Re: Delayed Gastric Emptying

[Guest guest]

Tammy - all I know for sure is that when your body is fighting an

infection or virus - particularly one that involves the stomach -

your body will not digest the food properly for many hours prior to

emitting the contents. Even in my non-RSS son - I've seen the same

thing occur. He actually just vomited on me the other night - like

6 times. If she's vomiting for reflux reasons - then, I'm not sure

and hopefully, someone here will have a good answer for you.
