Stomach Expanding And In Severe Pain. Medication To Throw Up Not Working

My daughter is 26 and has been to the emergency room twice with severe pain in her stomach , after running test they said her stomach was expanding instead of releasing it. They stated she had 4 days worth of food in her stomach. They gave her pain meds and a pill to make her throw up but it hasn't worked

YOUR DAUGHTER SEEMS TO HAVE DEVELOPED NARROWING OF THE OUTLET OF HER STOMMACH CALLED PYLORIC STENOSOS HENCE PREVIOUSLY EATEN FOOD STAYS IN STOMACH AS YOU SAY 4 DAYS OLD FOOD. THIS HAPPENS AS A RESULT OF COMPLICATION OF ULCER WHICH WOULD MANIFEST AS ACIDIC ERRUCTATION AND PAIN AFTER EATING FOOD. A SPLASHING SOUND CAN BE HEARD / FELT IN UPPER ABDOMEN IF THERE IS PYLORIS STENOSIS. A THIN BARIUM MEAL XRAY OR MORE PREFERABLY ENDOSCOPIC EXAMINATION OF STOMACH IS NOT ONLY DIAGNOSTIC BUT ENDOSCOPIC DILATATION OF NARROWED PART OF STOMACH OUTLET WILL BE THERAPUTIC / CURATIVE ALSO. MEET YOUR GASTROENTEROLOGIST.
