Did your doctor advise you to follow a low residue diet? This exact same thing happened to me when I first started having obstructions in the early 2000s and after I was decompressed by Ng tube and blockage resolved, I wasn't given any dietary advice and it kept happening. Once I was informed about it, the obstructions stopped.

Yes, I've been on the low residue diet, however I'm down to 69 pounds and continue to throw up after meals plus the breath has gotten very bad. We're hopeful our local GI will hurry and diagnose and find a solution. If not, my husband wants to get me into The Mayo Clinic. This is no way to live!
