I am so sorry that she's dealing with this. I've heard of successful treatment of intractable nausea using biofeedback therapy. The idea being that the body gets stuck in a negative feedback loop and trying to reverse that back to previous functioning.

I hope this gets better for her.
Thank you!! I’ve been convinced it’s a negative feedback loop myself but I’ve not been able to find anything worthwhile on this. This is super and I’ll be taking a close look tonight to add this to my Zotero library. I’ve been shut down by doctors before on cyclic vomiting syndrome but this looks very promising and worth a shot for sure especially with that shared etiology.
Take care!
Yeah, medically cyclic vomiting syndrome is usually more associated with cannabis abuse disorder, so you're probably not going to get far trying to get that diagnosis specifically. But that doesn't mean these same treatment regimens won't help. Think of it as physical therapy for the gut and nervous system.
