I’ve watched my son go through these episodes for about five years. They finally stopped when he gave up alcohol and marijuana. This was not easy to do. But now he’s three years sober and one year off marijuana. In the beginning he felt deprived but now he doesn’t mind at all.

My sons CVS was finally SOLVED! 🙏 It’s completely healed now. It was not a stomach disorder like his gastroenterologist thought. Instead, by a fluke, at a new ER, they ran more tests and after imaging his kidneys they found a polyp in his ureter (the tube leading from his kidney to his bladder) that would occasionally block the flow of urine, where it would build up in his kidney and cause excruciating stomach pain (really it was kidney pain that he felt in his stomach) and vomiting. The polyp was removed and he has never had a single episode now in years! I know this may not solve everyone’s CVS, but I hope it will point some of you toward other potential downstream organs, not just the gastro region.

My CVS symptoms started when I was about 11. I'm 19 now, and today I was finally diagnosed. My journey here has been hell. When it started, my kid brain was too young to process everything logically but not young enough to know that it was okay. Countless hospital trips, immense weight loss, constant worrying about vomiting and pain, and anxiety that hung with me through every meal left me feeling entirely hopeless. Every detail of my childhood for the past 9 years has been impacted by CVS. Anxiety and stress were both catalysts for my CVS and catalyzed by it. But today, I've been diagnosed. I have the tools and support I've needed for all these years to move past that helplessness and hopelessness. CVS is and will always be hell, but today I have more hope than I have for nine years.

After like 3-4 hours it starts to get much worse and after another 3 hours its hurts so bad and I vomit this yellow stuff. But I have never been to the hospital for pain medication.

JERROD RICHARD ADAMS·SUNDAY, JANUARY 28, 2018 Handsome Heaves Helpful Hints 1)A Thick Foam Yoga Mat, Inflatable Raft Pool Noodle - really anything to keep your body parts from making contact with Tub or Shower Floor Walls - The protective barrier will keep Tub Sores on your TailBone ,Hipp's, Knee's, Shoulders any point of contact. My Tailbone is Healed and No longer cracks from the Callous YEEAAHHHH. They run from 3$ at Bargin Stores to 25$+ US at Gyms Buy at a Bargin store save 15$- unsure what that translates to in Euro . 2) A Acid Flush - This will drop into belly and Neutralize the Acid inside the belly upon contact and then you yakk up the Neutral liquid instead of Dangerous Acid that will cause Erosion. Think Elementry School Science Fair Volcano . The Main ingredient is Baking Soda it is the Base of ALL the Tums and Stomach Aids on the Market as is Sugar which is the 2nd ingredient it helps soften the water and mix to slide past your gag reflexes taking stress away from that area . I try to Kill outer lyeing problems so that they are not continuing to add to pain and process of CVS. 1st Is Acid Burn- 1 32oz cup plastic- 1/4cup Baking Soda 1/8th or more of Sugar Mineral or Spring Water Cold - Tap Water contains to many Hard Water Deposits and will tear esophagus ,throat areas. Flavored Sports Drink - For Flavor - Many of you I already understand can not stand the Taste of Baking Soda. ----Mix Dry mix together (Sugar and Baking Soda) to stop any clumping ----Add in Water Half way up cup ----Add Flavored Drink Last it sometimes contains Acid in High Amount and will activate the Baking soda before you swallow and you want it to stay inert till it hits Acid in Belly. ----Now Play Time ----Stir Mix Swiftly to disperse the mix evenly in glass and Down ----Do the Hokey Pokey and try not to turn yourself around ----Yakkk it Out ----Finish follow up with a Cup of Cold Sugar Water - As i said before Sugar is to help Soften the Water so if your Diabetic no worries use less sugar also your yakking it out Soo try not to stress on sugar intake ----Try NOT to use Red Gatorade or Any Fruit Punch - Red Dye 40# is Not are Friend also who ever looks into shower after your done will BAD THOUGHTS like you yakked Blood everywhere- LOL They tend to Freak Out LOL3) Being Backed Up- My Advice is Enemma's the laxatizes and stool softners help only so far from above when we are dehydrated are poo track is like Dessert Dry . Do try to keep both ends wet ....4) Pink Sea Salt in Warm Water will Help with Mouth and Gum Pain 5) Magnesium and Potassium are the 1st 2 too go during puking so find a drink you like that has a High percentage to help keep your levels Up. 6) L-Carintine and CoQ10 taken in proper doses will help you absorb more of the pills your taking as well as Speed up to metabolism up to get your Meds worked into the Liver for proper distribution .

