Foamy vomit?

[paddbear0000]

I've been dealing with foamy urine now for a few months, but lately, my vomit has been foamy too? Has anyone else have this happen to them pre-dialysis? Is this normal? I'm also shaking so much today, that I feel like I'm vibrating!

My Neph always asked me how my urine is???
I tell him bubbly.  But it may have been like that way before i knew i had bad kidneys.
Maybe foamy is a better description.
Sorry i dont get sick much yet?  always feeling nauseas and im starting to get weird smells.  Like citrona candles.  Guess the metal tastes will be next.  I also have spasms now and again.
Oh and if you do get leg cramps get meds for them.  Mine were extremely bad and the pills my neph gave me have prevented them from coming back THANK GOD

Sorry i wasnt more helpful.......

Foamy urine is a symptom of protein being excreted in the urine which means the kidneys aren't doing their job of filtering it out.  I've never heard of the foamy vomit though,other than sometimes if there isn't much food in the stomach and you're basically bringing up bile and saliva that's kind of as you describe. 

The pre-dialysis symptoms are truly awful.

Yeah, I did some searching about it online, but all I kept getting was info about vomiting on an empty stomach. Most pages seemed to be about foamy pet vomit though. Now, that, I'm well acquainted with!  The problem is, sometimes I have food in my stomach, and it's still foamy.

Every once in a while my vomit is foamy.  I have been told that it is because of the acid in my stomach.   It happends a lot for me when I haven't eaten enough and taken my meds.  I am found that taking my meds with a small glass of 1% milk it helps.  The milk helps coat my stomach.  I don't know it if it the same, but it dose happen to me too.

Amanda, how much kidney function does your neph think you still have left?

[MandaMe1986]

Well last time we really talked about it my GFR was 23.  So I am in stage 4, I hear that is pretty bad.  But I was in the hospital a while back with a really bad infecting in a line I was using for Chemo. And my GFR droped and that is when it started.  But now that it is back up a little bit it has gotten better.  How bad are your kidneys, do you know how much protine  you are dumping?

I'm now back on dialysis, after a 23 year long run with a transplanted cadaveric kidney.  Pe-dialysis is quite different, so that's why I was asking.  I started D with about 16% function but everyone's different.

pre dialysis I had foamy vomit almost every morning     sometimes I would have to pull the van over and vomit
after I started dialysis I hardly ever do it    sometimes, but not often at all
made me think maybe it was time to start diaysis

It is strange, mine is foamy but I thought it was just me.  I almost posted the question a couple of months ago.  Funny how we think we are dealing with something alone and then find out their are others having the same problem.  Thanks for bringing the subject up.

I'm not sure who Manda was asking, but recently, my function is fluctuating between 18 and 14%. I don't seem to notice a difference in how I feel based on my function percentage, but rather, over he last few months, as time goes by I feel worse and worse on a steady course downward. It must be my body telling me the toxins in my system are becoming too much. As for protein loss, I'm dumping about 1800 mg/24 hours. My lab's normal range is 40 to 220.  I've been eating very little protein (at the most, 20 grams a day) over the last 6 months due to a gradual aversion to it, so god only knows what it would be if I was eating like I used to!

Well the question was for you, but who ever wanted to anwser is more then welcome. It actually is better when more people do.  Gives you more of an idea of what ya are dealing with.

I remember having the foamy vomit even when I was just drinking juice or crystal light at the time since I couldn't eat. At the time I didn't know I was in kidney failure and just chucked it up to something weird with the flu I thought I had. no idea what causes it. It finally went away though after 2 weeks of vomitting everyday at the time.

Somethings I wish I didn't remember. I now remember how I felt.
