What Causes Frequent Diarrhea, Nausea And Vomiting That Persists Despite Medication?

I have been having stomach issues for awhile now. I have frequent diarrhea that s worse after meals. When I go more than 4 hours without eating, I get nauseated and vomit. I m just tired of battling my stomach issues. I have seen a gastroenterologist who did a colonoscopy about 2 years ago, but just said I had a microscopic colitis, whatever that is.. he prescribed me medicine that did not help. He gave me something else, but that medicine makes me feel even more nauseated and caused me to gain weight. I believe something else is wrong with my stomach other than the colitis.

Thank for your consultation and sorry for such a disturbing illness
Microscopic colitis gives more of diahhrea than vomiting
first it's better to have anti emetic drugs to releave the nausea and vomiting
anti diarrhea will also assist
Due to loose of fluids and possible electrolyte imbalance Intravenous fluids and dextrose is advisable
Now Investigation to get the cause is necessary
1. stool analysis ova, cyst, culture and sensitivity to rule out infections.
2. kidneys functions UECs for kidney.
3. CT scan abdomen for ant abnormal mass in the abdomen causing obstruction
4 Endoscopy for upper GIT abnormality due to vomiting
The treatment will depend on the out vome.
