17 Weeks Child Has GERD, Milk Protein And Soy Allergy. On Prevacid 15mg. Vomiting. What Could It Be?

My son is 17 weeks old. He has GERD , and a milk protein allergy along with soy allergy. He is on Prevacid 15mg once a day. He power pukes after he eats, has been crying alot like he is in pain. The GI specialist said to give the Prevacid 2 weeks to work. Today, my concern is that when he is throwing up it has a yellow tint to it.... Is this normal? What could it be?

Hi sir/madam,
I am concerned that your son is suffering from GERD and vomiting. Gastric juice, bile juice can give a yellow tint to vomiting. One or two episodes of yellow colored vomiting is not a cause of concern but if yellow to green colored vomitus persists, it may suggest intestinal obstruction and should be evaluated without ignoring.
Regarding GERD, as long as your child is gaining weight adequately regurgitation is not a big issue. But if he doesn't gain weight he needs to be evaluated further.
So just keep a watch for persistence of yellow vomitus and weight gain. Take care.
