2 year old vomiting at night

My daughter is two years old and this past Sunday she woke up vomiting. At the time we thought that most likely she had gotten into some bad food because her Father had picked her up a chicken tenders kids meal late that night when the place was about to close. Well she fell back to sleep that morning and when she woke back up she was fine. She was playing and running and laughing all day. She even rode a carousel! Well that night (Sunday)while she was sleeping she threw up again. She also threw up when she woke up that morning. When I say she's throwing up I'm not just talking about a small amount like spit up she is throwing up a lot. Well after she threw up that first time monday morning she was fine again all day and just as happy as could be. Again on monday night and Tuesday morning she threw up again.
I have been nursing my daughter every since she was born and I'm wondering if there is any way possible that somehow my milk is making her sick. She nurses a little during the day still but mostly at night because she sleeps in the same bed with me. She uses it to go back to sleep when she wakes up and to fall asleep in the first place. I don't think that it is the chicken anymore because it seems like that would keep her sick all day and not just at night. Thanks for any help you can give.

Day 20 of night vomiting and day diarrhea. One trip to the ER, one trip (and countless phone calls) with my pediatrician and tomorrow we are going for a second visit to the pediatric gastroenterologist. Everyone (all of the drs) say "viral" or "acid reflux". All I know is that my 2 yr, 10 month old son is withering away to just skin and bones. As soon as I feel as though we have this beat (a night or two without vomiting or diarrhea)...it then seems to hit him even harder the next time. I am BEYOND frustrated. I am a single mom and I haven't been able to work for 2 weeks. I cannot lose my job because these drs can't properly diagnose and treat my son. He is not a "wait and see" experiment. He is my baby, my precious baby boy and I want answers now!

Allergies?
Flu mist (administered 3 weeks earlier)?
Something worse?

I just don't know! Any follow up from the prior posters would be amazing! Does it just go away? Please help!!!!!

M 5  year old is going through the same thing.  Did your Ped have any suggestions?  It is frustrating to me that I can't get her in to the doc until Friday at the earliest unless I take her to the ER.

My 5 year old has been experiencing the same thing! She started throwing up  and having diarreah 9 days ago. She has NO other symptoms. She only throws up in the middle of the night and always around the same time(between 2-4am).  During the day she is active and energetic and has no complaints.... She eats fine all day long...The vomitting is aggressive but intermittent. She throws up two days in a row and then won't throw up the next night.  At first I thought it was a stomach bug, but it doesn't seem like a bug should last this long and manifiest in this way....Thinking it might be a post nasal drip ....I have no idea but I am really worried. We are seeing her pediatrican tonight. I will post an update. Good luck to everyone.

Here is your answer, why your kid vomit.

Watch what you feed your kids at dinner. Food that contains
MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE(MSG) will make your little kid
sick and throw up every night until he develope resistance to
them or else you will see him throw up everytime he eats food
that have MSG in them. Going to see a doctor won't do any good
if its cause by MSG, most doctor can't test for MSG side effects.
Unless you have a saint doctor, but I doubt it.

If you don't want to see your kid suffer vomiting,
dont feed him MSG'ed food. It will make your life
and his much easier.
