Have u tried elevating the head of ur child's bed?.....it can help keep the bild up of acid out of her esphogus......and do not allow her to eat prior ro going to bed...at least 3 to 4 hrs...and dairy like ice cream should be avoided as well.
The Health Pages here on MedHelp do have tips on lifestyle changes as well as safe foods for those with gerd/acid reflux.

My 10 year old daughter has been doing the same thing you've described since 1st grade. We have her on a soluable pill of 30 mg of Prevacid she takes nightly before bed. She rarely has episodes anymore, but has had a few 'break throughs' where she got sick even on the prevacid. So, we have just taken her for an endocospy and pH probe at Vanderbilt Children's where we have been told she has IBS - Irritible Bowel Syndrome. She is refluxing during the day and it then collects in her esophagus during the night and causes her to be miserably sick as you described above - she throws up twice and then sleeps it off, ready for school by noon if not before.
Hi and welcome to the forum.
I am so sorry ur daughter has these issues at such a yooung age.
It is possible it is bile...and I wonder if she doesn't also have sinus issues.
Post nasal drip can cause a "sick" stomach,nasuesa, and or vomiting.Depending if the stomach is empty it is possible to bring up bile.
I would call her dr and see what he advises.
