What Does Vomiting After Every Meal Indicate?
what could be the cause of persistant vomiting after every meal? Gastroparesis has been ruled out, the gall bladder was removed, upper & lower endoscopies show no ulcers or obstructions. Camera capsule showed nothing. Some days, even all liquids are vomited. HBA1C normal, celiac disease ruled out. This has lasted 18 months, with a 70 lb weight loss.

dear friend
your symptoms are suggestive of psychogenic vomiting.
Psychogenic vomiting is a form of chronic emesis where the etiology is unrelated to a primary anatomic or physiologic defect. It differs from anorexia nervosa or bulimarexia because it lacks the characteristic features of body image distortion, abnormal fear of weight gain, or self-induced vomiting.1 Symptoms include absence of nausea, significant weight loss, occurrence usually after meals, and limited control over emesis
please do visit a psychiatrist and have a chat
