Stomach pain and throwing up repeatedly

Posted by pinkfaith1979 @pinkfaith1979, May 4, 2018

My 11 year old son has that had stomach pains and has been throwing up for a month and the doctors just want to keep giving him meds they've done CT scans x-rays MRIs and still no idea what is going on he throws at 4 to 6 times a day he hasn't lost weight and has no fever and I'm very frustrated that he has missed almost a month of school because of this cuz he can hardly move cuz it stomach hurts

Hi there,
I've seen some other posts mentioning Functional Dyspepsia (FD) or Dyspepsia but 'usually" there is no vomiting with FD. Have you considered requesting a Gastric Emptying Study (GES)? It will show if your son's stomach is emptying normally or if delayed. If delayed, this is known as Gastroparesis and can be treated with diet, meds and possibly counseling (CBT) for stress related issues. Yes, even for an 11 y/o. Being a kid is hard these days. Would also want to check for sleep issues. Not sure where you are located but you could also get a second opinion. Hope you find an answer.
