Every time I have an IBS attack (about every two weeks), I vomit about an hour or so after the pain starts. I go a whole day or two without food when this happens. I can't even keep the pain meds, the anti-spasm meds, or fluids down. I've told my doctor about the vomiting, but she doesn't seem concerned. I'm wondering if I should demand pain patches and anti-nausea patches. Comments?

Vomiting is not a typical symptom of IBS. Many mild illnesses cause some temporary bouts of vomiting. Call your doctor immediately if your vomiting continues for longer than two days or if the vomiting is accompanied by any unusual symptoms, such as extreme head or abdominal pain.

I'd be concerned that your doctor dismisses your vomiting issue, might be time to find a new doc or demand your doc to send you to a GI.

Thanks for your input. I'll be seeing my doc again in January. I'm going to tell her that I want to see a different GE doc.
