Vomiting linked to unknown autoimmune disorder

A woman would experience severe bouts of vomiting that sometimes caused her to retch more than 30 times in a day. Based on her symptoms, doctors diagnosed the patient with "cyclic vomiting syndrome," a disorder characterized by sudden vomiting attacks interspersed with long periods without symptoms. They also determined that an autoimmune disorder seems to drive her vomiting episodes, although they're still working out how.
