Hi Robin,
If i were in your shoes, i would go directly to the emergency.
That is not normal to vomit all the time. How are your stools?
If you don't keep any solid, you could become dehydrated. At least
in the hospital, they could put you on solution, i don't know
if it's the right word in english, i mean liquids. Are you allowed
to have a copy of all the medical tests you have passed? If so, bring
them with you at the hospital and tell them your doctor said it could
be adhesions. Maybe, they could do a laparoscopy. I do partial
intestinal
blocking, am constipated, have nausea, have pain around the gallbladder
or liver, am very dizzy at that time but i don't vomit even if i come
close to it. My surgeon won't operate unless i do a complete blocking,
which means, really bad bad pain and vomit my stools. That's why i was
asking about the stools.
Meanwhile, don't eat anything fatty. Eat fruits, lettuce, a small
portion
of meat with vegetables and when you feel your stomach can't take
anything
more, stop eating. Take a cup of hot water with lemon after your meal,
it can help. My prayers are with you Robin in chosing to do the right
thing.