Ive had this since I was 3. I only gathered the balls to google it now at the age of 20 and I'm honestly so baffled how so many people in comments and different videos have such similar triggers, episodes and symptoms to me. I literally thought I'm the only one out there like this because I've never heard of anyone throwing up every 15 minutes without being able to talk, drink, eat for 4-7 days on end

I've been dealing with this all my life, I'm 25. I cant find a docter that will for sure diagnose me, but they all say they "think"i have it. I know I do. I live in my bathtub and have no life.

One thing that all of these medical professionals never mention when talking about cvs is that the episodes are not always acute. I was diagnosed with cvs about a year ago but have been suffering with it for almost 2 and my episodes last up 6 or 7 months with a 2 month absence between them. More people need to understand that the episodes are not 14 days at the absolute maximum many of us have longer episodes.

Cyclic vomiting is probably the worst thing I have ever experienced. I have slept in my car for hours covered in puke due to this disorder. It has hit me randomly throughout the day with no rhyme or reason. One thing I experience which is probably the worst symptom is the unrelenting fatigue that accompanies an episode. I've slept on bathroom floors for hours, in my car if it happens when I'm driving or on the road or at work. I have thankfully not had an episode for a couple of months but I know how it goes; it will happen. I wish I could get some time with Dr. Boles.

Stop drinking and smoking, it worked for me!

Away to get an endoscopy and ct scan done to rule out anything else but two docs have mentioned cvs to me and I honestly think I have it, I got rushed to hospital in an ambulance in July the gp thought I had appendicitis but they couldn't tell me what I've been suffering with for the last 6 years. Got admitted to hospital again last weekend and thats when they mentioned cvs. It ruins your life for atleast half a month whilst your body recovers and leaves you to pick up the pieces. I applaud everyone who deals with cvs because wow its relentless. Hang in there everyone, we will get through it 💪

Thank you very much!!! ❤

Definitely a living hell. Iv'e had this since 1982

I appreciate this video. I have brutal episodes of CVS. It's unbearable man! I wish everyone who suffers from this disease the best.

Brutal is almost an under statement! I wish for death every time I go thru this! Someone cure this!! 😩 ☮️💜

I developed this at 27 years old. Took 2 years of testing before the Mayo Clinic diagnosed me. I'm 39 now and keep hoping something better than just treating the symptoms comes along

This disease is ruining my life, and because of my race whenever I do go into the hospital people think I'm just trying to get drugs which leads to me ALWAYS getting "forgot" about and treated pretty rudely. Im going to do whatever i can to actually get diagnosed so i can start treatment and dont have to miss work or social functions and end up in hospitals

See i watched this to learn more about it cause i figured ive read all the articles (ive had cvs for 4 years now) and nothing has really helped me and yet everyone whos been diagnosed with cvs has sort of different response to it as i do like “only happens every couple months blah blah blah” for me thats not how it works it happens to me on a daily basis randomly and she said they average around 4 a year that means im way above the average and its starting to really affect me mentally since i dont wanna say my age since this is the internet but regardless its just really confusing now more than ever

Got CVS during my pregnency 1992. I have been tied to the bathtub since then. My hole working life was over before it even began. I am now on wellfare. No doctor could tell me whats was going on. So in 2012 I found this diagnos on Google & finally got my diagnos . Stress and alcohol is a big no no. Red meat seldom.

