I call them dry heaves, cos they keep me glued to the toilet seat, although nothing's coming out, like the dry heaves after you puke. I take a narcotic to stop it. One Tylenol-3 makes it stop within minutes. Like a miracle, that is. The empty urges are even worse than the attack, cause i can't go to sleep until hours afterwards, even tho everything's out of me!! That's so not fair!
I also get *ravenous* after an attack. Stoopid body making me hungry after being so sick! The agonizing thing is I have to force myself to not eat afterwards, or else it'll restart the cycle. I'll fast until the hunger goes away, then allowing myself a teensey bit of soluable fiber only. It's so hard after a bad attack, because the littlest overindulgance can keep me sick for days.
Good luck to you!!
