By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.

Vomiting after eating for a period of three weeks is, obviously, both abnormal and dangerous. At 55, your mother is presumably in charge of her own health. Insist that she returns to her doctor, and preferably go with her. Do not leave until you get some sensible answers and a plan of what investigations to do next.
Another reason for possible throwing up, eating way too fast.
Good luck!

One possibility could be gastroparesis, which means "stomach paralysis. It effects the motility of the stomach, making it slow and difficult to propel food through the digestive process. My Mom has this, and after seeing a gastroenterologist, and much gathering of information, I was able to help Mom by changing her diet. Soft and liquid meals help immensely. Things such as cream of wheat, poached or scrambled eggs, applesauce, soups, etc. The person can get adequate nutrition, and can digest much more easily, thus will not have the food sitting there, and then regurgitating it. This is just one possibility to think about. It helped my Mom, and now she is much better.
Good luck, Gaile. P.S. (I didn't put my Mom on the drug that the gastro Dr. advised. It had bad side effects.)
There can be so many reasons for vomiting after eating, that she needs a good checkup. But I strongly agree - use common sense and your skills as a sleuth - to troubleshoot and work with the doctor.

So take her to the doctor, follow the advice given but also look for something simple that may be the cause. Good Luck.
