Speaking of regurgitation....

[Guest guest]

I am wondering how long after eating you .... regurgitate. As some of you know

my husband has A & had the Heller back in 2008. He went for a follow up check up

in April 09 & had a subsequent Endoscopy because the dr " saw something " . The dr

never called with results, & my husband never called him. That was his last time

seeing or talking to a dr.

He's had many problems over the last 3 years, some I've posted, some I haven't.

Lots & lots & LOTS of coughing -- he's a welder so that probably doesn't help.

No energy. Can't sleep. He went through a stage about a year ago where he

couldn't eat again. It lasted about a month. He works 2nd shift so we don't see

each other much. I only know what I see.

So Saturday night I was upstairs with my kids & heard my husband in the bathroom

throwing up. Violently. For about an hour. This was about 4 hours after eating

dinner & he hadn't eaten anything after. He will not share with me how he's

doing or feeling, or how often this happens, & like I said seeing him only on

weekends, well that's all I see.

So.....is it still A related if it's that long after eating?? Can food sit in

the esophagus for that long?? When he was first diagnosed, the food wouldn't go

down at all, he'd be running to the bathroom during dinner -- so I'm not sure

what's up.
