This message is for Vin. Vin, did you ever find out why your wife suffered nausea and vomiting after the dilation of her esophagus? My husband had his esophagus dilated 7/10/06 and he has suffered serious episodes of nausea and vomiting since 7/16. It is now 8/8/06 and it still continues. We have been shuffled back and forth between his GI and Internist. His GI doctors insists that the dilation did not cause the nausea and vomiting. My husband is suffering from thrush and the GI feels that might be the cause. We went to the ER the other day. They do not know why he is experiencing these symptoms. he does not have a blockage via the X-ray that they took. They did discover that he has an infection in his trachea. So the new med he is on also causes thrush so there does not seem to be an end to his suffering. Do you or anyone else have any words of wisdom? We do have an appointment with Shands GI clinic for a second opinion the end of August. I just hope my husband has the strength to go. Thanks, Eileen
