4. Vomiting: Beyond the Gut Reaction
Think vomiting is just a short-lived inconvenience? Think again. With Krukenberg tumors, it’s as if your body’s scream for help gets lost in translation. You’re hunched over the toilet bowl, wondering if last night’s dinner was the culprit. But this is different. This is your body’s way of waving a red flag.
Yet, this isn’t just about tossing your cookies. You’re also grappling with the unrelenting nausea that comes before and stays after. It’s an insidious process that ruins your appetite, making the thought of food repulsive. Even your favorite dishes suddenly seem nauseating.
The consistency of the vomiting can also take on a more peculiar character. Unlike food poisoning or a stomach bug where what you vomit is, well, recognizable, Krukenberg-related vomiting can include materials that look entirely foreign. Your body is essentially throwing up a mystery mix, and you’re left wondering what exactly is happening inside you. (4)
