What Causes Nausea, Diarrhea With Loss Of Appetite?
My mother is 79 yo (not a symptom). She was in good health until November. She got a UTI and was given several courses of antibiotics which caused C-Diff. She has been under tx for both and the last two blood tests, stool cultures and urinalysis came back negative. Yet, she won't eat, drink and feels as ill as when she had C-Diff. Still has nausea, diarrhea, no appetite and wants to sleep all of the time. I'm worried it's something more.

Dear friend ,as you have informed that your mother's urine culture,stool and blood reports are normal you can be sure that the present condition of her is not due to any serious cause.because of old age she istaking time to recuperate from that past illness.try to inforn her that every report of her is within normal limit which will boost her spirit.for nausea you can give antiemetics,also take good care at providing her nutritious diet to cope with this old-age physical weakness.so for you there is no need to worry about her.thanks.
