Why do I throw up?

[FerFerHess]

Every once and a while (maybe once a month, maybe more...) I'll need to throw up the meals I've eaten that day.  Its not a nauseous feeling, just something telling me I need to go throw up.  Its usually in the afternnon or evening, and it's like I didn't digest anything for the day.  ALL of the food I've eatin that day comes out the same way it went in.  It's almost never broken down and this is HOURS after I've eaten it.  I've had it happen up to 8 hours after I finished my last meal for the day.  After I throw up, I'm hungry for another meal.  When I eat this meal, everything stays down.

I'm completly clueless......????

Hi,
Intermittent obstruction of the outflow tract may cause symptoms similar to what you have mentioned.
An upper GI endoscopy would be helpful to look for lesions in the stomach that might be causing intermittent obstruction to the outflow tract.
