Teen nausea - Any idea?

[ThreeBeanChilli]

My daughter, 15, feels nauseous pretty much every morning and then every few weeks gets to school vomits and comes home, often vomits again.

This happened again today - I've rung the doctor and will get "a call" in a weeks time. I assume I should ask for her to be seen and bloods done? (BTW is all doctoring done by phone now?!)

She can't keep missing school. She does lean towards anxiety but she really didn't want to miss school and kept messaging me saying she'd not ask to come home and see if she can manage. She left the sick room to go to her class and then had to run back to be sick again... Similarly last time was a school trip and she wants to go.

We have noticed lack of sleep seems tk be a trigger. When she tried a scout camp and hardly slept she was sick in the morning and had to come home. Similarly with a sleepover.

However she's slept the last few nights so it isn’t that.

Does anyone have any ideas?! Or anything I should say to the Dr.

We'd been letting it rumble in as it would be several weeks between and we assumed it was sleep/anxiety etc but I hadn't realised she always feels nauseous in the morning. (Not possible to be pregnant !)

Any ideas?! Thankyou.

GP can prescribe amitriptyline. A low dose may do it 10mg - 20mg. No weight gain. It’s been around a long time. Taken at night. GP can advise. It’s a miracle drug for vomiting relating to stress or unknown cause.

Oh man we had this when my dd
was a teen, we think it’s a form of
reflux as she doesn’t burp and gets
‘choked up’ often with mucous if she
gets a cough or cold when she also throws
up. Trying to get people to take it seriously
was fun … pregnant ? No. Sure ? Yes. Etc

antacids do help but also acceptance helped.
she knows once she throws up, she’s fine

This is a bit of long shot as it's a mega old post but my dd doesn't burl either and suffers with nausea, QOD can you let me know what helped?

I can feel very sick when I haven't eaten. My uncle also has a condition where if his blood sugar is too low (first thing in the morning before breakfast....) he gets sick. Does she have a proper breakfast? Or any breakfast at all?

Shes 26 and it still happens now
She makes
hissing bubbling noises in her gullet
sHemtook ometrapole for a while but now
just pits up with itsoee
sorry have had surgery and shot

Did you manage to find out the cause? My 15 year old daughter going through exactly this this at the moment. Having bloods done on wed😒

We went through similar and it was the inability to properly process Vit C. With normal people it flushes out of the system but for some it doesn't and is called Vit C toxicity.

Our DC was not having large amounts of Vit C, it was just that the body could not process it, so there was retching and throwing up constantly.

Good luck Op, hope you get it figured out soon💐

I was going to mention this. A friend's daughter was diagnosed with this after months of going to the GP with vomiting.

I think asking for blood tests would be a sensible first step. You can ask for a print out of your results and see what is out of range and discuss with the doctor/take it from there.

My son suffered a lot of nausea as well as an array of other symptoms - blood tests showed raised platelets and after much too-ing and fro-ing and A&E visits he now has a diagnosis of Crohn's and is doing great now that he is on treatment.

I'm not suggesting that this diagnosis is the case in the OP or any of the posters but simply that blood tests can start to give you the first clue to go on.

If the blood tests do show similar problems then push for a Calprotectin stool test which can be an indicator for (amongst other things) an inflammatory bowel disorder. I didn't know about this test and if I did it could have saved us months of misery.

Hope you get to the bottom of the problem OP.

Have you checked her iron levels as you mention she's vegetarian? I was nauseous with anaemia as a teen and have slight anaemia now and feel nauseous every morning.
