My 7-y.o. son has occasional vomiting associated with no other symptoms. Please Help!?


Question:
My son has had this occasional vomiting x 3 episodes in the last 5 weeks. He gets sick one time and he is fine. No fevers, no diarreha, nothing. I cannot pin-point any coincidences that occur each time- he has ate different foods with each occurance. It does not happen soon after eating...generally, atleast 2-3 hours after meals. I took him to the doctor. He was started on a trial of Zantac almost 2 weeks ago, but he got sick again today. Doctor order abdominal x-ray. We are waiting on those results....but I am confused about why this keeps happening. He is not anxious, not sick (other than a common cold right now) and he is overall perfectly healthy in actions and appearance. Anyone experienced this with children? Thanks in advance! :)

Answers:
Children do alot of funny things sometimes, there are so many reasons that he may be vomiting that until your doctor has read the x-ray report and ruled out other factors I would try not to worry. I know that this may be hard for you to do being a mother but getting wrong information could be worse for your worrying.
It could be something as simple as allergies...I know that when my 9yr old son gets nervous or anxious he has told me it feels like he has butterflies in his tummy and he has vomited from it. Try and relax until you have the info from the tests and then take it one day at a time.
My daughter would vomit a couple times a week. but it was only when she went to bed. We found out she was allergic to her blanket.
