I've had problems all along with stomach upset and diarrhea but now I'm vomiting.

I've been treating babs and thought I was doing better but I've been declining again last couple of weeks. Now this!

There must be something I'm missing.

I don't know your history, so this is first aid information.

Vomiting and Nausea Treatment
http://firstaid.webmd.com/vomiting-and-nausea-treatment

Call 911 if the person has any of the following symptoms:
Pain in the middle or lower right side of the abdomen
Headache or stiff neck and light hurts the eyes
Vomiting blood or black, tarry stools
Confusion or lethargy

Get medical care if the person has any of the following symptoms:
Can't keep down liquids or foods for more than 24 hours
Fever with abdominal pain
Signs of dehydration (dizziness; decreased, dark urination; fatigue)
Unable to take medication the person normally takes

Self Care for Vomiting
Have the person drink small amounts of water, sports drinks, or clear liquids.
Don't give the person solid food until vomiting has stopped.
When the person can tolerate food, try small amounts of the BRAT diet: bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast.

What is your oral temperature?
What meds are you taking?
If you are vomiting, stop eating until the vomiting stops.
If a medication is causing the vomiting, stop taking it.
