Common Questions and Answers about Vomiting stomach acid

Avatar f tn However, I will try to explain about stomach acid. Stomach acid, known as gastric acid or gastric juice is concentrated hydrochloric acid and can destroy metal in a few minutes if it were collected from the stomach. The reason stomach acid does not destroy your stomach is because your stomach is lined with mucus membranes. Stomach acid is not like the advertisements that show the acid in a container and a TUMS is added to the container and the acid is neutralized.
494192 tn?1209578969 What is this, could it be this so called acid reflux, what is causing this so much large volume of acid liquid in my stomach, have started to lose some weight and I am thinking that this could be being caused by this large amount of acid in my stomach so that the food is getting disolved by the acid so quickly that it is not there to be used by my body. Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn Hope it is cut I had the same issue with my first pregnancy. I think it was because I was vomiting on an empty stomach, so it was mostly stomach acid coming up.
Avatar n tn I have some type of stomach problem, while laying down at night my stomach fills with acid and in am I vomiting some bad yellow vomit. What would cause this, my diet is ok and I barely eat three small meals a day. My doctor told me to take prylosect for 14 days, which caused me to have diarrea, when I stopped the vomiting continued. I am 43 and made 3 trips to general doctors in 2 months. Could it be more than acid reflux.?
Avatar n tn She may have a bug in her gastrointestinal stomach, because acid blockers inhibit the protective mechanism in the stomach, leaving it open to different pathogens. Reflux meds do not correct the problem but make it worse. The problem is poor digestion...he needs MORE acid, NOT less!
Avatar f tn 24 hours after going to the loo, I vomit pretty badly sometimes its stomach acid, sometiimes its bile. What can I do, the vomiting is making me feel really bad and I finding it harder and harder to recover from.

1510910 tn?1290212649 Hello, I am a 19 year old male with extreme stomach pains,nauasea and vomiting. It has been going on for a week now and I don't know what to do. I've been to the ER twice this week and they said its acid reflux disease but I don't feel burning in my throat. My primary doctor said the same thing. But, I have very bad stomach pains, nausea and vomiting and burping.
Avatar f tn Gender, it just when you have nothing on your stomach and you throw up it just brings up your stomach acid.
Avatar f tn I use to dry heave a lot due to the fact that in the mornings I wouldn't have anything in my stomach. And whatever did come up.was just stomach acid and it's just like what you described so I'm sure that's what you're experiencing. Try to drink lots of water when you wake up bc it's a lot easier to throw up water than just that stomach acid.
Avatar f tn I am 12 weeks and i get the same thing..it really ***** but i find that if i drink as much water as i can before i throw up even if it means taking as big if drink as i can in between dry heaves it makes it so the tummy acid doesnt taste as bad if any comes up at all cause if u drink enough it usually is just water coming up.
Avatar n tn It is very painful because the vomit is usually dry and I have to cough it out unless it is bile. My stomach will feel like it is on fire occasionally also. Sometimes there is bright red steaks but I am not sure if it is blood or not. It has gotten increasingly worse and I can't take off work from it anymore. Latly I feel as if I have been urinating very frequently and sometimes become very dizzy. Last nite I fainted. I started to feel very dizzy and about 30 seconds later I hit the ground.
Avatar f tn If it burned coming up could have been stomach acid. Sometimes if blood and acid mix it can turn black. I would maybe bring it up to your doc at your next appointment. It could also just be one of those one time things that have no explanation. I wouldn't worry to much.
Avatar f tn It sounds like you may be producing acid and since your stomach is empty, you dry heave. Maybe you need meds for acid reflux or GERD.
Avatar f tn After vomiting I still feel nausea and burping. Both of them only after induced vomiting. This has taken a toll now. I usually sleep 8 hours a day. I don't drink or smoke. Yes I do eat alot of spicy food and citrus also adds in my diet. But I have stopped such food intakes for the past three weeks. But the problem has grown. What should I do now?
Avatar f tn Could be acid reflux too. I don't really get heart burn but the acid reflux makes me vomit, especially on an empty stomach.