After 6 years since my first memorable episode, i got diagnosed this year, 16 years of age, even though we told the doctors we thought I had it so long ago. If you want to hear my story reply :)

JERROD RICHARD ADAMS·SUNDAY, JANUARY 28, 2018 Handsome Heaves Helpful Hints 1)A Thick Foam Yoga Mat, Inflatable Raft Pool Noodle - really anything to keep your body parts from making contact with Tub or Shower Floor Walls - The protective barrier will keep Tub Sores on your TailBone ,Hipp's, Knee's, Shoulders any point of contact. My Tailbone is Healed and No longer cracks from the Callous YEEAAHHHH. They run from 3$ at Bargin Stores to 25$+ US at Gyms Buy at a Bargin store save 15$- unsure what that translates to in Euro . 2) A Acid Flush - This will drop into belly and Neutralize the Acid inside the belly upon contact and then you yakk up the Neutral liquid instead of Dangerous Acid that will cause Erosion. Think Elementry School Science Fair Volcano . The Main ingredient is Baking Soda it is the Base of ALL the Tums and Stomach Aids on the Market as is Sugar which is the 2nd ingredient it helps soften the water and mix to slide past your gag reflexes taking stress away from that area . I try to Kill outer lyeing problems so that they are not continuing to add to pain and process of CVS. 1st Is Acid Burn- 1 32oz cup plastic- 1/4cup Baking Soda 1/8th or more of Sugar Mineral or Spring Water Cold - Tap Water contains to many Hard Water Deposits and will tear esophagus ,throat areas. Flavored Sports Drink - For Flavor - Many of you I already understand can not stand the Taste of Baking Soda. ----Mix Dry mix together (Sugar and Baking Soda) to stop any clumping ----Add in Water Half way up cup ----Add Flavored Drink Last it sometimes contains Acid in High Amount and will activate the Baking soda before you swallow and you want it to stay inert till it hits Acid in Belly. ----Now Play Time ----Stir Mix Swiftly to disperse the mix evenly in glass and Down ----Do the Hokey Pokey and try not to turn yourself around ----Yakkk it Out ----Finish follow up with a Cup of Cold Sugar Water - As i said before Sugar is to help Soften the Water so if your Diabetic no worries use less sugar also your yakking it out Soo try not to stress on sugar intake ----Try NOT to use Red Gatorade or Any Fruit Punch - Red Dye 40# is Not are Friend also who ever looks into shower after your done will BAD THOUGHTS like you yakked Blood everywhere- LOL They tend to Freak Out LOL3) Being Backed Up- My Advice is Enemma's the laxatizes and stool softners help only so far from above when we are dehydrated are poo track is like Dessert Dry . Do try to keep both ends wet ....4) Pink Sea Salt in Warm Water will Help with Mouth and Gum Pain 5) Magnesium and Potassium are the 1st 2 too go during puking so find a drink you like that has a High percentage to help keep your levels Up. 6) L-Carintine and CoQ10 taken in proper doses will help you absorb more of the pills your taking as well as Speed up to metabolism up to get your Meds worked into the Liver for proper distribution .

I have this and had pyloric stenosis surgery as a baby, is there any research done into the relationship between these

HOLY SHIT ! Excuse my language, but this hit me like a ton of bricks. I'm almost 40 and am just now finding out that this is what has been wrong with me for the last 15ish years. I'd just randomly start feeling nauseas and then puke ever few hours for at least a full day. After I'd puke up everything I happen to have in my stomach I'd start puking up actual bile. Not 1 of the 'over the counter' anti-nausea meds helped even a little. Almost everytime I'd end up having to go to the ER to get injected with fluids. From all the heaving my throat would get sore, my stomach muscles would hurt, and it would just put me out of commission for a day or 2 after the episode which has cost me A LOT of jobs. I'm calling my doc 1st thing in the morning. TYVM !

I also have cvs + ibs I developed it when I was 17. Was treated like shit and couldn’t work and started doing Heroin. No one understood. I once wretched so hard I tore a hole in my throat. 💯 points if you knew that’s called Borhov’s syndrome. It’s an extra rare syndrome on top of a rare syndrome and I signed papers to be anonymously used in a text book as a case study and lots of doctors came to see me. I used to search for info about this and 10-15 years ago there was NOTHING. I’m encouraged that people are catching on. For the children’s sake. I was 17 years old A young man I was tough and fresh It nearly killed me the 2nd episode was epic bad. So I can’t imagine a child going through this.

