Constant Nausea and Vomiting for 2 years now. Doctors are no help.

Has anyone ever mentioned gastroparesis as a possibile cause of your symptoms?  I've had problems with nausea and vomiting for almost 8 years and despite numerous visits to my GP and consultant don't feel like the cause has ever been properly diagnosed.  I came across gastroparesis when Googling (for the upteenth time) 'chronic nausea' and the symptoms certainly seem to match mine.  You say that you are having a gastric emptying test soon and that should determine if the cause is gastroparesis.  After hassling my consultant a bit I've finally got one in a few weeks.

I've suffered with these problems for a long time.  Symptoms seem to come and go in waves although I never feel really 'well'.  When I have a bad bout which lasts for several months it has, in the past, caused me to have spells of depression and anxiety despite having no previous history of either.  It's just very, very hard to cope with.

I recently went to my GP with my self diagnosis and was prescribed with domperidone (I basically had to ask for it) and so far that seems to be helping me quite a bit and so might be worth you trying.

Hope you get this sorted out soon, I know how horrible and debilitating it can be to just feel sick all of the time.

Had the same issues for 7 yrs.i had done 3 endoscopic.brain scan, Abdomen scan. Colonscopy.emptying test twice. H.palouri and barium test. Chest scan and every one of them came back good.i don't know what else to do. My life is a mess. To make the situation worse my doctor think i maybe crazy. So he trying to send me to psychology. 5 GI doctors so far. No medications seems to work for me. Constant vomiting after eating any food. A very miserable life right now.

I cannot remember who and where in this forum I read about a similar story. 

The 'ultrasound' you refer to is a transabdominal one, right?

For that person, CT, transabdominal (via skin) ultrasound, HIDA were normal regarding bile ducts/gallbladder,

BUT only an internal dye test diagnosed his bile duct problems (some stones cannot be seen).

Tests were called ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography) 

and EU (endoscopic-from inside- ultrasound) and from there finally was treated successfully.

Those tests are bit invasive since endoscope is needed.

Hi, I know what u r going through my daughter is 24 and she is going through the same thing for the past 2 1/2 years we don't know what to do either. She lost 40 pounds and still losing the doctor told her when she gets to 104 that's when they will put her in the hospital. She also can't work cause she is always in pain and vomiting. And know one knows what's wrong with her.

Hello Andrew!

First let me say I can very well relate to your issues! 22 months of vomiting every single day, right here. In fact, after reading your post, I had to check it again to make sure I didn't write it and forgot about it. Regardless, my case is slightly different in that my gallbladder was removed in 2010.

My symptoms came on suddenly January 18, 2015. I now hurl at least once per day. I am going on 22 months of vomiting. I have seen several doctors, but as I am sure you know from experience, they get expensive after some time. I have no insurance so I have been referred to the top charity hospital in my state. They have yet to get me in for an appointment. If/when they get me in, I hope they will figure out what is going on, but I am not optimistic. Many blood tests, several H-pylori tests, several other screens and MRIs and CT Scans reveal...absolutely nothing.

I have been unable to work as nausea/vomiting and severe pain keep me from talking to anyone (even my family) on the phone for too long. I have been in the IT field for years and it sucks not being able to work - even from home. But regardless, I did not see where you had a confirmed diagnosis. Did you ever get one? I'd love to be able to go to my nex appointment with something--anything!

Phenergan is the medicine they've prescribed consistently after I built up an immunity to Zofran last year. Of course, Phenergan no longer helps either since I'm up to 50-100mg/day with no change. Also, any food (and even water or nothing at all) comes right back up. I've tried cutting down to a vegan diet or even just the common BRAT diet. Nothing helps. I'm also allergic to so many things I am unable to take most any antibiotic and I cannot eat Fish of any kind or Mushrooms! It has become so bad, I don't want to eat, but the catch 22 is I am also hypoglycemic, so if I do not eat or drink something with sugar all day (which I did twice in the last month because eating food and vomiting did not appeal to me) I start shaking and pass out! After eating to bring my sugar level up those two days, I vomited almost immediately. They've even tested me for diabetes which is where gastroperesis usually originates, and I am not diabetic.

Oh, and since I am a female, last year between January and July I was at the ER 28 times and that amounted to 28 pregnancy tests, even though I told them about the tubal ligation I had several years ago. I have three teenagers and I know where babies come from and I am not pregnant. 😐 I don't know what it is about healthcare professionals who do not LISTEN to their patients. I get that people lie for various reasons, but if someone is in this much pain and they are suffering, unless you hear they are also a masochist, it is a safe bet they are not lying!

My life has changed drastically and there is no end in sight. So let's hope you have better luck!

Bottom line: I hope you found out the cause and I'd love to hear about it.
