Our 4 year old has had a few bouts of throwing up after having sweets and it reminded me of your post! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-up-after-eating-sweets#post-2927452 Sun, 04 Sep 2022 09:37:11 +0000 Chuckles 2927452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just chiming in to say that really aggressive vomiting sounds like an allergy. DH accidentally ate some shrimp on a recent trip and had the more violent vomiting I have every heard. But is DS eating sweets at other times, just not after dinner? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-up-after-eating-sweets#post-2927429 Tue, 30 Aug 2022 14:38:17 +0000 HappyBaker 2927429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dynamite: oh I did not know that and he has had COVID. I was actually going to mention diabetes at his next well visit if as he has always been my one kid prone to extreme HANGER and food/sugar related mood swings that seem to be getting worse as he gets older. I hadn’t yet emailed his pediatrician because he hasn’t thrown up since I posted this but he’s also been sort of checking himself more and not eating anything sweet right after dinner, but I will now! Thanks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-up-after-eating-sweets#post-2927428 Tue, 30 Aug 2022 11:47:26 +0000 Dynamite 2927428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since Covid doubles your risk of developing diabetes, I'd probably have him screened for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-up-after-eating-sweets#post-2927397 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 09:50:30 +0000 josina 2927397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: Corn syrup is okay for me, just the high fructose corn syrup is bad, but also depends on how sensitive a person is.<br /> Not really treatable, just have to know which foods to avoid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-up-after-eating-sweets#post-2927396 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 09:11:49 +0000 HappyBaker 2927396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@josina: oh very interesting I’ve never heard of this! The most recent time he had two gummies which the first ingredient was corn syrup. Is there anything you can do for it or just don’t eat so much of it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-up-after-eating-sweets#post-2927395 Wed, 17 Aug 2022 08:56:39 +0000 josina 2927395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably far fetched but depending on what he's eating could be fructose malabsorption? Vomiting can be a symptom but it presents in a variety of ways. High fructose corn syrup is in so much stuff and high-fructose foods include 'healthy' foods like watermelon and apples. I ended up with this lovely issue after a bad virus a couple years ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-up-after-eating-sweets#post-2927394 Tue, 16 Aug 2022 19:26:19 +0000 HappyBaker 2927394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: thanks yea I think I’ll shoot his ped an email. I myself also get nauseous if I over indulge but for him he doesn’t seem to feel sick at all until it’s coming out of him ha. I don’t think it could be gluten/celiac because he eats so much of that stuff in daily life, like I’d think he’d be way more frequently sick if that were the case but I’ll definitely look into that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-up-after-eating-sweets#post-2927393 Tue, 16 Aug 2022 13:25:36 +0000 bhbee 2927393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This seems like something worth talking to your doctor about. I have a sensitive stomach kid who often has to stop eating earlier than others (especially for sweets) but it’s more nausea than actual vomiting (since she has good self control - maybe otherwise she would). </p> <p>Any chance it could be gluten/celiac? It doesn’t always manifest as lower GI, it can just be nausea/vomiting. And it sneaks into so many things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/throwing-up-after-eating-sweets#post-2927392 Tue, 16 Aug 2022 05:50:39 +0000 HappyBaker 2927392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 7 and recently has been vomiting kind of frequently. It seems to happen when he has sweets, so at first we assumed he was overeating / making himself sick by eating way past the point of being full. The last two times it’s happened though he hasn’t had much at all and forcefully vomited everything in his belly a few hours later. Are some kids just super sensitive to extra sugar in this way? There hasn’t been one food consistent the whole time so I don’t think it’s an allergy, unless it’s a random ingredient in lots of things! </p>
