Welcome! Do you see a GI or are you just working w/ a nutritionist? Are you taking any other meds?

I'm surprised you were told to take the probiotic on an empty stomach. I guess you could try it, but I had read you need to eat something first so the stomach acid doesn't just kill the bacteria.
I used to use ginger for nausea. I would sip on a ginger ale in the afternoon, because that's when I felt nauseated. It seemed to help.

I felt that way a couple of months ago and I turned out to be anemic. My GI ordered a blood test to test for thyroid, vitamin deficiencies, etc. ... they took three vials of blood to get all the tests done. My potassium was a little low as well. You may want to consider a blood test to rule anything out.

What can you do about anemia? Just take iron supplements? I have been told i have low iron.
