hi there everyone. i have been diagnosed with ibs. i have acid reflux and i have two cyst one on each of my overys. there not worried about the cyst. they just want to watch them and make sure they dont get to big. anyway i have relized i have to stay away from mexican food and onions and garlic. those all trigger me to have to make emergency runs to the restrooms. but i still get major cramping to where im on the floor in severe pain. and usually after i go to the restroom im fine. but iv been throwing up maybe once a week and have acid coming up at nite. the throwing up has actually settled down. it was at a point where i would throw up up to 5 times a day. slowing its gotten better. i tested myself to make sure i wasnt pregnant. but im sorta worried if there is something else wrong or maybe the acid reflux is getting worse. will i need to have surgury done? my tummy just feels like theres something wrong. im not sure what test to have the dr. do. they dont seem to do test unless you ask them. i was wondering what you all thought. would love your opinions. thank you

Excessive vomiting definitely needs to be investigated, but I am not sure what tests a doctor might need to do. A lot may depend on your particular symptoms and other health issues. Here is some information that might help you find more answers for your specific issues.

None of my doctors will order tests based on what I think anyway, but having a concise list of symptoms, how long I've had them, etc. is always a good idea.

hi elise. just posted on the dental board. thanks for all your replys. i went to the dr. the other day. he was a joke. im a veteran so i go to the va hospital. i told him i want to request a new dr. hes a joke. i new right away what kind of dr. he was. guys tend to be sovenistic(s.p). anyway to make a long story short. im tierd of messing with drs that arnt going to listen to me. so im getting a new dr. once this happens ill let them know about the vomiting. its really weird because a few months ago i was vomiting 5x a day. now its every so often. i did make sure i wasnt pregnant. lol. i think the vomiting has to do with my acid reflex. well see. once i get a new dr. ill let them know. okay talk to you soon
