Have you tried digestive enzymes?

Have you been tested for Helicobacter? I would also ask for other infections such as Giardiasis to be ruled out.

Any other medication you are taking that could be causing vomiting?

If green tea worked for a while, you could try licorice tea or camomile or ginger, if not tried already.

If no cause has been found, I would also try acupuncture.

Hope someone gets to the bottom of it for you soon.

Sorry to read you are still having problems and no dx from the multiple Drs.  Have you ever seen an Allergist ?  I am wondering if you have a food related problem that nobody has picked up on ?  

Also, any reason to suspect this may be psychosomatic ?  Psychosomatic disorder, now more commonly referred to as psychophysiologic illness, is an illness whose symptoms are caused by mental processes of the  person rather than immediate physiological causes. If a medical examination can find no physical or organic cause, or if an illness appears to result from emotional conditions such as anger, anxiety, depression or guilt, then it might be classified as psychosomatic.

I am here to help in anyway I can and please know I support you.

Kindly,

Kitt

thanks mudmagnetmum, kitt and janiez

i all ask my gp again regarding my psychosomatic stress condition. i remember my gp refusing to refer to a psychiatric, when i asked him 6 months ago if have any psychological condition,
his answer was "you shouldn't dry-retch early in the morning - as you are relaxed after a good night sleep". anyway i all ask him again for some stress relieving pills and i hope atleast that will work.

regarding allergy - is it possible one being allergic to drinking water - i only drink boiled water left to cool to room temperature and have quit drinking tap water a while ago.

will keep you all posted how i go

back again,

i was able to convince my GP to give me Diazepam 2mg as trial to see if i have stress triggering nausea and vomit. i only feel sleepy after i take the tablet but didnt make any difference with my early morning dry retching. i donno what to do. he has also referred me to a hypnotist and a psychiatrist. let me see how that goes. if they bring out something new i all be able to get rid of this once for all.

hurtandscared:

i totally understand you.  i can´t eat, breath or sleep. i´m 37.  i have chronic post nasal drip, sleep apnea, and bruxism, all of them made worse by gerd.  gerd is ruinning my life too.  i´m 37, jobless, single, haven´t done anything with my life because of gerd. doctors or tests won´t help.  i´ve tried it all. debilitating untreated sleep apnea makes it worse, or it´s the hardest part. i always wonder how come not all people with gerd complain of poor sleep. i also wake up gasping for air, am afraid of falling asleep, and have even had shortness of breath attacks without ever having asthma. gerd is hell, and there doesn´t seem to be a cure.  had a hiatal hernia and the nissen done.  have h pylori, which doctors say doesn´t cause reflux.  sorry to whine, my respects to all here who also suffer from this terrible condition.

john.
