Re: sensory issues-throwing up in restaurants-help please

,

I have a nonRSS son that is also 6 years old and he has thrown up in

every restaurant in town. The worst was after rice, brocolli, and

chocolate ice cream at Benihana (they have carpeting on the floor). I

found it is best to have a large ziploc bag with you. We have also

limited his drink intake before the meal and we always have water to

drink for him because that helps him keep it down.

One extra note....don't try to catch it on a plate, it just makes the

splatter worse!
