Hi doctor, My son is 5 years old. He has been having severe vomiting after meals since he was an infant. At about 1 year of age, the vomiting slowed to about three times a week, which is how frequent he vomits now. He is in the third percentile for height 39 inches at 5 years and weighs 27 lbs. He has been seen by an endocrinologist, and all blood work came back fine. GI did a stool sample, and that was normal. But, he is always vomiting when he tries to eat a reasonable portion of food. He often refuses to eat with the fear of vomiting. His doctor recommended rice on bottle and it did not help. The doctor just wants to do bone scans of his hand repeatedly, but I think it is a GI issue causing the vomiting and slowed growth. He has no other health problems outside of the delayed growth and vomiting. Please help. I have three other kids that are at the 97th percentile height and at least 50 percentile weight.
Hi. It is very sad to see your child in such a situation. For further information consult a paediatrician online -->
