Help...recurring stomach flu!

[soccergirl88 56]

This is a bit of a TMI post so I apologize in advance! Last Monday I came down with either the stomach flu/food poisoning. I threw up yellow bitter stuff Monday and part of Tuesday then I felt better although a bit dehydrated. I stayed on the BRAT diet and took Zofran just in case and felt better but come on Thursday I once again felt queasy..however to prevent throwing up I took Zofran. Friday night I once again started stowing up so I took myself to Urgent Care and was given Zofran and told it wasn't serious. I awoke a little while ago and threw up yellow bitter stuff once again. So my question is what would you all do? Is this serious enough to run to the ER or should I should wait and call my PCP tomorrow morning?

I would definitely call your PCP tomorrow morning- sounds like you could be throwing up bile, which could mean you are having gallbladder issues, and you need to have that checked out.

I just had my gallbladder removed, and while I did not throw up, my worst symptom was nausea, almost 24/7. Nothing helped the nausea, not even Zofran. My doctor did not think it was gallstones at first because I did not have any pain in my gallbladder area- but I insisted on an ultrasound, and sure enough, I had multiple gallstones. So, even if you are not having pain, you could still be having issues- do not let them just send you home without running any tests.

Thanks for the reply! I had my gallbladder removed almost 4 years ago so I can't imagine what in the world is wrong with me. I've never heard of or experienced stomach flu/food poisoning that is on and off.
