Nausea With Vomiting

Vomiting and nausea can be a sign of serious pathology, and should be investigated. Frequent vomiting is a sign of phosphorus need. It is often with digestive dysfunction. The most common of which is biliary insufficiency or stasis. Other digestive causes include inadequate levels of stomach acid, pancreatibe insufficiency and excess stomach acid. An irritated muscosal lining of the digestive tract can also cause nausea.  One of the problems with persistent vomiting is the potential irritation of the esophageal sphincter, loss of stomach acid and general pH and electrolyte disturbance in the body. The hypochlorhydria caused by persistent vomiting can creat absorption problems, especially for the minerals.

Nausea, with or without vomiting is also a sign of gallbladder dysfunction.
