Any ideas?

Hi. I would just like to know if anyone else out there has had anything remotely like this. I usually post on the heart problem board because I had bypass surgery last year, but I have been plaqued with these particular symptoms for about 2-3 years. I wake up in the morning nauseated. Sometimes around 4:00 a.m. I somtimes can drink milk and this will subside and I can go back to bed. Other times I vomit. I always vomit bile, never food. Sometimes before I vomit the bile I will spit blood. I have had three endoscopies and each time they find no ulcer, cancer, etc. They say the lining of my stomach itself is bleeding. Erosive gastritis. Also, they think the bile is from my gallbladder which spills into the stomach and irritates it, thus the nausea and bleeding. They won't remove my gallbladder because I have no stones, and they say I might still continue with the same problems anyway. I have taken Zantac and Protonix, both of which help but none eliminate the problem. I have found if I am very careful after 5:00 p.m. with what I eat, ie: no fatty meats, greasy foods, chips, etc. it is better. Also sometimes if I have a bowel movement I feel a fullness in my lower throat and I throw up. Lovely eh?! Anyone else have anything similar or am I just the weird one. I personally think stress makes it a lot worse. I have had anxiety/panic disorder since I was a teenager (now 46) maybe this brought this on, any ideas? Thanks

Re: Any ideas?

Hi Kshortie,

I have had nausea before and some throwing up although that has subsided since the onset of my IBS. I don't think your symptoms sound odd. I think that it is entirely probable. I know that if your gall bladder produces too much bile, it has the possibility of spilling into your stomach and making you nauseous. It will particularly strike usually about 20 minutes after you've eaten a fatty meal or a large meal.

I am suspicious that your heart problems are related to the same stressors that cause the other troubles you've described. In my case I suffer from IBS and what I believe may be heart troubles (not confirmable by doctors at this point though). I've been able to control a lot of the stress through visualisation techniques that I've invented for myself.

However, it all does sound very fishy. But I don't think that what you suffer from is not a possible combination of events - just a rare twist.

Sorry, I couldn't be of much help.

Cheers, Raju.

Re: Any ideas?

Thanks Raju for your reply. Yes I sincerely suspect that my heart problems are probably related to stress also. I have low cholesterol, triglyerides and blood pressure. I did smoke though (since quit) and am diabetic. I guess you just learn to adapt to the things you get. I've have learned that the milk does help alot--even though I don't have ulcers. I guess it neutralizes teh acid or something. And, yes I believe the excess acid is brought on by stress as well as fatty foods. Although sometimes if my life is pretty stable I can get away with eating a few fatty things, but never if I'm under stress. What gets me though is when you go to the doctor they look at you like somehow you are causing this. Believe me, this is not something any sane person would want to do every morning! And I don't care what I'm doing, I'm pretty sure I can't make myself spit up blood. I've found that once they run their tests, do their scopes and give you medication if that doesn't work, and they can't pin down exactly what it is they just kinda of "turf you" to the street and you are on your own and good luck to ya! Thanks for your input I appreciate it.
