Hunt for a Solution to Obscure Vomiting Disorder: “Doctors know frustratingly little about (cyclic vomiting disorder). And some doubt that it

exists as a distinct syndrome, though it was first identified more than a

50 white schoolchildren may suffer from it… Some doctors think it is simply an unusual type of migraine, even though

many patients do not have headaches. And other doctors have never

heard of it, mistakenly diagnosing ailments it mimics, including bulimia, flu

and reflux disease.” NY Times
