Yea I’d be getting another opinion.

My gastroenterologist had this on the short list of why I was vomiting randomly but 1. It’s not screaming 2. Hot baths didn’t help in the slightest (I wished) and 3. I don’t smoke only eat it.
Current going plan is cyclical vomiting syndrome. Yaaasy.

Yeah, it’s a hot new thing so it’s definitely getting overprescribed. I got diagnosed with it after some intermittent vomiting with lots of nausea. After the symptoms still persisted after six months without smoking any, they started to take me a little more seriously. I’ve also known friends who’ve had issues misdiagnosed.
At this point, it seems like if you’ve smoken marijuana and have any stomach issue, they’ll say it’s CHS

I promise, it was just a few lines during my appointment, and he settled on cyclical vomiting syndrome even quicker ;_;
The questions were like, “Do you smoke? No? Do hot baths help? No? Oh you’ve heard of it! You read a paper? Oh I mostly do papers blah blah blah” then he asked more questions and it was just “Yeah you almost undoubtedly have cyclical vomiting syndrome, but I want to do an upper endoscopy just to make sure it’s not gastritis or cancer or something horrible. You have textbook definitions of cyclical vomiting syndrome” and when I got home and read them it was like. Yep! Sure fucking do.
But I get why he asked, cause the two do seem to have a lot of overlapping symptoms.

Why would that make a difference? CHS is caused by cannabis use, not specifically cannabis smoking, no?
