My mum has been throwing up every 15 minutes and I don't know the cause

Question

She is depressed as my dad lyed to a judge in court yeasterday. So she ate her weight in wotsits and popcorn. She has had to call my brother home TWICE from his friends at 6:00AM. It has now been 5 hours, her best friend (a Nurse) called, I told her, she asked if she should come round, my mum said no. Now she is puking every 15-20 mins. and I don't know what to do! I have no medical training!

Answer 1

stress, gastro,too much wotsits and popcorn.

lol, honey sorry to tell you this but your parents still have s*x. It is not just for making babies.

call the nurse friend and ask her to come over. Your mum might not need her but you do

Rather than send me abusive emails maybe you should put more in your questions. Why do you need a nurse?? Because your mum is sick and you are concerned so it might help to have an adult that is specialised in medicine to check her out.Just because your mum does not want her there does not mean that you should not allow her to come. The nurse is not there for you to be checked but for you to get the support. I did not doubt what she has eaten, it may be what is responsible for making her sick. Rather than get on here and ask non medical people who do not know you, questions about an illness maybe you should be seeking help for your mum and as you say she has a friend that is a nurse maybe it is her you should be getting over. And your right. I know nothing of your family. But you asked a question and I answered it. It did not question it's truth, I did not be rude. It was you that sent the rude email, not me. I simply answered your question. It could be the food, stress or gastro that has caused it. You don't want answers then don't ask questions

Answer 2

Call the Emergency Number in your country. Too bad if Mum doesn't want help, she sounds like she needs it.

Answer 3

its becasue she has eaten her weight in crisps. she cant suddenly consume so much food at once becasue she will throw up as her body and stomach lining ant take it. it is dangerous and her body has no other option but to throw it back up again becasue its too much to hangel. especially if she does it all at once. you need to sit her down and explain that this is only affecting her and her own health by her consuming so much.

She is only eating this becasue she is comfort eating and shes turning to food because she wants to take some controll becasue if your dad is lying it is causing stress and loss of your mothers controll as it is out of her hand to deal with. so this is causing her to then turn to food as shes saying " this is my body adn i shall do with it what i please" so basically she is trying to phycologically take some controll over the situation.  

Answer 4

It sounds like she's either having some troubles with bulimic behaviour or else she's got a stomach virus. It's unlikely that she has food poisoning, but just to be safe, make sure she sees a doctor as soon as possible.

Give her lots of fluids (water is best) and ask her to lie down. Leave a bucket next to her for the moments when she needs to vomit.

Although it might be nothing serious, she could end up very dehydrated so make sure that you contact a doctor.  

Answer 5

Make sure she has plenty of fluid.  Make her drink something in between her sessions of vomiting.  The only thing that can be dangerous from so much vomit is dehydration (not enough fluid) or if she is vomiting blood.  If she you see blood, get to a hospital right away, if not, than have her lie down and bring her some water, juice, clear soda, gatorade, or tea.  If she can not drink anything and she continues to vomit, then call her friend the nurse and tell her or call the hospital to see if she can get in.

Answer 6

pregancy or bulmia

Answer 7

I think your mom needs to see a doctor. call emergency services to take her.... no one can give a good idea as to what she might have as non of us can see her and not doctors and that is what she needs and you never know mom might still have a social life while your at school or a friends place

good luck  

Answer 8

She needs to see a doctor.

Answer 9

Sounds like it's stress related.  She has eaten a lot of food that can upset a stomach and been going through a tough time, which can make the body sick.  Tell her to stop eating the wotsits (whatever they are) and the popcorn, have some water handy and go lay down to try and relax.

Answer 10

She may be pregnant, she is bulimic, or she has a bad stomach virus. Oh and i suggest you call the police, this may be serious.
