How to keep water down?

[alimb]

Hi, I don't know if this is the right topic, but I've been glutened and I'm having a horrible time trying to keep even a sip of water -or any liquid- down. I've gotten to the point of which I'm having dry-heaving episodes because there's nothing left to vomit, and it's incredibly painful and I'm so weak and lightheaded as a result. If I try even taking the tiniest sip of water, doesn't matter how long after I vomit, I start feeling nauseous and I no longer have the energy to try fighting keeping it down. Is there anything I can do to try keeping it down? I've taken prescribed zofran and dicyclomine already.

Get someone to take you to the local ER and get some IV fluids on board. You already are or are at risk for serious dehydration. If you have no one who can transport you or you are too weak to make the trip in a car, call 911.

I'm a minor under my parents roof, and they absolutely refuse to take me to the ER for anything celiac related, and I do not trust myself to drive at the moment. I'll try to convince them once more, though, thank you for replying

Sounds like your parents are in denial about your celiac disease. Do you have an official diagnosis?

Have you been able to keep the anti nausea meds you mentioned down long enough to get into your system?

I have an official diagnosis, and we have a mostly gluten-free household as a result. It's moreso that, since we already know what's happening, there's no reason to go anywhere to get help regardless of pain or if there are any concerning symptoms.

I think managed to keep the first zofran and dicyclomine I took down for a good 20 minutes. Most of this is a haze, but I don't believe I was able to keep anything else down from there.

Prolonged dehydration can cause kidney damage. How long has this been going on?

Are you have diarrhea also? That's what the dyclomine is for I think.
