I don't have any relevant experience but I think if it were me I'd see if there was any way to get in to see the specialist sooner, or see if I could find another specialist to see earlier to get 2 opinions. I understand not wanting to jump into the ct scan especially since he's happy and seeming well otherwise. I hope you get some answers soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-know-what-to-do-1#post-1603087 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 15:28:55 +0000 LuLu Mom 1603087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: No, they never thought of it as a brain issue. We did the upper chest x-ray &amp; upper scope w/biopsies twice, and the flex-sig once. We have another upper scope in June just to make sure her numbers are still at zero. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-know-what-to-do-1#post-1603030 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 15:17:56 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1603030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had daily vomiting for a couple of months and I was at my wits end. It really is the worst! For us, stopping Pediasure stopped the vomiting. I imagine at this point you'd try anything...maybe go a week without dairy and see? Is there anything else lo's eating that could potentially be a problem? (I realize this is less clear of an explanation if he's throwing up before meals too.)</p> <p>I would be hesitant about the CT scan too, but if it is a brain issue, you need to know... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-know-what-to-do-1#post-1603029 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 15:17:49 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1603029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any good advice or insight, but I'm sorry you're dealing with this and still haven't gotten any answers after all this time. It's good to know that he still seems healthy and happy otherwise! I hope you figure out what's going on with the vomiting soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-know-what-to-do-1#post-1603019 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 15:15:39 +0000 autumnlove 1603019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds very stressful! :-( I hope you get some answers soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-know-what-to-do-1#post-1602986 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 15:06:32 +0000 jedeve 1602986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: He coughs and then he gags and and then vomits. Did they have you do a CT scan at all? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-know-what-to-do-1#post-1602801 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 14:20:29 +0000 LuLu Mom 1602801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it forceful vomiting? This sounds so similar the problems my LO was having. She would throw up with so much force, but then would laugh afterwards like it was nothing. She was diagnosed with EE, which they treated with a couple different medicines, and she's been perfect ever since. We did 2 upper xray (one at local hospital &amp; the second at Children's) which showed us nothing besides reflux (which we knew.) </p> <p>Then at a later date we did an upper scope &amp;* flex-sig. It was discovered during her scope (which was done by the pedi GI) that she had allergens in her esophagus that weren't supposed to be there causing her to vomit. PM if you want more information, I'm here for support. It sounds so similar! We were dealing with little weight gain (she threw up everything) so our docs rushed us the tests. GI was definitely our best bet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-know-what-to-do-1#post-1602738 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 14:06:39 +0000 MrsF 1602738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Poor kid! That sounds horrible. I don't really have any thoughts, but if it were me and my pedi were recommending it I think I would go ahead with the CT. If there is any chance that something is going on within the brain I think that would outweigh any other concerns. Obviously everyone feels differently about these things though! I hope that you get some answers soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-know-what-to-do-1#post-1602696 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 13:56:19 +0000 jedeve 1602696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a little at a loss about what to do with LO. He has been vomiting off and on since January. We thought it was constipation, got that taken care of, but he still vomited. Now we are treating him for reflux, but he is still vomiting. He did a swallow study and everything looked normal. We did some allergy testing for nuts, and he is allergic to peanuts. But it doesn't seem to be related to a specific food - he will even throw up before eating anything. DH and I think it might be related to post nasal drip, and are trying Zyrtec with him - but that hasn't seemed to help the congestion or the vomiting.</p> <p>He is doing great though. Gaining weight, growing, his motor development is awesome, and his vocabulary is through the roof. He doesn't seem sick or bothered when he throws up. He goes right on eating.</p> <p>We have an appointment with a peds GI, but it's not for another month. Our pediatrician wants to do a CT scan, but DH is concerned about the radiation levels. She is concerned about brain swelling, but he doesn't meet any of the other symptoms of it, except vomiting. The pediatrician was fine with us waiting until after we met with the peds GI, but now that we couldn't get an appointment for a month, she wants to do it sooner, but said it is up to us.</p> <p>I'm just at a loss. Littlebaby is coming in less than three months. I'm so tired of cleaning up vomit. (I realize that's petty, but it's true - constant floor scrubbing and outfit changes and all). I am worried about the kid. But I don't know what to worry about more - vomiting, or exposing him to a ton of radiation so little. </p>
