Can GERD make you vomit everything daily?

Can GERD make you vomit everyday for 2 months and still continuing? Body rejecting food, and now fluids?? My daughter had Sudden onset of GERD  diagnosed in September 2009 after being admitted to hosiptal with 'asthma type symptoms - wheezing'. After remaining on steroids for 6 weeks to control it together with a comination of domperidone, lansoprazole and ranitidine. apart from feeling exhausted the heartburn was brought under control slightly and a beclomatasone preventitive inhaler had been introduced to help with the asthma induced symptoms. We were referred to another specialist to await the operation which tightens the valve to help stop GERD (still presently awaiting operation). At the end of october domperidone was substituted with metrocloprymide. In the 2nd week of December 2009 the vomitting started. At first it was after eating and vomiting would begin about half an hour after eating. Fatty food and everything associated with GERD was eliminated and fish and veg and soup became main staple diet. Vomitting continued 2 or 3 times a day and sometimes happened after drinking fluid.In Beginning of January a piece of meat was vomitted (meat hadn't been eaten since first week of Dec). By now soup was main staple of diet, literallly only 5 or 6 spoonfuls.Soup was the best option because it didn't make her choke when vomiting. Things were deteriorating and her medication now included Cyclizine to try and stop her vomiting. She was also taking Ranitidine and magnesium tablets. Over the weeks even this became a problem and a second piece of meat appeared 2 weeks ago. An endoscopy on 24th Jan showed no problems apart from 'excessive acid'. The cyclizine has now been stopped due to adverse side effects and the fact its not stopped her vomiting.  My daughter is now surviving on only nutritional supplements and continues to vomit, the last few days has seen her bring fluids back aswell. 4 days ago she was prescribed Colyestyramine to help bind the bile and stop her vomiting. Her condition is continuing to deteriorate and yesterday she vomitted 7 times, keeping nothing down. Sometimes a slight movement can make the bile/vomit just literally fall out of her mouth. We are so worried about the situation. She has lost about 6kg in one month which is not a lot considering her food intake is next to nothing. IS VOMITTING EVERY DAY, CONSISTENTLY FOR 2 MONTHS and continuing A SYMPTOM OF GERD ???? OR COULD THERE BE AN UNDERLYING SYMPTOM.  DOES ANYBODY ELSE SUFFER FROM THIS? We are desparate for this to stop.

Hi. I'm curious to know how you're daughter is doing? Your daughters sypmtoms sound so much like my mother's. Only they checked her gall bladder and thought they saw a sludge in the ultrasound but then confirmed it's nothing in a blood test. However she is still vomiting and it's driving us crazy that nothing seems to be helping. I wonder if she should do the gall bladder test again. My mom has lost so much weight and has been taking patoprazol but nothing seems to be helping. I curious to know if your daughter is alright and is now feeling better...where the doctors able to help her? I sure hope so...

Hi Selma

Thanks very much for the message. Sorry your dad had to go through a journey before a got a result. My daughters gall bladder has not been checked but she is being admitted to hospital for monitoring this weekend. I will raise both issues with them while we're there.

Many thanks, best wishes

Hi...I am so sorry ur DD is going thru this and as a mom it is hard to watch our children when they hurt.
May I ask, was her Gall Bladder checked?....if so ask it be done again...my dad went to the ER several times over the period of 3 months and said I think this is my Gall Bladder they said it did not show on the tests...finally after 3 months of going to the ER they concurred and took out his GB ...he also had H.pylori as a result and once that was addressed he felt so much better.

I pray this  is resolved soon for u and ur DD.
