Check for C.diff: These can all be side effects of the amoxicillin. For nausia try taking the pills with food. Its absorption will not be affected. Do not take immodium or Lomotil (diphenoxylat and atropine) which can make you sicker if you have c. Difficlile overgrowth/colitis. See your doctor and get a stool c. Diff toxin test.