yup i had this too. i'm like 90% sure i saw this doctor from UCLA although i could've sworn her last name started with a Z. this disorder is truly a hell on earth. the saddest thing was when it came back with a vengence after 3 years of no symptoms and absolute perfect health. And the medicine i used before didn't work anymore and the symptoms had evolved in their pattern. i have improved a lot lately and im now at a great college, UCSD, but i often mourn the loss of my high school years. high school is only 4 years and i lost 2 and a half of them. the state of my existence during those years was no better than death. I was never suicidal because i had hope that i would improve, but if i thought i wouldn't improve i think i would've seriously considered ending it. i definitely felt stigmatized by physicians and friends. doctors always seemed to downplay me/dismiss me or just say that i was anxious. 8:30 i feel so heard and justified when she said that other patients experience relief from hot showers/baths. if i was quick enough, i could occasionally abort an episode. fellow stomach pain havers, you guys should try taking super hot baths and showers. they helped me a lot. the one downside, I got really dependent on hot baths for a while and would spend sometimes 12 hours a day in the bathtub with my computer, drinking water, and barf bucket nearby.

I don’t get abdominal pain, but I do get bloating and gut disturbances. I start with fatigue, tachycardia, neck and side head pain and very nauseous. Head feels like it’s going to explode and once I vomit, I feel so much better. Then feel fine for weeks, then again. I do notice stress or food triggers. I always thought it was food poisoning. I did have h pylor, then Sibo and now IBS. But these episodes started way before. Started off once a year, then a couple times of year. Now every other month. I’ve told my docs, and never really been treated or diagnosed or anything 😞

In and out of ER the past 10 year, I am now 30 and it's been really bad this year I have had 7 episodes alone and it's the first day of June :(

I can’t get anyone to listen. They never want to answer any of my questions and I need someone to help me learn to live with this.

I just have been diagnosed with CVS, however mine is less severe and I just have nausea every single day. But when I go out I start vomiting all over the place but it seems that after I go out and settle for an hour the nausea lessens to manageable

My 9 year daughter has this disorder . She was initially diagnosed being acute lactose intolerant when she was 15 days old we switch here simulac formula to vegetable based formula it worked & went away for 8 years now it has come back as sickle vomiting syndrome her trigger is lactose intolerant again. but it took me 6 months just to get it diagnosed now we are good cow products have been banned from our house and we are only using almond or coconut milk no cheese. she is doing great. The cow produces a protein that triggers the wicked syndrome so for you parents out there remember lactose intolerant isn't only milk and cheese there are alot of products made with that protein...good luck guys im working on curing my daughter without harmful medications

The doctor told me I have it just yesterday. I wanna cry this sucks

So if you “get” the condition, how does it start? Do you randomly just vomit without explanation? Or is it first nausea here and there and then the cycle begins and you officially have gotten it?

My 4year old son had episodes for a year before he was finally diagnosed with CVS.Back in June he was hospitalized and had test ran to find that it was CVS we also found out that he had a very low lactase enzyme so we have changed his diet to non dairy and he is now 14weeks without an episode. For a year it was every 6 to 8 weeks having episodes. Longest vomiting episodes 1 week diarrhea 1 month. We try and keep him out of the heat too and make sure he is drinking water.

What about someone who doesn't really deal with pain and it only happens when you eat because it sounds like something I have and I'm 16 so I'm trying to find out what's wrong with me I get headaches and a little bit of pain

Please everyone if there’s one thing we can all do to help us fighting CVS, is SPREAD THE WORD! Talk about to friends, family, coworkers etc!! SO many ppl never heard of it including most doctors! The more people that are aware, the better!! SPREAD THE WORD!! Explain how bad the episodes are. We’re all in this together 🙏 💙

I am living in the cayman islands and my bf is suffering frm cvs he has an episode basicall every day whether he eats or not sometimes it takes only water to trigger him sometimes he wakes up n it starts out of nowhere. Any advice

I have had this since I was 17 and I’m 24 now. Been in and out of the hospital so much I had to stop going to college my Junior year and just getting better enough to go back 3 years later. I first had my appendix removed, then had my gallbladder removed then had my an exploratory gi surgery. She hit the nail on the head and sounds like me. I found out after years that it was anxiety triggered mostly. I would constantly go into in episodes whenever I had a major life event like Birthday party’s, exams, holidays etc. We can definitely feel it come on a lot of us start to feel hot and begin to sweet and our stomach begins to feel like it’s twisting. I have a couple videos on my account if you’re interested.

