What Causes Stomach Pain,flatulence And Vomiting?
My daughter is 10 years old, For the past two months, she has awakened around 3:00 AM complaining of severe stomach pain in the middle of her stomach. She then vomits until he stomach is empty. While vomiting, she belches and has loud episodes of flatulence. At first, I thought she was overfilling her stomach or having indigestion, but now I'm more worried because it has happened 4 times with each episode being about a week-2 weeks apart.

The cause is likely to be due to delayed gastric emptying associated with indigestion. Possibility of acid peptic disease also needs to be considered.
Use of proton pump inhibitors along with prokinetic drug like Domperidone will provide much needed relief.
