I went to the ER shortly after my LP (Jan 15th) with bad diarrhea and than started to throwing up after I got there, they gave me meds and sent me home. Than Jan 21st really bad diarrhea again did throw up once, toke the meds I got from the ER. Than yesterday really bad diarrhea again that has lasted all night, no throwing up this time.

So 3 stomach bugs in 2 weeks or could this be a new bowel problem with just some fluke throwing up because I wasn't eating and had a lot of stomach acid? I do have IBS that goes from one extreme to the other but still hasn't even been like this. I have also lost about 6 pounds in 2 weeks.

I'm going to call the neuro after I hear back from some of you.

I went thru some serious issues with it at the start of my illness. I lost 25 - 30 pounds in less than 2 months, nothing seemed to be reliable help. Constant nausea, just didn`t feel like eating. Later it changed to constipation.

I told my PCP, had a colonoscopey done and no problems there to speak of. I do have spinal lesions, so maybe?

I take generic Metamucil regularly now and not many problems.

Thank you, I also haven't felt much like eating lately. I can go until dinner time with out eating and than only eat a small amount at dinner.

Mom, I am older, 56, it was my first colonoscopey, like 53 at the time,(piece of cake). Better safe than sorry? I would make a point of telling the doc!

Thank you. I'm going to call in a bit. I don't see how he can balm this one on anxiety.

Don't underestimate the doctors, they can blame ANYTHING on anxiety or stress! LOL
