2 Months of Regergitating My Food Please Help Posted: 05-08-07 20:36pm
Back in Feb I started vomiting but the
food was never digested. Over time it got
worse. Now no matter what i eat no matter
how small the amount of food up it comes.
I eat I get a tightening in my stomach and
I throw up. Sometimes I fight to try to
keep it down but the pain of the
tightening becomes to intense and I have
to throw it up. I have been drinking water
to help so it does not hurt to throw up
because the food is not digested. I have
been very dehydrated on a few occasions
and now I sip on gaterade but I can only
take small sips throughout the day. There
is no nausia just the tightening and as
soon as it comes up I feel better but I am
hungery all the time and get dizzy spells,
I have lost over 30lbs and feel like crap
all the time.
Can anyone help me????

you really need to see your doctor. I'm
worried about dehydration. There are a
couple of reasons for vomiting right after
eating but you need to be seen today to
rectify the dehydration and electrolyte
imbalances

and you haven't seeing a doctor yet?? Two
days vomiting I would have been at the
doctor.
Look the doctor needs to find out what
your problem cause you really have a loud
and clear situation here. That sounds like
a problem the daughter of a friend of mine
had where she vomitted the food it didn't
got to the stomach. One of the little
muscles that is in the opening of the
stomach (there is one that opens and other
that closes in synchronization so the food
gets into your stomach) stopped
functioning, means like became vague and
she begun to vomit all food like you
describe. So she lost all the weight like
that but she got treatment which involved
being hooked to a machine most of the day
until that muscle began working agian.
Anyways so you better run to the hospital
asap and find out what is going on with
you. It sounds serious to me.

So sorry didn't mean to leave this out
just so frustrated. I have been to my Dr.
When it first started it was just in the
morning and mostly with coffee. So I
figured it was some stress and the coffee
and stopped drinking it. However over the
next couple weeks it got worse to where
nothing stayed down. I went from 205lbs to
160lbs in 6 weeks.
My first time seeing a Dr was in the ER
and they took blood and urine all the
found was a kidney infection. 2 days later
I saw my dr and he gave me meds for the
infection. When they were done the
vomiting continued. I went back to my Dr
and had a gravol shot and he sent me to
see a specialist. That Dr did a
Gastroscopy and abdomanal ultrasound, all
it showed was my stomach looked irritated,
she sent up a byopsy and it all came back
clear and fine.
This has not gotten any better but it is
not worse either. I eat even small
portions and then after about 20 mins I
throw it up. I have tried babyfood,
Ensure, boost, Jello, and many other
things that should not be a problem but
they are.
How I get through each day is this. Ok yes
I am drinking coffee again in the morning
but after I throw that up I have a
teaspoon of peanutbutter and just lick it
off the spoon for about 15 mins I do the
same kind of thing with triple fruit jam,
1 teaspoon of yogurt and I sip on a 710ml
of gaterade.

look it seems to me you have an unsolved
problem here. I will tell you that my dad
was sick of the stomach for years and the
doctors didn't found anything wrong. They
did gastroscopies and nothing found. He
continued sick so one day he decided to go
to a family doctor. My mom told him if the
specialists can't do anything for you how
come a family doctor. But that doctor
discovered what he actually had. A
condition called tropical spru that
affected food absorption. He wasn't
absorbing food at all so that's why he
vomited and had diarreah so much. He got
treated with folic acid and vitamin b12
injections and got cured. To this day my
dad think that doctor is god hehe. He was
gonna die if nobody discovered what he
had. And i tell not even with gastroscopy
a gastronterologist found what he had. So
I would visit different doctors until i
get an answer.
