my mom is 91 and she has been vomiting alot, Dr. done test and said wasnt worried to much about cancer since she hasnt been losing weight, He ran test and said liver something was high and done an ultrasound a week ago and still havent heard back from him. She had been on nexium for ulsers they found man years age, but after they healed no one took her off of them, so I did when I found out what it does after so long, and put her on natural probiotics. It seemed to help, but she still have vomiting issues and her back hurts real bad. she always had back issues & dr said her back is just plain wore out! Im hoping it is just worse form the strain of vomiting. What do u think it is and what can I do?
Hi and welcome to ChatDoctor.it can be caused by liver issue in many disorders where there is usually alcoholic, viral, autoimmune or toxic liver damage. The most common liver disorders are fatty liver which can be found in healthy people, but usually is resulting from elevated blood lipids, overweight and elevated blood sugar. If ultrasounds didn't find anything and viral markers are negative then you have no reason to be concerned. You should treat it by changing dietary and lifestyle habits. Do exercise, avoid alcohol, smoking, fats, fast food and carbonated Chat Doctor.  Eat more fruit and vegetables, boiled meat and follow some of hepatoprotective diets. Findings usually improves on such measures. If not, then some medicines can be prescribed, but I suggest going step by step. Wish you good health.
