To all Y'all with gasroparesis or GERD.

Hi,
So basically to put it short. I'm vomiting blood. The doctors said it's normal. I think it's annoying and it hurts. I'm assuming it's because the acid in my stomach has nowhere to go and when I'm sick it burns my oesophagus. For context I have an NJ.

any tips ?
doctors said "if you want it to stop hurting, stop being sick" whilst what they're saying makes perfect sense. It doesn't seem to be possible and I'm kind of in a bit of pain.

any advice appreciated (except of you tell me to see a doctor because I already have and it was pointless) Thanks

Have you considered getting a linx device?

Have you tried small things like elevating the head of your bed, changing your diet, eating food slower, etc? Obviously they doesnt cure anything, but at a point that you're coughing blood, anything tiny that you can do for yourself helps.
Are you on any sort of medication for it?

Are you on Proton Pump Inhibitors? If not, you should be. They stop production of excess stomach acid. Have you had investigations to see whether you have a hiatus hernia? If you're vomiting blood, then there's damage to your oesophagus and your vocal folds are at risk. I'd ask to see a different GP.

How much ranitidine did you actually consume ?
It has been banned by the FDA as it isn’t safe. If u have taken a lot of ranitidine please speak with your doctor.

Lansoprazole and I've tried ranitidine, omeprazole and calcium carbonate. I generally sleep at 45 degrees which was an old habit from NG feeding. I might try temporarily putting the rate down. Although it goes straight into my intestines, it would make sense to slow it down if I want the stuff in my stomach to pass through

It's definitely NOT normal to be vomiting up blood. What is causing you to vomit?

The doctors said it is. They said it’s probably caused by trauma to the throat

What are you doing to cause trauma to your throat? I don't quite catch from your posts whether you are intentionally making yourself sick?

Not intentional. Because I have nothing In my stomach when I get nauseas and eventually sick it is pretty much just acid. Apparently the acid causes trauma

That sounds pretty unpleasant. Are you on any medication to reduce the acid?
