I havent had a flare up for a while, but for over a year now I have been throwing up nearly everything I eat. This comes and goes, and sometimes only happens with certain foods. But for the past few months I can barely keep anything down. As soon as I eat my mouth begins to water and I throw up. I am not moving my bowels regulaly either. Everytime I check the internet there isnt much about the symptoms I have.

I would just like to know if there are many people suffering the same way that I do. And if so how are you managing it. thanks

Have you been to the dr. lately? You need to be seen. This is not a good thing to be dealing with. You will only get weaker. I hope you can find out what is wrong. Take care.

Hi, I only do that when I am going to have a flare-up, I have thrown up as much as 30 times a day, then its hospital time for me, you need to call your doctor, it could be acid reflux, take care. Marcie

Oh gosh, how frustrating! are you able to do liquids? I'd prob try and do a liquid type thing for a few days, broths, pureed soups etc... like marcie said though might be acid reflux.... good luck hope you get to feeling better...

When I was about 3 years into my Crohn's I had this same thing happen to me. I threw up everything. This went on for 2 years! The doctor's were dumbfounded, but that didn't help my weight loss and the horror of throwing up everything.

One time, I ate a Wendy's hamburger and threw it up for 3 days. I now control the pain with pain pills and compazine. You sound like you have a block. When my intestines were severly inflammed, this was the result. PLEASE go see your doctor, an upper GI with a small bowel follow through would give you your answer.

Good luck to you, I feel for you.

If you can't hold anything down that means your intestines are inflammed ( that is a symptom)

I too experience vomiting with Crohn's just like you describe -- my mouth waters and then I vomit. Fortunately, this only happens to me once every week or so. My gastro says it's just part of my Crohn's symptoms. My mother had Crohn's and did not vomit. My sister has Crohn's and does not vomit. It sounds like your vomitting is severe. I too recommend an upper GI to make certain you do not have an obstruction. Good luck!

I spent a week in the hospital the first of Oct. Like you, I was throwing up and could not go to the bathroom.
My bowels were shut down and the doctors considered surgery.
It's my understanding with crohn's your intestines can narrow and become blocked.
When you are in a bad flare you become inflamed and your guts can stop working.
You must see your doctor!
I wish you well

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
