[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsmith123][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsmith123][quote=Anonymous]My 8 year old didn’t throw up for about 2 years. Then she threw up one day in Oct., one day in Nov., and one day in Dec.  I took her to the ped after the 3rd time. She said I could try probiotic but not to expect a miracle. She checked her stomach (nothing seemed abnormal from the exam) and her throat (no strep). And to keep a log of what she ate when she got sick. Then she threw up one day in Jan.

I did note of all things she had chickpeas the day before in Dec and Jan. I mentioned this at her well visit and dr said might be worth talking to an allergist.

Could still be bad luck with viruses - idk. [/quote]

Is the vomiting single instance, or is it a 24 hour bug?[/quote]

More like a 6 hour bug each time. [/quote]

Our DD gets some thing like that’s where it lasts anywhere from 1 to 6 hours, vomiting and nausea. DD would look super pale and end up taking a quick nap which was unusual. Turns out it was migraines. It was happening about once a month.  [/quote]

Yes, this is the exact thing that happens with my son too.[/quote]

This exact thing happens with my son too.  Our ped is not helpful and said to see a neurologist.  Have you don’t anything that has helped?

Our family has had 3 stomach viruses cycle through everyone this school year, plus one of my children has celiac and the other has the migraines.  So much vomit in my house. I think before this year, we maybe had 1 stomach thing once a year or every other year.  This year has been brutal. [/quote]

Our family sees a neurologist for a separate issue. We talked to them about the stomach migraines. They said to see if we could figure out what was triggering them, staying up too late, certain foods, etc and to my child’s dismay, we did discovered that two of the three most recent times they had a Slurpee the night before, and we have found they are very sensitive to those kind of dyes in foods. (it was very random that they happened to have a Slurpee two weeks in a row as we rarely have them).  Our neurologist said unless you’re having migraines more than once a week they do not recommend medication. At the first sign of the nausea/stomach ache, or when they think it’s coming on (an aura), to give them child’s Motrin. This is seem to work in our case. [/quote]
