Toddler with really weak stomach

[Chris2315]

Does anyone else have a toddler with a weak stomach who gags and heaves easy? I have an 18 month old and he seems to gag at everything - if he’s sees us with food hanging out of our mouth or if he touches something like slime.

Why would you have food hanging out of your mouth?

See the GP. Gagging is often an early sign of GERD & even sometimes allergies. Eg my nephew gagged all the time after drinking milk & then suddenly out of the blue he had anaphylaxis.

I'm not entirely confident on this but I think I've read somewhere that gagging in those situations could be linked to autism. An extreme reaction to something sensory especially the slime? Perhaps talk to your health visitor if there are other thing that could point to autism
