Keeping food down

I try to keep food in my tummy but it just does not want to stay down. I have lost a lot of weight due to it. I am not inducing the puking. I try really hard to not throw up. Is there a natural medicine that will stop me from throwing up?

Jaquta has already given you the best advice..I have nothing to  add..see your doctor because there are effective medications to stop vomiting.

I'm sure doctors are able to prescribe something that will help with the nausea and vomiting.
I think you should make an appointment to see your doctor.

Why natural?  It makes me think that maybe subconsciously this may be something you want or want to hide.  Why?
Surely, the logical thing to do would be to discuss this with your doctor.
Prolonged vomiting can be dangerous to our health.  I would strongly recommend you visit your doctor.

I think there is a difference between physical and psychological dependence.
Most doctors are pretty cautious about prescribing addictive medications.
I can't see someone taking medication long-term for vomiting.
You should discuss your concerns with your doctor.  

I don't think vomiting indefinitely is natural either.
I think that you should speak to your doctor.  Also, if you have an eating disorder or have symptoms of one I would strongly recommend you get treatment.  Either way, I still believe that you need to speak to a doctor.

I am looking for something natural because some medications are addictive and I don't want to become dependent on them. Thanks for your advice.
