My mom's health is declining....

My husband & I are sole caregivers for my 82y.o. mother with moderate dementia. Her health has been declining for the past 6 weeks. She went from basic independent functioning to almost total dependence. She constantly complains of nausea, but no vomiting, accompanied with intermittent bouts of diarrhea. Her appetite has decreased dramatically. BP and blood sugars are all good. No recent changes in what meds she's taking. One doctor visit & 2 ER visits have yielded nothing. We are at our wits end. We consulted a geriatric specialist, he changed her antidepressant from Zoloft to Prozac, but I don't think there's been time to reach a therapeutic effect.

If anyone has any suggestions...
