Brief Answer:
IBS

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your question on HCM
I do understand your pain and discomforts

As per your history is concerned your problem which you have described may be due to IBS and nausea is due to the medications which you are taking right now.so you may check your stool examined to ruled out any infection present or not. Do a lifestyle modification for IBS like eliminating high gas foods, eliminating gluten, eliminating FODMAPS, and regarding antibiotics ask your doctor about [rifaximin].with probiotics like lactobacillus.

Hope you got your answer if any more information needed let me know.

Thanks