Do you get abdominal pain?

I think I have this. I have had random bouts of vomiting for about ten years. Really intense episodes but fine in between. About 8-12 episodes a year lasting only a few hours each. It looks like there is some blood in the vomit now. Maybe throat damage from the vomit, I don't know.

I feel nauseous about 2-4 days per week and have vomitting episodes 2-4 times per month. I'm not stressed, and there is no clear cause. The vonitting lasts naybe 10 min. when it happens. So, is this CVS or some other issue?

I have cyclic vommitting syndrome & I have a very severe case.. I wish I could of gone to UCLA ( oddly I was never referred there) but I wanted to let suffers know & Doctors that may read this that I suffered for years & was told it was my depression ( ya I was depressed I got to a point where I couldn't even eat. Cause during an episode mine could last for days & if I did stimulate my stomach with food the severe pain would return.. I am treated with opiates because I have this & a very bad back .. I have tried anti depressants migraine meds but my quality of life was suffering in the worst way I was in agony in 2004 they did a gastric bypass surgery thinking if they could shrink my stomach the pain would ease.. @ the time of the surgery I was 5'8inches tall & only weighed 116 pounds .. I have been thrown to psychiatrist so many times through the years it was crazy .. The hospitals would think I was drug seeking & I was in agony I can't even tell u what it felt like to have this & then not to be believed .. I am 48 now & so many years of my life were consumed with un imaginable pain.. The only reason I am out of the hospital for a little over two years now is because I have the meds @ home to stop it.. I'm very stress sensitive because I know what's coming .. I lived so many years alone in my own head with this.. It is damaging to get the diagnosis so late this does not happen to me 3x a year it happens 3x a month.. I honestly feel like someone who was put in prison for a long period of time only to find out there innocent the way I was treated @ times were just wrong.. The only reason I was diagnosed I feel is because of Greys Anatomy did a show on this because one of the Doctors on the show her daughter has this in real life.. When I was diagnosed I was a mix of emotions happy finally someone was gonna believe me but mad for being not believed.. I'm scared my meds will be taken away because of stricter drug laws that throws me into severe episodes marijuana has helped me but I don't use it now because my treatment works.. But I also know that sativa marijuana is what u want to avoid if your taking that route for the pain & nauseas.. I wish doctors would believe patients that came back repeatedly with the same symptoms instead of almost getting mad at the patient .. I just had a dr less than 6 months ago say to me take your cyclic whatever & go to a mental hospital & get it cured there.. I live in CA I am moving to Florida where I have support but I have to deal with new Doctors if they don't believe in this or are unwilling to help I will have no choice but to return to CA where at least they are treating my symptoms.. I'm so sorry for the people that suffer with this.. I understand completely.. & wish everyone the best.. Thank u Dr for taking the time to talk about this .. Its so important to the people who are suffering & if u don't have support u could take your life over this .. I live in the shower!!

I think I am suffering from this as well. I thought I got a stomach bug last year and went to the ER 2xs. This was last June. I am still struggling and I have lost 50lbs. Zofran doesn't really help and I was taking it 3 times a day before this happened. Found this disorder trying to figure out what's wrong. Now that I'm hearing everyone stories I would think I have a good poison or allergy maybe once a week. I just used pediolite and Gatorade. Takes a week to recover from the sorness. This is making my life make more sense. I can't even think with the nasea and pain. Everything aches. I am sending prayers. I have my first GI appointment today.

I understand everything you say completely. My girlfriend has had this for years, and can understand and relate to seeing this all happen. Prior to this she had UC and her colon removed. Since then those issues are fixed and it’s hospital after hospital, she made it almost 4 months with the help of adivan, but is now in day 17 in the hospital, long cycle, and needed a feeding tube, (not her first) to keep her from losing even more weight, as she struggles already. Luckily she is able to go to the Mayo Clinic hospital and is now (for the most part) listened to by doctors, and avoiding the ones that think your crazy. I hope things have gotten better for you in the last few years. Keep pushing.

