Common Questions and Answers about Vomiting and obstruction

vomiting

Avatar f tn I feel as if I have another bowel obstruction and have been fairly sick lately. My gastro will only order a KUB Xray. This Xray has never shown my obstructions in the past. For the past week, I haven't passed any stool. I've gotten sick every time I eat as well, but not to the point of vomiting. Yesterday my skin was very flush and I didn't feel well at all. The gastro ordered another KUB stat, which the radiologist said read as normal.
Avatar n tn We need more info. Were you prepping for a procedure to be done? If so, you weren't given the correct prep. If they suspect a bowel obstruction, maybe the stool cannot get past the blockage, but then you'd be vomiting and in extreme pain. Why are to trying to cleanse your system, and what is wrong?
Avatar f tn t have any other symptoms besides occasional headaches in the front and some dizziness with the vomiting. He has been sick with the vomiting for 2 yrs. and have been to so many specialists who can't find the cause. He had an MRI 2 yrs. ago when the vomiting started, and we just found out that the Chiari was 2-3mm back then. The Neurologist doesn't think the vomiting is related and we are seeing the Neurosurgeon in a few days....Any info about Chiari and vomiting would be helpful...
Avatar m tn If there is obstruction, nasogastric tube is placed to help relieve abdominal distention and vomiting. Surgery may be needed to relieve the obstruction if the tube does not relieve the symptoms, or if there are signs of tissue death. Complications such as electrolyte imbalances, infection, perforation and tissue death should be avoided especially with her medical history.

