It all depends on why you are throwing up. If its because of a nasty stomach ailment, you have my deepest sympathy.
If its the harbinger of more royal condiments, you have my interest.

This might not be the place to admit having this condition, but I just couldnt resist.
Warning!!!! If you get nauseous very easily I would not read further, or if you are a sympathetic vomiter.
Some of us (me in particular) have a very weak valve where our stomach meets our asophagus.
Because of this every time I eat, unless I am conciously trying to stop it, I throw up a good number of times after finishing a meal. If I do not keep my mouth closed and swallow it again I would just starve to death, its like my body WANTS me to be a bulimic.
Usually it stops before it gets REALLY acidic, but there are a few occasions where it does not and that hurts BADLY. I can remember as a little kid running into a restroom so as to find a towel to soak the stomach acid off my tongue.
I don't even realize I am doing it sometimes until somebody nearby says, "Did somebody throw up?" The stigma of it all can be horrible, as I write this I just threw up my food again. Need I go on? Why not? I went in to a doctor to see if he could fix my condition. They put me out and put a scope down my asophagus. The doctor said that I was so scarred that by all rights I should be in constant pain, and that my body must have reached a point where it just started ignoring the pain signals that part of my throat is sending. They could operate to fix it, but it would only last for about 6 years whereupon I would have to have surgery again and then they have to work with an altered asophagus (they would have to fashion a sort of temporary valve).
So I am basically faced with a lifetime of eating my food which tastes delicious, but then finding out what it ALL tastes like meshed together. People ask me "how can you drink water before you are done chewing you food?!" Well um...you would be used to what that tastes like if you were me.
Have I sufficiently one upped you enough?
Though to be honest I know that being sick and throwing up is different as you have waves of nausea and your stomach clenches VERY tightly together. Dispite this condition I find vommiting to be very relieving as it means the food that was making me feel sick has been ejected and I am going to feel better.
Now whenever you feel sick and throw up just think, "I know what its like for BlackBlade everyday!"
In all seriousness I hope you feel better soon!

Been there, pix. That was a lot like my tough days on chemo. The worst was the day I went into anphylactic shock from one of the chemo drugs. I was dizzy and having trouble breathing and was forced to lie back in a reclined position, and then they gave me some steroid that made me violently ill. Ever thrown up, over and over again when you could barely move any air at all in your lungs? It's not fun.
Today, I had a CT with contrast and gagged several times on that nasty stuff they make you drink. And they make you drink 16 ounces of it! It's so hard to get all that down, and you have to fast before you come, so I was already queasy because I'd had nothing to eat or drink. Ick. Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :

I don't think what I do has any aspect of burping within it. Its about 1/2 as powerful as actual vomiting.

Posted by Tatiana (Member # 6776) on :
<prayers for ketchupqueen>
There is a technique to throwing up, as there is to most things. Keep your nose elevated above your mouth at all times, when vomiting. Don't lean so far over that your nose gets lower, as stuff will go up your nose, and that is extremely unpleasant. Drink coca-cola in large quantities. Sugar molecules reverse the process whereby the blood is dumping fluids into the g.i. tract to flush it out. Sugar will settle your system down, and the fluids are good for rehydrating you. And in the worst case, it dilutes the acid and sweetens the "effluent" so that it's less unpleasant on the way up. It also is better to have liquid in there than to do the dry heave thing. It flushes your system better, which is the purpose your body has in vomiting.
Gatorade is probably good, too, but I think coke is better.
Good luck and I hope you feel better. <prays for kq, BB, MPH, and everyone on the thread who is sick>

Incidentally my wife was completely unaware of my condition until I explained it to her. We were walking down the street and she said, "Where did you get whatever you are eating?" My wife contrary to me can only remember 2 times in her life where she has thrown up.
Hopefully our kids down the road will get her digestive system.

Caffeine-free coke is hard to find around here (you can find caffeine-free diet coke easily, but then that doesn't have the sugar.) Ginger ale is never a favorite drink of mine, and often makes me worse when I'm throwing up. Ginger beer (made with large amounts of real ginger) can sometimes help-- but only if it's a brand without too much citrus, which just makes me worse.

Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :
Speaking of throwing up...I hadn't been home from my CT scan five minutes before the nurse called from the school to come pick up Emily - she had thrown up twice. She'd been treated for reflux, and had taken prescription Prilosec for a while, but the doctor was hoping she would be able to get by after a month or so. Doesn't look like it. Poor kid is probably going to have to keep taking Prilosec every day, at least for the forseeable future.
The good news is that when she takes the pill in the morning, she doesn't throw up all day. But every now and then, without it, she'll throw up about 20 minutes after she eats. Very frustrating for her, she hates having to take pills and hates throwing up. Her activities don't help either - she's my gymnast - and reflux sufferers probably shouldn't spend so much time upside down.

Posted by dantesparadigm (Member # 8756) on :
The only time I ever throw up is when I get really bad migraine headaches, which used to happen quite frequently. I would get them so badly when I was a kid that I would find the deepest, darkest part of the house and hide there in the fetal position. I usually get headaches around 2pm and it keeps me up (but functionally crippled) until around midnight, when I throw up. The odd thing is as soon as I throw up I feel just fine.
Go figure.

ketchupqueen, I hope you continue to get better. That sounds like an awful experience.
BlackBlade, if you are already showing such physical changes on scope, you really need to be on effective treatment for this, be it medical or surgical. Do you remember a discussion of "Barrett's esophagus" or the likelihood of developing precancerous lesions? Please discuss this with your regular physician again, if you are not continuing to be treated for and effectively monitored (on an ongoing, scheduled basis) regarding this condition.
I'll say it once more: Please discuss this with your regular physician again, if you are not continuing to be treated for and effectively monitored (on an ongoing, scheduled basis) regarding this condition.

My physician said he was hesitant to do surgery, so he prescribed some medication to see if it helped, it helped just alittle, he told me that I should watch my diet as a way to deal with it. I have found that certain foods definately effect me more than others and I try to act accordingly.
Posted by ssasse (Member # 9516) on :
Hmmm. The recommendations as you relate them do not reassure me that all is being well taken care of.
Perhaps this information would be good for you to read and take in to discuss with your physician:
Since you have ongoing symptoms and report them to be of such severity, I do not think a single endoscopic exam in the past is enough to screen you for development of this condition over a lifetime. What may not have been there then may still develop later, especially since your problems are not being effectively controlled by medication and diet.
I very much hope you have another conversation with your healthcare professional in the near future, even if it is just a phone call to the physician's nurse in order to clarify whether or not there are any plans for you to be rescoped sometime in the future, and if so, when.

Edited to add: Perhaps I was confused. Are you continuing to take medication regularly (and as prescribed) for this problem, or are you no longer taking medication regularly for this?

I do not take medication anymore as I would be unable to afford it on a regular basis (its about $30 a month) I mostly focus on diet, and eating smaller portions as it makes it easier for me to deal with it.

I understand how difficult it is to access healthcare without sufficient support. (In my mind, this is a ghastly characteristic of the US system, actually.)
However, if you are not taking the medication, then I strongly strongly urge you to reconsult your regular physician about this. If you are not on medication, then (in my mind*) the need for more routine scope screenings (which might well be covered -- bizarrely -- by your insurance, even if the medication is not covered without a low enough copay for you) is markedly increased.
Perhaps your physician is not aware that your symptoms are so bad and you are unable to afford the medication. Perhaps he or she can help you get medications as free samples or at a discount through that pharmaceutical company. Such programs do exist, and if your physician is not familiar with the ropes, I can dig up some info.
*I am a physician, although not a gastroenterologist. Nonetheless, my training emphasized that untreated reflux was imperative to be followed closely. I would feel remiss if I did not push you on this point, even though you are a big boy and can make your own decisions.

Gosh...reading this thread brings back memories. My mother had systemic scleroderma; the last year was really difficult. She vomited after every meal and I spent a good deal of time watching, cleaning up the vomit and fearing the worst. The last time I ever saw my mother was right after she threw up and I remember how scared and frightened I was...I knew the end was near, even though this was before anyone prepared children for the eventual death of a parent. It was truly terrible...suffice to say, I can't vomit myself, and I can't watch a friend or family membert get sick without a certain degree of panic.I frankly have no idea what I would do if I had to go through the ordeal Belle describes. One does, of course...there's no choice outside a premature death, but my deepest compassion and sympathy go out to everyone who becomes violently ill.
