Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome

Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome (CVS) is a condition marked by recurrent, severe episodes of vomiting that can last for hours to days, followed by periods of normal health. It often begins in childhood but can occur at any age. The exact cause is unclear, but it may be linked to stress, migraines, or certain triggers like food or infections. During episodes, individuals may experience nausea, abdominal pain, and fatigue. CVS is classified as a Functional Gastrointestinal Disorder, meaning it disrupts normal digestive function without any identifiable physical cause. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and avoiding known triggers.