Avatar m tn I have a colonoscopy scheduled for 4/18 because of inconsistent bowel movements. I have been having back pains but it is due to a strain pair of muscles in my upper buttocks. My orthopedic doctor seems to think that the changes in bowel movements (at times regular and at times flat, and at times small) are due to the strain muscle in my upper buttocks and lower back. My gastro wants to do a colonoscopy to make sure it is not an obstruction and to diagnoe IBS.
Avatar n tn She has come into hospital with nausea and vomiting over last 48 hrs. She has not passed flatus or had a bowel action for 3 days and you suspect she may have a bowel obstruction. The Intern in emergency wants to immediately insert a nasogastric tube but your arrival halts this procedure doe the interim. MY QUESTIONS ARE: 1. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of nasogastric tube insertion in the palliative setting? 2. How would you assess her nausea and vomiting? 3.
Avatar f tn I am not a vet and have no veterinary training. I am just trying to support and help on this site, and I also have no experience of this type of condition.
1897635 tn?1321402214 Fecal breath odor typically accompanies fecal vomiting associated with a long-standing intestinal obstruction or gastrojejunocolic fistula. It represents an important late diagnostic clue to a potentially life-threatening GI disorder because complete obstruction of any part of the bowel, if untreated, can cause death within hours from vascular collapse and shock.
Avatar m tn A major concern with loss of appetite and vomiting would be bloat or obstruction. Obstruction can happen even with food, if she has a history of digestive problems. You didn't mention if she's having normal bowel movements.
Avatar m tn Ok fast forward to 1 year old and again had an obstruction that surgeons said would clear up on its own. Oct of 2011 he seemed like he had a stomach bug vomit and diarrhea, a week latter he vomited in his sleep, few days latter temp for no reason, week latter again he vomited in the morning. Month of Dec ran a temp and complain of stomach hurting they said he was constipated and full of gas so they could not see anything.
Avatar m tn My son and I have been to specialists and got nose swabs blood work and chest x-rays done. Nothing has been suggested. We have taken meds and puffers nothing is working. I have been coughing then leads to vomiting either flem or froth, and gasping for a minute or so out load to replace hair in my lungs.It is the most horrible thing... I get headaches and feel very tired. But told that we are to just relax and takes time :( Well to take time it's been over a month that we have been so sick!!!
Avatar m tn She met with her Gyn-Onc surgeon today to go over the results and he said that her vomiting and cramping is due to changes in her body due to extensive surgery. He said that since her CA is a good indicator for her he is sure that this abdomen pain and vomiting is not due to cancer. He also called in another Gyn-Onc surgeon who assisted him during surgery to go over the results. Both of them reviewed everything and also physically examined her to rule out any recurrence.
Avatar n tn My husband has been experiencing nausea and vomiting (more so nausea) now for over 4 years. He was told he had some stomach erosion and was placed on protonix, with no results. He was told he had over 30 allergies to food and I was wondering should my he be seing an Allergy MD. Diagnosed with - GERD, IBS - but the purple pill or zelnorm treated the problem.
114870 tn?1210298346 She has no bowel obstruction, just seedings around the peritoneum...could that cause the severe pain and vomiting. We are lost here. They are looking at us like we are crazy at the ER and the hospital. Tomorrow we are meeting with a new GI doctor that hopefully will look into this seriously rather then passing it off on cancer. Can a person with ovca has this type of pain (where the gallbladder was) and vomit with no actual signs on scans meaning no obstructions no cancer in organs?
Avatar n tn In January 2009 I developed severe abdominal cramping and bloating/distention. The cramping soon led to violent vomiting which sent me to the hospital ER. I was told I have probably had bowel obstruction. I was admitted to the hospital for 5 days while numerous X-ray's were taken of my abdomen. Before the doctors could find the blockage it had "corrected itself" according to the doctors. I was then sent home.
63984 tn?1385437939 About a year ago, I had a double bowel obstruction, and I came rather close to experiencing the other side of life. During this experience, I vomited very violently. I recovered, but noticed my about six month ago my voice was changing, becoming very rough, and experienced indigestion. A visit to an ENT doctor confirmed my vocal chords were burned. I also noticed that my teeth were darkening, and a visit to the dentist confirmed acid was distroying my my tooth enamel.
Avatar f tn You can vomit a yellow watery substance for many reasons. My mom had a bowel obstruction about 3 years ago and was vomiting a yellow watery substance but I don't remember if she had any burning in her stomach or not. Again tho if the problem persists definitely see a doctor asap. If it goes away it was probably a mile case of the 24 hour stomach flu.
Avatar m tn She is probably fine but how long has it been since she pooped? How long has she been vomiting? She could have a virus, she could be severely constipated or it could be as serious as a bowel obstruction, that's why she needs to be seen right away.
Avatar f tn My mother had an obstruction that turned into a full on emergency and within a short time she went from normal to looking 9 months pregnant. That is a 911 emergency so please get immediate care if you are nauseated or vomiting with this. Here's an article to help combat it. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/11-proven-ways-to-reduce-bloating Are you feeling any better yet? Is this gone?
Avatar m tn As you may know, not all stones will break with litho, so some they have to go after other ways, and it can be tough to get them. But it is important you not have obstruction, and I think vomiting indicates possible obstruction. The urologist I worked for preferred to do IVPs to CT scans, by the way. Not only do they cost less, but they deliver less radiation.
Avatar f tn So each time the urine tries to pass through the obstruction it causes severe pain. It can be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, sweating and sometimes blood in the urine. Vomiting does not indicate that the stone is passing through, usually there is some bleeding when the stone comes out and you can visualize the stone. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn My father had a bowel resection about 10 days ago because due to a tumour in his colon. He just started vomiting bile and I was just wondering if this could be related to the surgery? or the cancer? or a possible complication of the surgery?
Avatar f tn i took my 8 week old puppy to the vet because he started having dirreah and vomiting so the vet hospital took x-ray's and said he look to have swallowed something so they suggested surgery now because they seen something and it had to come out unless he would die ok i couldn't afford it but i had to make a way to have it done so they did it and found nothing they cut him for nothing without getting advise from another doc or whomever they could have done a ultrasound or something other t
Avatar n tn Within 3 months I was rushed to the ER and was found to have a complete bowel obstruction. I returned home 1 week ago and within days I became constipated,severe abdominal pain nausea & vomiting. I used ducolax suppositories and had only sips of ginger ale for 5days. On the 6th day my bowels finally opened but have been diarrhea.I am still suffering in pain, nauseated and still vomiting(but not as severe as I was prior to ER visit,at that time I was vomiting green bile non stop).
Avatar f tn Hi there, bonnetgirl The Doctors can not discharge him before they know what is the cause of the vomiting and inability to keep food down! Heart-surgery takes its toll and to add a serious problem like what he had with his bowel is very hard and a shock to the body and he now needs food to get his strenght back! Have they done an upper Endoscopy?
