I'm posting this on behalf of a friend.
Her son is 3.5ish and has had vomiting and diarrhea on and off since January - it's been so bad his teeth have started to rot away from the vomiting. He is on the list to see a gastrointestinal specialist but she's just found out that the wait will likely be at least six more months.
Bloodwork and stool samples have ruled out coeliac and rotavirus. Gravol (an antiemetic) hasn't worked and neither have antacids.
Symptoms: stomachache, followed by vomiting within an hour. This is followed by diarrhea for 1-2 days.
Timeline:
End of Jan: everyone in the house gets a violent stomach bug. DS was hardest hit but recovered ok.
Mid Feb - June: stomach flu symptoms (eg, more vomiting and diarrhea) 1-4 times a week.
June: all symptoms stopped.
July: symptoms reappeared, and he has been ill four times over the past 10 days.
Any suggestions??
