I have been vomiting every morning since i
was 15 i am now 30.its 2008 now.I have
been given allsorts of medication from
domperidone,zantack,omeprazole,even
lorazapam cos gp thought it was
stress,beta blockers as well My gran died
at 55 of stomach cancer so did her mum.Now
i have a bug called Hpylory it causes
stomach cancer,an other members of my
family has it.I have been given meds to
get rid of it but it comes back.I have
also had a camera in my stomach and they
found a hiatus hernia,enamel on my teeth
has gone,due to getting sick every day,i
find it hard to plan a meal cos if i dont
feel like eating at that time i will puke
just after a couple of mouth fulls.I can
only eat when i feel i can.I have been
passed around in the n.h.s in the uk for
15 years and everyone i see has no
answer.I saw a stomach consultant he said
slight hiatus hernia radiographer said
food reflux,then got a letter from stomach
consultant saying no reflux,even though
wen i lie down after a drink the drink
comes back in my mouth.I had a barium
swollow put me on table tipped me upside
down,i heard radiographer say food reflux
but got the letter off consultant saying
no reflux,even though in the past have
been diagnosed with reflux,and
hydrochloric acid from gettin sick killed
enamell on my teeth.I was passed to ear
nose and throat consultant and she said
could be sensivity in top of stomach and
eosofogus or could be the stomach is not
moving prop and a pressure build up could
be the cause.So the lates plan is
lansoperazole 2 a day and gaviscon
advance,i have doubts just close my
stomach from goin the wrong way.anyone
know someone in leading edge stomach
science,i cant take no more.nhs are not
sure if they will do my teeth on there
remit yet.

Do you usually get episodes of vomiting
with rapid onset, persisting over a number
of hours or days, and separated by
symptom-free intervals, or you have
everyday vomiting?
Do you get abdominal pain before
experiencing vomiting, like first thing in
the morning on waking?

Sounds like you've had a pretty rough time
of it. I don't have an exact answer for
you but here are some things I know. H
pylori is the cause of stomach ulcers. I
was on a treatment for that for a few
months and that took care of the problem.
But it seems that your ulcer has come back
or has never gone away. Also, I found
that my stomach is really sensitive to
aspirin and ibuprofen; they both cause
acid reflux for me. The real kicker was
when I began throwing up suddenly with
little or no warning. I had come off
sodas and was drinking lots of juice.
Turns out that my stomach can't take all
the citric acid that's in juice. Most of
the juice I was drinking was fruit punch
that only contained about 10% real juice
but that was still too much for my stomach
to handle. If you take a lot of
aspirin/ibuprofen or drink lots of juice
you may want to eliminate those things and
see what happens. I wish you the best of
luck.
