Worried about DGS aged 4

Perhaps it's a bug that he keeps fighting off, but then it springs up again. Hopefully it will pass soon. Poor little feller.

During Sunday night they were clear it was not appendicitis. And in between these bouts he is fine and playing happily. It is bizarre - we keep thinking he is better, then down he goes again.

They would have checked his appendix wouldn't they?

The first vomit occurred out of the blue, but then my DD found an empty family sized punnet of strawberries in the fridge and assumed that the fact that he had scoffed the lot accounted for the vomit - which was mainly undigested strawberries. We all expected that that would be that, but over a week later it is still happening - and he has had no more strawberries, so it cannot be intolerance of strawberries.

You are describing my son age 6 or 7. He was fine, went to school, but after having his school lunch developed stomach pains and was sick. He lay on a bean bag and slept for the rest of the afternoon, and went to bed early when he got home. It only happened on certain days so I did a bit of detective work and soon realised that his symptoms were associated with cheese whirls for lunch. He wasn't intolerant to cheese as a rule, just the type used in the whirls. I asked him not to chose that option again, and left a message with the dinner ladies. He was cured, no more stomach migraine, which is what the GP called it when he was consulted.
Have a good look at what your GS has been eating, and see if there is a correlation. It's worth a try.

I really hope GP can see him asap. I don't like the sound of that at all. Poor little boy (and worried family). Please let us know how he's getting on.

He is unlikely to have coeliac disease I feel as he has no diarrhoea. But he is a CF carrier - apparently a very strong one (whatever they meant by that) as the first tests showed up as him having CF, and then they went further into it and said he was a carrier (as indeed am I, and my DD). I doubt whether that is relevant though as he has been fine so far.

I wish I knew what was going on - poor little chap. He was a chubby bundle of mischief 10 days or so ago.

My DS used to vomit as the only sign that he had tonsillitis. Caught me out every year until he got past being susceptible.

Has he been tested for Coeliac disease?
DGS of a friend had similar worrying symptoms and parents and GPS were at their wits' end. He is now back to health and avoiding all gluten has resolved the problems.

Yes - the loss of weight is worrying me a lot. He was a chubby little chap (but not remotely overweight) and now he looks all scrawny - I hate it. It has happened so fast. I know that their doc is a bit gung-ho, so I am hoping he is not on duty and they see another partner. Fingers crossed.

No experience but hope your daughter gets to see someone who really listens to her concerns without making her feel she's just fussing.
for you, sometimes it's even more worrying on the sidelines than in the thick of it all.

Well lose of weight should be looked for a start. Wouldn't accept anything from doctor until it is sorted.

Could it be a food intolerance or allergy?

No experience of this, sorry
