Blimey, how long have been throwing up for now? Sounds very strange and I know you're a fellow fitness loon.
My immune system pretty much shut down for a year and it was a nightmare; I caught absolutely everything, some of it many times over.
I just wasn't resting enough and despite many blood tests, I worked it out myself. Different to yours but I know how frustrating it is when you can't train due to repeated/prolonged illness.
Hope it's sorted soon.
started on and off 3 weeks and 1 day ago now. now been every day for the last 9-10 days My immune system pretty much shut down for a year and it was a nightmare; I caught absolutely everything, some of it many times over.

really pissing me off now to say the least. Hopefully get the test results tomorrow according to nurse at hospital yesterday and fingers crossed they find something.It is indeed frustrating not being able to train. i did 1 short run last week, that was it
depressing or what!thanks Vlad appreciate the sentiments - hope your calf is improving too!
Good suggestion but I don't take any supplements or anything 
generally know my diet is pretty spot on to be honest. Loads of variety of fresh fruit and veg in there.
3 other blood tests back today all normal but waiting on stool sample result.
If that's clear then it's camera down the hatch

well, wasn't sick last night but i got up for a piss at 6am and got back into bed afterwards and very shortly had to get back out of bed again to be "sick" (almost all gas with a little bile as well) and went back to bed. wasn't feeling good so didn't get up until gone 8am (don't start work until this afternoon) and hey presto, i was sick again (again, large gas and a little more bile this time).
I'm wondering whether it's a gallbladder problem......? thoughts?

i've phoned the docs and requested a phone call back, i'm not happy it's taking this long. regards CO poisoning, i'm not the only one living here and, for other reasons, we did have another boiler fitted about 1 week ago so that's out.
i can't think of ANYTHING i did differently in those 2 days
royal PITA and am concerned now.

king gutted and honestly so pissed off. Had enough of this sIf there was a blockage I'd probably expect to be constipated or have some pain but it's just nausea.
I'm tempted to get an appointment with the docs to ask what else can be done in the mean time as I still feel pretty rough. Not sure which tests to suggest really...
Barium meal test is a good call, but also wouldn't mind an abdominal ultrasound exam. Or a head scan.... Hmmm

As some of you know I'm quite an active individual usually but done sod all last few weeks and not been eating my normal amount because of that but have still been eating a decent amount of bad food like cakes, biscuits etc etc yet I've actually lost a kilo. I'm already quite light (now just 8 stone 9lbs) admittedly only 5ft 6 but don't want to lose any more weight.

Have any of the blood tests revealed any inflammation?
Nope, ESR was normal. 2 weeks today until gastroscopy. And yes, I was sick again this morning If it was food intolerance why would it not happen after meals and only ever in the morning?? If it were, surely if I ate the food to which I was intolerant to at lunch I'd be sick later on early evening?
All done, decided on throat spray instead of sedation...
Pyloric sphincter isn't shutting allowing bile to come into stomach which is irritating it. That has led to bacterial infection too they think so have taken a biopsy.
At least it found the problem and will start medication soon but will Annoyingly have to wait 10 days.

Result. Glad it's nothing more serious. Long term prognosis?
Indeed, I was pretty chuffed with that outcome to be honest. Long term not entirely sure just yet. May need to take meds daily indefinitely, have to wait a couple of weeks to find out but I see todays news as good news.
Thanks chaps.

That must be pretty rare? Hope it's not long term but good they've finally nailed it.
I imagine you might have lost weight (if that's possible?!) with all that throwing up?
It's the same type of problem as gastro-oespophageal reflux except instead of the opening INTO the stomach it's the bone exiting it, which I think is rarer. Not weighed myself but probably have put on weight, I'm eating a good amount but not exercising and I only ever vomit bile on an empty stomach. I imagine you might have lost weight (if that's possible?!) with all that throwing up?
Cheers Vladimir.
