[QUOTE=Rhiannon8404] I have the worst sensitive stomach. I’m lucky if I can go three weeks let alone 3 years. Damn! Sorry you, err, blew it. [/QUOTE] I’m in the same boat. I have a very sensitive stomach and I’m nauseous all the time. I had to miss out on new years festivities this year because I had a sinus infection and, of course, puked a lot. In high school I was diagnosed with a conversion disorder cause I couldn’t stop puking due to stress. My record is 11 times in one day. Beat that! (yes, I went to the hospital and was on IV fluids that time) ---

If it weren’t for booze I’d be at about 25-years now. I’ve got a frigging iron stomach and never get sick. But, there’s the damned Jager to screw things up. ---

So, you’re saying you’re no longer puke-free since two-thousand and three? ---

I went from 1997 to last month vomit free … furosemide screwed that up, i was hurling like I was back being preggers and morning-afternoon-and-evening sick. On the plus side, I lost 17 lbs in 3 weeks… :rolleyes: I have NO idea whatsoever what those people who do teh purge/laxatives find so attractive in that as a means of weight control… 😕 ---

Does it really count as puke-free if you dont count alcohol? Well, in that case it’s been 4 years I think. ---

I read this and vomited. Well, not really. Who remembers '3 1/2 years"? That’s the part that impresses me here. Also, I’ll wait to rent Spidey 3, ok? ---

My record of not vomiting was for about fifteen years, until once I got food poisoning, and then there was a gap of about five years, and most recently I have had similar experiences of vomiting due to an obstruction in my throat. I think there’s something wrong with my throat, but the doctors can’t find anything. ---

[QUOTE=GuanoLad] and most recently I have had similar experiences of vomiting due to an obstruction in my throat I think there’s something wrong with my throat, but the doctors can’t find anything. [/QUOTE] If that obstruction is guano, then I think we’ve hit on the reason 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/well-its-all-over-three-and-a-half-years-down-the-drain/404289.md?page=1)
