What can't keep anything down means to me

[Guest guest]

It seems quite a few members are taking the phrase " can't keep anything

down " too lightly in answering a recent question a member asked.

" Can't keep anything down " means to me just that: Any time and anything

the person tries to ingest by mouth comes right up again: eat-vomit-eat-

vomit-drink-vomit-drink-vomit. I had that happen when I got

chemotherapy without any anti-emetic added to the mix. Absolutely

anything I ingested caused me to vomit.'

In such a case, the only possible way to get anything into the person

is through the rectum. If one has never experienced a real " can't keep

anything down " situation, they may not understand the absoluteness and

direness of it.

Best wishes,
