My child has recently been throwing up, it has been happening from May of 2001 to now, September 2001, I have taken him to the doctor first they said it may be acid reflux and put him on Malox, then it happened again about twice a week, out of the blue if he was going to spend the night with a friend or go to school he would get sick right before he was to leave. No weight lose, no other symptoms except he said his stomach muscles felt tight. After he would throw up he would be fine. He is eight years old and shy, but he has always been shy. I thought maybe nerves was doing this, getting too excited or anticipating too much. I cant understand why he would get so nervous that it would make him throu up. He cant even ride the school bus on some days cause right before it gets here he says he feels sick. If he gets ready to go to a friends house he gets sick. Please help I dont understand what has caused this situation to evolve. dustroad
