he has had 3 CT adn about that many endoscopy everything shows up fine... wonder if that thickening stuff is makin him spit it all back up... cause he is NOT naseuated or sick at his stomach or anything.... and he eats ALOT of cheeto puffs and those come up .......and mostly it is anything besides water that he drinks.. like grape juice, gaterade, crystal light, tea,...

It is hard to know what happened when they "rerouted his bowels".  I think there is something funny going on in his GI tract and he should get a CT scan and an endoscopy.

this is going to be a long post so bare with me....
its my dad, he will be 71 in june,  ok back b4 this past christmas he threw up BILE constantly around the clock, wasnt eating anything...every test imaginable was ran on him, they all came back good....
so this past feb they decided lets take out his gallbladder... so they did... very next day started throwing up bile again....
they send him home for 1 week and he was on clindmax( spelling) since he still is not eating or drinking anything he is even on magace adn marinol....
so the next week they went in and rerouted his bowels.... WOW. the bile instantly stopped..
well still not eating.... then in the past couple of weeks i guess the magace has finally kicked in after all these months... he is eating like a pig...
well he held everything down for like 5 days then he started throwing food and everythign up...  well he came home this past monday... he was holding down food...
now he is only throwing up his liquids...
he is taking 20 mg of reglan for times a day, he is on protonics, i dont know what all he is on....actually the dr just up his reglan yesterday it was 10mg  3 times a day.... hope this helps...
