Guest guest Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Thanks Kim. Your dry heaves sound more intense than what he has experienced. He is currently not on meds and in the past when he had them, once was not on meds and once was. No pattern there. I did in fact pitch the yogurt and started over with the powdered starter. Just started it today so we’ll see. Thanks for the response thoughJ. Eileen Eileen Cawood email: parvus@...

Not sure my experience is particularly helpful, but here it is. I get dry heaves when my upper GI is acting up; for me that means my biliary tree and Sphincter of Oddi (I have Sphincter of Odd dysfunction), and it usually occurs in the morning (I experience some of my worst nausea between 3 am and 4 am.) Even brushing my teeth can trigger a bout of dry heaves in the morning. Sometimes I'll get dry heaves in connection with having a migraine when a certain smell will set off dry heaves and nausea. I rarely vomit food, by the way, even if I deal with chronic nausea. I also get sustained dry heaves after some medical procedures, and certain movements in exercises, when my upper GI has had pressure put on it. Not sure your son is experiencing the same issues. You mentioned using a yogurt as a starter that had bifidus. I wouldn't use it any more, toss it and make a new batch. I wouldn't think the presence of bifidus would trigger dry heaves, but anything is possible. At the very least, you don't want to risk some mutation and overgrowth of bifidus. If the dry heaves persist, then it might be a good idea to check in with your son's doctor. Might be a reaction to a medication. Kim M.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Hey :)well, around engineering we like to quote Occam's razor: 'the simplest solution is usually the correct one'illegals can cause all sorts of disconcerting trouble. bifidus could easily have sent your son through a loop. a little illegal can set off a big flare.. I'm glad you have discontinued it, I would continue to monitor him for a little bit and see if it clears up now. Let us know if it doesn't :)Best!! Thanks Kim.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Thanks , His heaves were just that one night and he has not had any yogurt since. The next batch will be complete in an hour or two and then into the fridg. He is going to start with just half a container…I have the Donvier brand Y maker with individual cups. When he gets home from work tonight it should be ready for him to try some. I also made it with cream this time because he has dropped weight and is trying to reverse this! I’ll keep you posted.
