Need your suggestion
My Uncle, age 62, drinks 1 jug of water in the morning, empty stomach and then he takes out the whole water, water that comes out is yellow water, like vomit.
He has to do this daily morning.
If he doesn't do it. he gets sever headache, which is intolerable.
I am not able to describe that pain.
He is doing this 'water drinking' exercise from last 25 years.
Although he never says anything, but daily vomiting must be painful for him.
He does yoga regularly and doesn't have any disease.
He doesn't drink, no smoke.no sweets/oil.
To diagnose the problem, he has recently got many tests done, Xray, Ultrasound, CT scanning.
Doctors have not reported any problem.
Doctor said it can be a Acid reflux problem, and to confirm that, there are certain more tests to be done.
which are planned for next week.
We have checked on net in 'Acid reflux' case, major symptoms is chest pain/burning.
which he doesn't have.
Have you ever seen anyone having this kind of problem? Please share..it will be so helpful for him.

Dear Renuka ji, I agree with Saumya Mittal and suggest he IMMEDIATELY STOP the "KUNJAN" water vomiting exercise as I think lot of damage has already been done to his stomach and esophagus.

hi i think he may have acid reflux disease i would suggest nothing more than an endoscopy and if he wants to avoid it (the water drinking exercise) i would suggest pantoprazole 40 twice a day half hour before means it may help him thanking mr Chakresh for information on "kunjan". i agree with him that the vomitting may cause rupture of stomach and esophagus something that is know medically as boerhave's rupture

Thanks Chakresh ji, I have communicated your message to him, Told him not to take out all the water, slowly he should minimize this activity as it will have impact on stomach. Told him to take lime water 3,4 times a day, so that acidity does not form. He is in US, planning to send Natrum phos 6x homeopathic medicine.

THIS IS CALLED "kunjan" METHOD OF CLEANSING THE STOMACH in naturopathy But as my knowledge it is not to be done everyday It is done to remove the "pitt" It is to be done for maximum seven days only at a stretch maximum and while vomiting out water you do not have to remove total water taken otherwise it may damage the internal lining of the foodpipe & stomach , that is what I learnt at a naturopathy center in Jaipur. I do it for only once/twice a month and wife does it 2/3 times a month only. Whenever I tried to over vomit then highly acidic water would come out and damage my food pipe and throat. so it is risky and it maybe that some infection in food pipe and stomach has happened, that is why it is causing acute pain. Probable it has been overdone without the supervision of a naturopath doctor
