Re: Quick help for vomiting son

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I want to take a guess at this one and say he might have a bit of a stomach bug. I never heard of vomiting from regular food with UC. I do remember reading about one form of Pepto Bismol,(if someone else could fill in the missing info)being allowed. That might calm his stomach down.

My son decided to secretly try a piece of pepperoni pizza with friendsthe night before last and a little cereal last night and is nowfeeling the results. I have heard talk of charcoal and also somethingcalled Gluten Ease, which I probably can't get quickly, but amwondering what all you experts would suggest we try in order to helprelieve his symptoms this morning. I think he's learned his lesson...Thanks,14 yo son w. UC, diagnosed 2005SCD 2007 New MapQuest Local shows what's happening at your destination. Dining, Movies, Events, News more. Try it out!

I deal with chronic nausea and occasional vomiting because of my upper

GI disorders. I haven't found any quick solution, I just have to wait

it out. I keep a supply of Phenergan on hand, but since it's

prescription, that won't help your son as a quick fix [grin].

I do switch to eating soft foods for a day or two, and if my symptoms

are really severe, I switch to clear liquids for a day than introduce

soft but solid foods the next day and then go back to my usual foods a

day or two after the soft foods. All depending on my symptoms.

If your son is still vomiting, he might have food poisoning instead of

eating something too rich or too fibrous for his system. Regardless of

the cause, it helps to stay hydrated, and to drink an electrolyte drink

as well. Naturally if he gets worse, or the vomiting doesn't stop,

visit the ER or his/your doctor. Could also be a reaction to a

medication.

I don't know of anything to stop it per se - and maybe you want it

out??? but if it's a virus or whatever I would say what works here is

give nothing (not even sips of water) for as long as possible

sounds crazy but worked on me with flu one year- ER told me to do it

good luck - and go slow back in -broth etc when ready
