Relative Hospitalized over a dozen times?

Question

I have a relative who has been hospitalized a dozen times during the past four months. Throwing up bile continuously. Numerous tests. No answers. They have lost 50 pounds and can't eat. The doctors keep wanting to do more tests, but they can't because of the throwing up. They have no gall bladder, stones, cancer, growths, ect... My relative is giving up. Anybody know of anyone who has gone through this?

Answer 1

This isn't good, obviously. Has your family insisted on a Specialist, or a change in Physcian/Hosptial? All of these symptoms indicate something is happening, as you well know. There are ways to do tests even though ur Relative is nauseous/vomitting. That sounds very remiss on their part. There are medications that can be given via IV to alleviate the symptoms in order to run the necessary tests. I would definetly go to another Physician. This could be a life or death matter. Good luck, take care, and Prayers go your way!

Answer 2

Bilious Attack, not sure if you have heard about this? As a kid I went through years of having these attacks, head down the toilet, nothing coming up except green, yellow bile and the perspiration untold. Most people eat three meals a day, breakfast, lunch, dinner. However, the size of the meal is important. I have to eat little and often, so instead of having the usual three big meals, I have six small meals and as long as I stick to that and avoid to much ACID like orange, lemon or citric acid, no more attacks.

I think they might be suffering with gastroentritis, which varies from bacterial, viral or acute. I had this as a child until age 11, was put on IV to re-hydrate and feed my system, the only foods allowed were broths, jello, easy to digest. Have a look at the link I posted above, it may help your relative find out exactly what they have, even though it is most common in children, adults can suffer from it as well. Good luck!

Crohns disease or a blockage maybe?
