unexplained vomiting

[hooch101]

My wife vomits every time she eats anything, or drinks anything.  Sometimes she can keep down a little bit of yogurt or a grilled cheese sandwich but that is about it.  She has had 3 EGDs, CAT scans, ultrasound, and a ton of lab work.  The only thing she has not done is a stomach emptying test but that is only because she can't keep the test food down for long enough to complete the test.  There has to be some way to find out what is wrong.  This has been going on for over two years and is getting worse.  I'm really worried about her and the doctors cant' seem to find anything.  Any information would help!

You need to follow up with the doctors so they know it hasn't cleared up on its own.  I would suspect food allergies or gallbladder problems or diabetic gastroparesis.

Hi,

I have trouble sometime keeping food down too.  But, my issue is neurologically related.  She being able to keep done dairy products could be related to ulcers in stomachs.  But, the fact that a doctor is unable to help means it could be something else or not.  Has your doctor tried nuclear medicine.   They can use radioactivity to spot abnormalities in the digestive tract.  But, your doc should know best.
