Vomiting After Waking Up, Dehydration, 3+ Ketones, Weight Loss, Dizziness. History Of Anemia. Any Diet Plans?
Dear doctor,
In the past 4 weeks, I have been suffering from weird symptoms.
It started by morning sickness, I would wake up every morning and vomit the acid in my stomach. Even if I tried having breakfast, tea , toast and cheese I would vomit it as well. Until I got very dehydrated and had ketones of 3 +. The concerning part, my ketones were 3+ even after 1 liters of IV. Which I was admitted for 7 days. Am concerned because I lost 6 kgs in one week, pale and I feel dizzy and weak all the time. This is effecting my life style because I can't do much during the day and I lost appetite of eating. Can you please tell me what this means ? And what can I add to my diet to prevent such thing? Please keep in mind that am sicker anemic so it doubles up the way I feel.

Untreated diabetes mellitus can cause repeated episodes of vomiting,dehydration,weight loss or ketosis.You should reconsult your doctor and get yourself thoroughly investigated to rule out metabolic disorders.Treatment will be as per cause
You can take iron supplements for anaemia correction on your doctor's advice.
Hope i have addressed your concern.
