What Causes Vomiting In Children?
Hi....my son is 15 years old...he has been vomiting for the last 3 months....we have been to 2 different pediatric g.i specialists and so far no one has been able to figure out what is wrong with him....I have changed his eating habits to only bland foods and that didn't help.....have you ever heard of anything like this

Hi,
If no underlying cause of vomiting detected even after consultation with specialist (Pediatrician) then obviously it could be functional condition which is pretty common in this age group it is happening just to draw the attention, I would suggest you to ask the child if anything ever gone wrong if the child was scared to anything, if he is feeling guilty for something, it could be many reasons, or at the last you can go for counselling,
Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
