Seek medical help and don't question the ability of the sickness, get help asap.Health Question & Answer

If you have had bowel surgery it was for a serious reason; something like Krohn's disease, colon cancer, polyps, etc. Check your temperature with a thermometer instead of judging it by touching your forehead, you could be badly mistaken. Sleeping a lot makes me think you DO have a fever.

Nobody on Answers can tell you what's wrong with you, only a doctor can do that. You need to take into consideration that you have a history of bowel problems whether that is the reason for your vomiting or not. also, you could have some type of virus or the flu but you do need to see a doctor IMMEDIATELY. Call someone to drive you to the ER and get help.Health Question & Answer

I am wondering how long you have been sick for. It could definately be a flu bug or even intenstinal problems- it does not matter what the actual diagnosis is at this point if you have got to the point that it is hard to walk on your own. You are too weak and most likely extremely dehydrated. I suggest that someone take you to the doctor immediately and get you some medication to help you out. They can give you something for the vomiting and most likely an I.V. to assist you to rehydrate. For now, make sure to start drinking. You are only going to get worse if you do not attack that aspect of it immediately!! Good Luck!!Health Question & Answer

Ok I am a nurse in practice and it sounds like if this keeps up you need to get to the hospital so they can rehydrate you for one and run a bunch of labs to figure out what is wrong. This could be a number of things that is why you should go. Do this for vomiting:

NPO=nothing by mouth for 3 hours after vomiting
then only clear liquids (flat pop w/o the fizz and caffeine) jello, broth etc.
then 15cc (onbe tablespoon)of clear liquid
wait 30 min
then 30 cc(one ounce)
wait one hour
then 60 cc(two ounces)
wait one hour
then 90 cc (thre ounces)
wait one hour
then 120 cc (four ounces)
wait one hour
then 150 cc (5 ounces)
wait one hour
180 cc (6 ounces)
wait one hour
Then go to a full liquid diet for 6 hours.
Then go to a soft diet, i.e. jello, cooked cereals for 6 hours.
then go to a regular diet.

Keep this on hand so you will have if for next time, but in the meantime either try this, or call you doctor or go the the hospital
Hope you feel better
