Throwing up my stomach medications

I have  Gerd, Esophogitis, Irritable Bowel  Syndrome and Hiatal Hernia.  I take Carafate, Bentyl, Compazine and Kapidex for my stomach.  In addition I have all the necessary stomach potions, such as Pepto  Bismul, Cola Syrup, Alkaline Drops,  Gas Ex ect.  I take those in additon to my regular prescriptions when im suffering badly from nausea and gas. I am now throwing up constant stomach acid, and now even water and Pepto Bismul makes me puke. In addition I am on many medications  for other reasons,  many which can cause nausea.  My family doctor has now reffered me back to the Gastro man  for additional tests. I have already had Fluroscopy, Endoscopoe,  Upper and Lower GI Series  done. I wonder what test are left?  I believe i need a PH test done too, have not had one   yet.  I read something on the forums called Bile reflux,  I am strting to wonder if thats my real problem and not Acid  Reflux or a combo of both.  Any  help Dr. would be greatly appreciated thank you.

If you've noticed you're constipated more than usual lately, it could be your bowels are getting filled, and this is making you vomit.  They could do a stomach emptying test, where they see how fast food leaves your tummy, and might be it's not moving quickly enough on account of some valve isn't working right.  Bile reflux is when instead of going down into the digestive tract, something is blocking it, so it comes up instead, so they could do an ultrasound to see if you've got a blockage in one of your ducts, pancreatic or gallbladder, or even the liver may be the culprit here.  

In the meantime, next time your stomach bothers you, try an alka seltzer, it might help with the acid thing.  Also, you could ask for liquid forms of your medicines.  If you're constipated, add more fiber foods, like salad and whole grains, and extra water to your daily intake.
