Suggest Cause And Remedy For Vomiting And Stomach Pain
My daughter who is 6 has been getting sick with vomiting and stomach pain where she s doubling over but this only happens once every so often, first it began 6-7 months ago and would be every 7-9 days and would happen about the same time of day, she would then vomit 3 times then fall asleep for the rest of the day and wake up fine the next day. Then it would happen about once every two weeks with the same thing, she would vomit 2-3 times fall asleep and be fine the next day, now it s happening once every 10 days. She s had urine and blood test and have all been clear and i ve done a food diary and nothing she s eating has been out of the ordinary. Doctors dont seam to know what s happening and i m at a loss.

Hi...by what you quote I feel that your kid is having a cyclical vomiting syndrome. Please ask your doctor to consider this possibility and work up on these lines.
Cyclic vomiting syndrome, is a disorder with sudden, repeated attacks—also called episodes—of severe nausea, vomiting, and physical exhaustion that occur without any obvious cause.
The episodes can last from a few hours to several days. Episodes can be so severe that a person has to stay in bed for days, unable to go to school or work. A person may need treatment at an emergency room or a hospital during episodes. After an episode, a person usually experiences symptom-free periods lasting a few weeks to several months.
