My poor brother

Well it seems there is something wrong with my brother..... well there are a lot of things wrong with him ;) but this is something potentially serious.

Apparently he has been throwing up for months now. No one can figure out what is wrong with him. i don't know all the specifics but apparently they ran blood tests and stuff and cant' find anything. now he is waiting to find out about going to a specialist.... he doesn't even know what kind of specialist they are sending him to or when he will be able to get in to see this specialist.

I hope everything is OK. his wife is due to have their 4th child in June. I really hope they can find something to help him by then so he can enjoy his new little one. he has two girls and a boy already.... they are 10, 5 and 4.

this is kinda scary. It's been going on for about 4 months now and they have NO idea what it could be.

I sometimes throw up because of food allergies - and it's usually a 12-hour ordeal, long after whatever the offending substance was MUSt have exited my body. Have they checked for that?

He'll be in our prayers - I hate throwing up, you can tell him he has my sympathy.

Yeah he's had all his allergy tests done. they've done a multitude of blood tests. and they can't find anything. and it's been going on for about 4 months. he's apparently lost a lot of weight because of it :(

thanks for your prayers.... I think he really needs them right now.

I'm sorry to hear this :( Poor guy. Could it be gall bladder trouble? I hope they find out what it is soon and it's nothing serious. I'll keep him in my thoughts and prayers :(

I just sent a prayer for your brother. I really hope they can find out what's the matter.

Have them check for ulcers and/or nerve damage in the upper stomach. My stepmother had been puking for every night for 3+ years and they combined surgeries for those with gastric bypass and it worked!
