Throwing up for no reason



Recommended Posts

Has anyone had an issue with throwing up yellow liquid stuff for no reason? I kept waking up during the night not feeling good, kinda sick/queasy feeling in my stomach. I normally keep Water beside my bed at night to drink. After waking up the 3rd time I went to the bathroom and then had to grab a trash can because I felt it coming up. Now I had a flu shot the other day, but I don't think that is the cause.

Any thoughts???

The yellow stuff is just normal bile/stomach acid kinda stuff. You may just have a stomach virus, or reaction to the shot (it does happen).. or it may be that you are making too much acid and need to take something for it. Are you currently taking acid medicine?

You can go to the drug store and pick up Pepcid Complete. It's chewable, and just chew one up at bedtime. Try and eat your last meal a couple hours before bed so you aren't disturbing the digestion process (especially anything with Protein. You need your acid to digest protein). When your doctor's office is open, ask them whether you should switch to a different kind.

There are basically 2 different types of acid medicines: H2 blockers, and PPIs. H2 blockers are a bit less effective, but are considered safer (the pepcid I recommended). PPIs are more powerful. I figure just get you started on the simpler one.

Yellow stuff sound like bile. Maybe you need to get a script for lansoprazole.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