Avatar n tn Welcome to the gastroenterology community! I would say you don't have IBS (that is mostly intestines not stomach) or acid reflux (that would be happening all the time). I would say that because it is happening only three to four times a year it is just related to having a sensitive stomach to certain foods. I would just avoid those foods or deal with the symptoms. There isn't really any treatment for this.
Avatar f tn Hi every since i was around 8weeks pregnant i feel like there's a lump in my throat. It started after vomiting so much and has been there ever since. Im 27wks now and it's still there. Im going to mention it to my doctor next week. Any one else experiencing this?
Avatar f tn I'm on day 10 of withdrawling off percocet and I can't stop filling up with this uncomfortable stomach acid... Green and yellow. I've tried Prilosec,tums, and drinking tons of water. What should I do? Also what food do you suggest I try eating?
Avatar f tn I had a drs appt today and mentioned this and he didn't seem too concerned. I've been getting sick almost every time I eat lately. I did have hyperemesis for the first half of my pregnancy and now it seems to be returning or something. I know I dont have food poisoning. It feels like my acid reflux and heartburn have gotten worse and there's just no room for food so my body rejects what doesn't fit. Anyone else experiencing this? It seems to wake me up at night mostly.
973741 tn?1342342773 The reason acid comes up is because there is a thought that vomiting during intense exercise is the stomach being flooded with acid to empty it. Like the body goes into panic mode and wants to shut down digestion to focus on other things and then acid comes into play. A lot of athletes take things like Tagamet prior to a race.
Avatar f tn He has had and endoscopy that showed scaring in his stomach and stomach emptying scan that was fine. My question is, what else can he take or tests can be run to help him? He is 9 yrs old and has been throwing up since he was born and it is now starting to prevent him from having a happy active lifesstyle, he doesn't want to do things because he is afraid he will be sick. He is a very picky eater and grazes most of the day. Any help you can offer would be wonderful.
Avatar m tn Within an hour of vomiting I was on the floor with excrusiating pain in my stomach and still vomiting although it was way more extreme. So extreme that I broke a blood vessel in my eye. This was 3 months ago. Since then I have had constant pain in my stomach and asophagus. I have been to the emergency room 3 times. Prescribed Prevacid, Nexium, and something for nausea as the doc thought it was GERD or severe acid reflux.. Nothing helps. I had a blood test for H.Pylori and it came back negative.
Avatar m tn my 18 year old son is currently hospitalized for the second time in 6 months for stomach problems. He has vomiting, which is acid, and or foam, pain in the upper left side of his belly. Said its a gnawing, burning feeling, pushing on it makes him feel like throwing up. He just had a scope procedure done and they found 5 or 6 red, raw areas of his stomach. No ulcers though. They are giving him protonix, omeprazole, carafat, and phenegran.
Avatar f tn m getting severe acid in my chest and throat a few days before I get the whole stomach attack. I vomit a lot of thick mucus also and sometimes it comes up with I'm trying to burp and gets stuck. Beneath the mucus vomit is this nasty egg smelling acid that burns the crap out of throat and nose. The vomiting and diarrhea last for at least an entire day. Throwing up doesn't help the nausea feeling. I'm scared now. Going to my doctor this morning.
Avatar f tn you may also drool excessively(unable to swallow your own spit anyway, all of the acid from the vomiting will ause severe acid reflux. I lost my teeth by the time I was 25 due to all of the acid eroding the enamel on my teeth. I have also been diagnosed w/ IBS-C and gastroparesis, but i have just had to try to ID my triggers. It cqan be set off by such things as positive stress(holidays/events) or negative stress. Too little slep, overdoing yourself...fatty food..
Avatar n tn After a bowel movement I noticed a strong pain in my stomach which brought on the vomiting. The pain would not stop until everything in my stomach was out, food or bile. The bowel movement were either semi-formed or soft. Those symptoms occurred only in the mornings within 10-20 minutes of me waking up. Until a week ago when I became nauseous out of the blue in the evening time, which has now become a steady happening. Bowel movements do not always precede the evening sickness however.
