my seven year old son with history of emesis (diagonosed at 3 with mild sensory integration). He has been vomitting off and on more often in the last month. sometimes all day large amounts. went to pedi who ordered an upper gi scheduled for tomorrow. He hasnt stooled in a couple of days, regularly is very regular. my pedi thinks it is just severe reflux but even on prevacid twice a day he continues to throw up. Im concerned that he may have an obstruction?
Hi, Thank you for posting on Chat Doctor, I understand your concern, According to the history you have given the nemesis is a bit unlikely due to persistent reflux as in which gastric content is not large and not very forceful ejection. Because he has not passed stool for a couple of days It's very crucial to exclude any obstruction as you have already thought of. In kids with sensory integration issues its common to have intestinal problems than others. I recommend your kid to have barium studies of small intestine and colonoscopy test. Hope the answer is useful. If you need any more you are welcome to ask.
