mystery vomit!

Hey all, back again with my problems. I've been in remission for about a year following a hospitalization. I called the ambulance due to uncontrollable vomiting and was in the hospital for a week on IV cipro. My WBC was high (31 when I was admitted) which was why they ordered the antibiotics, but they never actually figured out the source of the infection.

Recently I started barfing again. While I've been feeling nauseous pretty much all the time, I've been having vomiting episodes about once a week. Usually it will hit me in the afternoon or evening after lunch/dinner and I will vomit 10-15 times. I went to my gastro about it and he told me to start on MiraLax and Colase to work on my mild-moderate constipation.

Well Monday I had to have my husband pick me up from work because I was vomiting again. While we were driving home I continued to vomit (thankfully he brought bags!). I was passing out/not responsive, so he drove me to the ER. CT scan showed no extreme constipation or other red flags, but my WBC was high again (28). This time they just gave me fluids and zofran and sent me home.

Back at my gastro, I got a proton pump inhibitor (can't remember the brand name). He says if that doesn't work within a month, he wants to do an upper GI endoscopy. But would structural changes really explain this WBC thing? I'm so confused.

So I was wondering if anyone has had similar experiences or has any guesses what this random WBC spike/vomiting thing might be, or any suggestions for futher tests.

Wow, scary. I suggest you have other imaging...maybe barium swallow.

I totally agree to push for upper endoscopy asap. Were yiu checked for h.pylori? It can cause extreme vomiting.
