No one has ever seen children like mine

I have 3 children Adam 8 Lily 2 and Ammar 4 months old. Adam the eldest who is not as bad as my other two only eats a decent amount when someone feeds him, if any meals are left on him to eat he would eat what a normal 1 year old would, but i can deal with that at leat he would eat something.

The problem lie's with my daughter who is 2years old and constantly vomits and refuse's to eat anything when i say anything that means anything no sweets , juice, fizzy drinks, chips, burgers nothing. She has had alot of tests done on her like the PH Study, Barium Meal, Endoscopy, and a scan of her stomach and all tests have come back as clear doctors cant see why she refuses to eat and vomits.  According to the feeding Clinic i should just not give her anything unless she comes to food. I did that for a week and all she did was cry and sleep and still refused food.  I have now been force feeding her for a long time i know its not the right way but i cant see another way.  
My health visitor has never seen anyone like lily in 25 years of her career.

I dont know who to ask where to go and just to make matter's worse for me my 4 month old son is exactly like her sister, he's fed via a NG tube as he refuse's to take a bottle, he had all the test's donelike MRI, PH Study, Barium Meal to investigate But all has come back clear, they cant find anything medicaly wrong with him, dispite all tests coming clear he is on omeprazole, domperidone, carobel and is still constantly vomitting.

Is there any hope of my children and me that all this will stop before i die or i have to deal with it until then.

Your story broke my heart. I don't know what kind of resources you have available (money-wise), but the Mt. Washington Pediatric hospital in Baltimore, MD has an excellent program on feeding disorders. www.mwph.org It seems to me that whatever the issue, it has a genetic component, since all of your children are suffering from the same symptoms. One thing I saw mentioned was the possibility of some problem with the swallowing mechanism.....When they do eat (and keep it down), are they digesting okay? Hope this helps....you're in my prayers.

Have they looked into the liver and gallbladder? The thyroid?
