Throwing up when I brush my teeth Posted: 04-17-08 20:35pm
Every morning when I am brushing my teeth
I throw up. This has been happening for
the last 5 months. I do have 3-5 beers a
night, but not drinking to drunkiness. I
have no idea if this is physical or
mental. I have diarehea on a regular
basis since I was in my early teens. My
brother has Chrones disease, and I know
that that is not supposed to be
hereditary. There are so many factors
that couuld point to different directions.
I use smokeless tobacco, and have for
many years. I just changed jobs 6 months
ago and my boss & job are rediculously
stressfull. I work 10-14 hours a day. I
haven't been to the doctor in about 4
years, but just applied for life insurance
and everything came back ok. Let me know
what you think, or if you need some
questions answered.

Hi
When you apply for life insurance the
check routine blood and urine. I think you
should see your doctor let him/her know
what is going with you and that your
brother has Crohn's. Some say it is
inherited others disagree. I know of a
family (parents and siblings) that has
both Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis. They
are now finding out other family members
have suffered with one or the other not
realizing this is what they have.
No one wants to go for a colonoscopy but
at some point we all should be checked.
I'm not saying this is what you have as
you have also been under stress with
work.
This may sound dumb but have you switched
toothpastes? Maybe the taste is making you
sick.
The point you made about diarrhea makes me
wonder though if there is something going
on. Having diarrhea on a regular basis
concerns me.
Do you have food allergies? Lactose
intolerant,wheat, etc..
It's difficult to say exactly what is.
Please follow up with a doctor and keep us
posted.

My son was throwing up every morning for a
year we had every test done and they could
not find out what it was and than we
finally found out it was allergy he was
severely allergic to dust mite. not sure
if this help but just wanted to let you
know but he threw up as soon as he got up
not when brushing his teeth and he would
be sick till about 10 am.
