dry heaves

[Guest guest]

Did anyone have a chance to see my question about dry

heaves I posted over the weekend? Any takers on this one?

Somehow I missed your original question. 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.
