Hi,

Noted the history of nausea, feeling sleepy/dizzy at night before sleep, foul smelling abdominal gas, drop in energy levels, craving for Pepsi, wants to know the potential reasons. All the symptoms that you have noticed might be due to sub-clinical intestinal infection like gastroenteritis, the craving for Pepsi is due to hypoglycemia an hence low energy level as your body might have got adopted to this.

I would advise you the following:

- Send the stool for tests, tests of blood.

- Get started on an antibiotic, metronidazole, activated charcoal and so on.

- Get proper hydration and electrolyte balance.

Clinical evaluation and examination is done to get a probable diagnosis and ask for further investigations, and give any additional treatment as per the findings.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant
