Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
From your description I understand that you have IBS and allergy issues and have been taking pantoprazole and homeopathic medications like Coloycynthis and D-Hist.
A complain of nausea and vomiting for this long with an normal endoscopy and other investigations suggest that there are no structural cause and neither is it an acid problem.
It is possible that the daily medications that you are taking could be responsible for these problems. You should try withdrawing the homeo medications after the homeo consultation so as to identify the cause. Even you should try replacing pantoprazole with ranitidine. Even though the pantroprazole and the homeo medications are meant for reducing vomitings they may still cause nausea.
If these things are also not working then you can have an appointment with a psychiatrist who can help you with some relaxation therapies and Biofeedback therapy which can help in reducing the nausea.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.

Hello,
Sorry for the error.
The pathways and mechanism involved for nausea and vomiting are the same. Its good that you did not have vomiting associated with nausea.
Your problem of Diarrhea maybe related to you having IBS.
Still try switching the medications in consultation with your treating doctor and that should help suffice your problem. In case if the problem persists then do consider the relaxation therapies and bio-feedback. It will be useful for both your IBS as well as your nausea.
