Hi MysTerry. Hopefully you have seen the gastroenterologist at this point and got some answers to your symptoms. If so, please share it with our readers.

I am a 34 year old female who 5 years ago had a number of abdominal surgeries which lead up to me having a partial hysterectomy. Every since I had these surgeries I notice that if I am out and have even just 1 drink of alcohol the next morning I am vomiting green bile. Sometimes it last for about and hour and other times it can go on all day. It is really painful when it comes on as my stomach feels like it is almost in knots and cramps really bad. I have an appt scheduled with a gastro Dr. but I have been doing some research on this so was hoping that maybe there were some suggestions you could give me as to what it could be.

Hi Gabe. Hopefully this has resolved or been diagnosed by now. There are many conditions that could present with this type of pain. Gallstones, gallbladder diseases and pancreas problems often causes this episodic pain that radiates to the back and accompanies diarrhea. But there are many other possible causes. You would need to undergo further investigations as a gastroenterologist sees fit. Only after all the possible conditions have been excluded should IBS be diagnosed. The ER is there in the case of an emergency and often will not follow through any further once the patient is stabilized and life-threatening diseases have been eliminated. You have to follow up on your own during working hours with your doctor and possibly consult with a gastroenterologist.

Hi Rachel. That is concerning especially since so many extensive tests have been done with no conclusive findings. While the ER has done some of the groundwork in isolating the cause, your daughter should be consulting with a gastroenterologist on an ongoing basis until the exact cause can be isolated. Remember that the ER is just there to stabilize a patient and ensure that he/she is not in any imminent danger. The ongoing assessment should be done outside of the ER. Without isolating any abnormalities in investigations it is difficult to reach any diagnosis.

Hi Kaylan. Vomiting that is persisting like this for so long needs to be investigated. It could very well be gallstones or other types of gallbladder disease but there is no way of saying for sure through an online platform. You need to seek medical attention immediately or could end up with very serious, and possibly even life-threatening, complications.

Hi Kaila. Most of your symptoms could be related to gastroparesis and gallbladder disease. As you have been getting medical advice on the matter, it may be necessary to follow the doctor’s suggestion and have the surgery. Gastroparesis is due to a host of different conditions that delays the stomach from emptying. You need to treat these underlying conditions in order for these symptoms to subside. It is highly advisable that you follow up with a gastroenterologist as your condition is obviously getting worse. Delaying treatment could lead to serious complications which may be even more expensive in the long run.
