Daughter ill after eating

[aemmons]

Recently, my 10 year old daughter has been feeling ill immediately (if not while) after eating. She is hungry all of the time, but rarely finishes a meal now. We have started to pay a little more attention to see if her illness is food specific. As of now, it appears that she feels ill everytime she eats no matter what she has eaten. This is a child who could easily eat one of grandpa's famous hamburger, fries, potatoe salad, and fruit (she's growing like a weed) and now has trouble finishing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

My husband has Type 1 diabetes and we are worried that this may be an early sign that her sugars are out of wack. I would like to know if there are any other possibilities so that I am a little more prepared when we take her to the doctor to see what may be causing this illness. Any thoughts?

May want to post your question to the experts on this site ... although I would imagine they will also advise you to take her to the doctor sooner rather than later.  

All the best ...

Your daughter needs to go to your doctor if this has gone on for more than 48 hours.  There are soooo many possibilities that only a doctor can examine and identify the cause.  Here are a few possibilities ... according to a web search ...

Gastritis
Gastroenteritis
Generalized anxiety disorder
Diabetic ketoacidosis
Mononucleosis
Bulemia
Depression

Best wishes for your daughter and your family ...
