It's a way of life for me I've had to change my diet. I found that I have slow digestion. Food kinda stays in my gut too long.

Nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain can be concerning symptoms that many people living with HIV experience. When these symptoms persist for an extended period, as in your case, it's important that you're seeking medical care - which you're already doing by being in the hospital.

Your healthcare providers may want to run some additional tests, including blood work and stool samples, to help determine the underlying cause. In some cases, they might recommend more detailed examinations like an endoscopy or imaging tests to get a clearer picture of what's happening. These symptoms could be related to various factors, including changes in HIV treatment, infections, or other complications. It's especially important to monitor for signs of dehydration while experiencing prolonged vomiting. Make sure to tell your healthcare team about any other symptoms you may be experiencing, such as weight loss, night sweats, fever, or fatigue, as this information can help them determine the best course of treatment.
