Experience W/ Colic Calm Gripe Water ? Prevacid/Zantac Not Working

Severe Sickness in Second pregnancy...help!

This is my second pregnancy, and I'm 8 weeks along today. It seems like the moment I found out, I started getting sick.

It's not just nausea and vomiting, but extreme dizziness, stomach cramps and diarhhea. My O.B.'s office just keeps givign me meds that my body violently rejects and ultimatly makes...
