In Reply to: Question about 7-year-old son - occasional vomiting - ???
Does he mention anything about having headaches just before the vomiting? My son who is almost 7 started having migraines at about age 4 with vomiting and then he usually was fine after he vomited. I didn't have migraines growing up but my mother had them when I was young. May be something to consider.

seven year-old son vomiting
I can sort of identify with this. When I was young if there was going to be something exciting happen, a long-awaited movie, a procession at church, etc., I would wake up in the night vomiting something awful. The last time it happened was when my father died, at age 15. However, mine went on and on until I fell asleep and then I would wake up with everything fine again. I wonder, is he having trouble adjusting at school, or with playmates, etc.? Just a thought. I hope he is fine with nothing terrible going on.

He sounds like he is enjoying his life! The thought hit me, and I am probably wrong, do you think he might be an "over achiever", maybe trying to be always "on top"...and perhaps has a fear of letting himself down, or something like that. Again, just a thought.

Gosh, I just don't know! If it were an allergy one would think the symptoms would be more severe, a one time vomiting episode doesn't really fit, and as you state, these are infrequent episodes. Perhaps take note of what he ate before this happened, and down the line prepare it again and see what happens. Has he complained of any abdominal pain associated with this? One thing regarding allergies...could it be milk or milk products, or just too much at one sitting of this? Bless his heart and yours! These mysteries are a real pain, aren't they? Please inform about the radiology results. I would be very interested.
Question about 7-year-old son - occasional vomiting
Please help! :)
My 7-year-old son has had very occasional vomiting that is associated with no other symptoms. This started 5 weeks ago and he has gotten sick a total of 3 times. He vomits one time and he is fine. No fevers, no diarreha and nothing food - specific that I can link this to. This does not occur quickly after eating. Generally, it is an hour or two after eating. He eats and digests his food properly at all other times, so this is confusing me! He saw his doctor 2 weeks ago and was started on a trial of Zantac. I give this to him in the mornings before breakfast. Today, he got sick again (just one time) and he is perfectly normal now. I did contact the doctor and we did go to the hospital for an abdominal x-ray. I am waiting on those results right now and I guess that I am a little confused about this situation! He has never gotten sick like this before. He never even spit-up as an infant. I have never noted any food allergies or intolerances but now I am starting to wonder. Has anyone else had any similar situations like this? Thanks in advance! :)
