    If it's been happening for 2 weeks, why haven't you gone to see a doctor?

    i would definitely see a gastroenterologist. that doesn't sound healthy. there is a variety of things it could be. some more serious than others.

    I've been taking tums and it's a long story as of why I didn't go to the doctor. I mean the weight isn't so terrible though.

    Go to a doctor.

    Not being able to keep down water is likely a bad sign.

    Hey! If you can get to the doctor, do that.

    I had the same things happening to me. It sounds like acid reflux. If it is, Tums won't cut it. A doctor can give you some medication that will actually do something about the excess acid in your stomach. You may also be given a diet to follow, and be told to limit your consumption of trigger foods (chocolate, tomatoes, etc.) Hope you feel better, that **** is terrible.

    Had it happen to me, accompanied with throwing up blood. See a doctor! My blood problem was unrelated [still on-going], but we fixed up the not holding things down.

    Don't ask random internets knuckleheads about medical advice. Seriously. Go to a doctor.

    It is acid reflux, I hate the medicine that the doctors give me for it. It makes me sick. :(

    I have had severe acid reflux problems for almost 10 years and at one point I had completely given up on trying to fix it. I almost developed Esophageal Cancer and felt like the end of my life was on its way. Anyways, After years of searching I came across this blog where a guy told a story about how he cured his acid reflux completely.I read it and it has helped me out tremendously.

    Here is the story if you want to read it http://anxiousreview.com/acid-reflux/

    Hope I was Helpful
