Do I Have Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome?

Are you or a loved one experiencing recurring bouts of nausea and vomiting? Are you struggling to figure out why you or a loved one feel good one day, and then have a period of time where food just doesn’t stay down? Gastroenterologist Dr. Matt Hoscheit of the Cleveland Clinic joins us on this episode to share his expertise on cyclic vomiting syndrome. He provides insight on possible causes; warning signs; and when patients should see their healthcare provider.

Can't thank you both enough for this podcast. I have a loved one who suffers from CVS and this is the first bit of information that gives us hope for treatment.

I had CVS for 17yrs and eight years before I was officially diagnosed. It just so happens that the worst of my abuse lasted 17 years as well. The episodes were debilitating from 16 to 33yrs. I had my daughter at 33 and never had an episode. I live like a sick person for five years after afterward, though always terrified that my next episode with around the corner. It never came.

I literally just got finished with a episode earlier. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.

There are no options. My daughter has had this for 7 years & nothing works! My daughter had a 2 month episode. Vomiting with just a sip of water! She is so mentally drained! Now she is just waiting for the next episode!

[nicolet]

It's awful to live with. Nothing you can do to control it.

I've lived with this for about 7 years. My teeth are destroyed. My body is destroyed. I'm skin and bones. It's miserable. When i told my doctor what i thought it was and she laughed at me. She didn't believe me. I never went back to a doctor.

[scottburke]

I just want to know if this happens to anyone else. I know when I’m about to have a episode because I’ll wake up super early in the morning, and my mouth keeps filling up with spit, to the point where I guess I swallow so much, it gets the vomiting going. Them for hours I throw up spit and stomach bile for hours, i usually pass out after a while and wake up fine.

We just need funding, funding, funding for research and medicine. We need breakthrough now. Enough of the suffering!

My husband had a stroke 5+ years ago and finds himself having this issue 1-2×s a month... could the stroke have something to do with it? Where can i find a neurogastrologist?
