.

Hello.

I just wanted to tell you about a book that has been very helpful for me. It's written by a nutritionist who used to suffer from IBS. I figured it was worth a shot and so far so good (it's only been a couple of weeks but again so far so good) The book focuses on natural treatments and how he was able to cure himself after years of struggling with it. If you are interested, you can get more information at ibs.gr8.com
I learned a lot about IBS and although I am pretty well informed about alternative treatments and have tried most, there were many things in this book that I'd never heard of before that seem to be working. Best wishes.