I got relief from Hot baths and showers too. A few puffs of Cannabis allowed me to eat again after not being able to watch food commercials or smell food.

I was diagnosed with cvs and my episodes used to be such hell. Never have i experienced nasuea and discomfort of that level. My symptoms definatly have gotten better with dieting and exercise

I need your help

I don’t have a diagnosis for this. But this literally sounds like exactly what I live with and have lived with for the last 10 12 years? At least 10 years. I didn’t develop it as a child though. Mine developed in my early adulthood. Maybe around 19 or 20. I wonder how one can obtain a diagnosis for something like this. Can you get a blood test for it or how does that work?

What happens to a person if they've had it for more 30 yrs?????

While still one of the many undiagnosed, I believe I have had this since the age of 3. I went to GI doctors for about ten years, and was finally told I was just crazy. Was eventually given low dose alprazolam which was a miracle worker for me. Now, with multiple other conditions, the nausea is back and worse yet every GI doctor I see will not even consider this because I have never used Marijuana, and therefore cannot have it. I am going to try and find a GI Dr who will listen to my decades of missing out on things because I am tied to a emesis basin.

The shower is a life saver

Please can you help me! My grandson age 6 has been vomiting uncontrollably now about every 8-12 weeks apart for almost a yr. He looses at least 8lbs everytime. Missing school and activities. He weighs 32lbs at age 6. I believe this is his problem. Where can i get help for him? His last 7-10 days at a time.

I have CVS, and have had two episodes since mid-June. Iife ain't worth living with this shit. I'm scared to eat, I'm scared to travel, I'm scared to do things that excite me; even talking for too long can be a trigger.

If you go to Dr. tillisch’s website, There are some very instructional videos. She has this 3 1/2 minute animation, called the “Brain Gut Super Computer” that just explains so much.

what causes the bleeding?

What if the patient has never ended up in the ER needing fluids? Does it still seem at all possible he could have CVS ~ essentially every other symptom applies to the patient (with the exception of knowing or sensing when an "episode" will occur)? Note: patient is a child under 15 yrs, no substance use occuring

I’m 2 years late but I’m watching this video because I was just diagnosed with cyclic vomiting syndrome (no substance use either). I have never been hospitalized, because my symptoms began during the pandemic so I was always adamant on staying as far away from a hospital as possible, even if hospitalization may have helped. So you can be diagnosed/still have the condition even if you haven’t been hospitalized

I Have this I had it since I was 12 months old I’m 14 all most 15 and it got better I use to have to go to the hospital every month but it got better I was told I had it 6 years ago but one thing I can’t do is sleepover at friends house or I get sick

I use a heater blowing on my back and a fan to keep cool. The heat stinging my skin causes adrenalin producing endorphins for pain. Fighting pain with pain. I'm diagnosed with gastroparesis. I wake up sick everyday.

Just had a six day episode and am on day one of not wanting to die!! I get 3-4 episodes a year. I don’t get serious abdominal pain BUT my whole body aches esp my arms, legs and neck. I have crap insurance and can’t get a diagnosis when I truly think I have CVS. I’m 44 and have been going through this horrific situation since 2013. Mine is so bad every time I can’t even go to the ER-I physically can’t move, talk, or have any of my senses disturbed. So I rough it out on my couch every time. What’s strange is the nausea and vomiting stop around 5-7PM , and I pray I won’t wake up sick, but always do for a min of 3 days and max 6 days-it’s a total tease. I’m also take psych meds and I can’t keep them down so on top of the CVS symptoms I go into withdrawal as well (anyone on Effexor knows the brutality of missing a dose and I’m only on 37.5 mg!) I need to find help cause I can’t live like this! Thanks for “listening” 🙃

My son had this. His was related to heavy marijuana use and alcohol. He gave up both and has been episode-free for one year. I was with him for several of these episodes and they are harrowing to witness. I was heartbroken for him. If yours might be related to marijuana - not all are - I urge you to give it up. I know it’s difficult. But now he is perfectly okay without it. I know he still fears having an episode.
