My daughter 17, (does not have a history of eating fried/spicy foods with the exception of an occasion french fry/pizza)started vomiting approx. 30 minutes after each meal about 6 weeks ago. There was no pain or nausea asociated. After the purging, she felt fine. Went to her regular doctor that knows her history of diaphram hernia (left side) at birth, ECMO and bowel obstruction 12 years ago, all surgically repaired. He gave her zofran and reglan. We tried for 1 week. Still having bowel movements. Vomiting/heaving started to hurt but no stomach pain at this time. We were referred to a pediatric gastro. 3 weeks have passed by now and she is having pain in the center just under rib cage. Vomiting is more violent still no nausea. Cat scan on abdomen area, with barium, x-rays, head CT, chest x-ray, digestion study (25% first hour, but caught up in the second hour), endoscope (results were erosions said to not be the worse he has ever seen).He gave carafate, acid blocker in addition. Stomach pain at a 4 out of 5. Periactin was given in addition. This made her so hungry that she ate more thus vomited more bowel movements stopped at this time. We were at a feeding/vomiting frenzy she gained about 7 pounds so far. Was hospitalized for 3 days with IV to give abdomen a rest. The pain subsided with no food on stomach. 2 days following discharge, the pain returned. Monitoring close bland diet. So we at over 6 weeks now, the pain has also started in the lower ab. and back. No vomiting for about 5 days, but the feeling of having to is there. She has only attended school for 3 days in the last 5 weeks. The pain has taken over her life. Our gastro speicalist said to return to him in 1 month, which is about 2 1/2 more weeks. Took her to my doctor, he thought it might be adhesions pulling causing the pain, which no test would show only exploratory which we are not against but doesnt seem to be an option. Anything further we can do?
