Overeating with delayed reaction vomiting?

[deplorabelle]

Does any else's child vomit hours after overeating, inevitably at night?

9 year old DS2 has had a few episodes over the past couple of years where he's thrown up everywhere in the midnight 1am window but been otherwise fine. On each occasion, when we trace it back he's had free run at a buffet table or similar and gorged himself on food. But sometimes the gorging could have been at lunchtime and he seemingly fully over it by bedtime. And yet he will still get up and spectacularly spew in the night after a few hours sleep!

As you might be able to guess, he's done it again tonight - hurled all over me in bed and lo and behold I find DH let him eat four mince pies before lunch!!

Does anyone else's child do this hours and hours after overeating? Can anyone shed any light on why it happens like this?

Obviously the solution is to stop him overeating, I know that. (So angry with both DS2 and DH now)

I don’t know the answer, but my eldest does this. He just has to learn not to overeat now. Last time he stuffed himself rotten, he did a 3am puke, but as he’s a teen now, he took care of it himself. Thank god, as the vomit from a high up bed can reach far and wide! 🙈

Thank you gluteus. Don't I know it with the vomit from a high sleeper! At least it makes a change being puked on in my own bed......

My DD has a condition called cyclical vomiting syndrome, which makes her occasionally throw up in the middle of the night.
At one stage it was happening once or twice a week, but now its very occasion - her triggers seem to be tiredness and eating fruit before she goes to bed....although I think last night's episode was due to too much chocolate off the tree.

She tends to feel really wiped out the following day, but is usually okay by lunchtime.

Oh that's interesting underneaththeash. I will google cyclical vomiting syndrome. DS2 was showing no ill effects by 3am though, so not the washed out feeling your DD suffers.

I in the other hand have hardly slept and am alternating working from home with trying to get vomit smell and stains out of my bedroom carpet

We did go through a stage of constant nightly sickness when he was little, but the doctors confirmed it was mental health, not physical as we had just left a horrible situation.

It went on for about a year. After that it became about food, overeating, certain types of high sugar foods. He's been sick a lot in his life. Calmed down a lot more now though, as I said, he keeps an eye on things. He has also learnt how to breath through feeling of sickness and stay calm, sometimes this helps.

I was sick a lot as a child if I got nervous or excited by things. Also with stress too.

Aww DS2 hasn't suffered in the same way. He's just greedy, causes havoc in the middle of the night and then is right as rain after that.

He needs to learn to moderate his behaviour and we need to be stricter with him about this
