Why Is My Son Spitting Out Foamy Spit And Stomach Making Noises?
My 11 year old son who weighs about 80 lbs (slender, not sure how tall) has been spitting out foamy spit and complaining that his stomach makes gurgling noises. He thinks it happens when he s hungry mostly. He graizes the fridge all day long and also eats normal meals. (sometimes fatty kid fav foods) Whats troubling though, is that I will walk by the toilet and the whole top is covered in foamy saliva. Should note he was on 5mg Methyphenedate 2x daily during school. He s been off the meds for a month now. I noticed this about 1.5 weeks ago and will be making an appointment. Just wanting to soothe the mommy mind :-)

Hello. I just read through your question.
The most common diagnosis in this scenario would be reflux. This is easily treated. I recommend discussing this possibility with your doctor.
