5 Year Old Throws up in Her Month

It almost sounds like the flap at the top of the esphogus is not closing correctly; especially since there isn't a lot of bile, just some. This is what happens to baby who had GERD most of the time. Usually, they outgrow it, as my son and sister did, but I know some don't.

She needs a different opinion since she is not a multi-stomached animal that chews its cud like a cow or goat. Don't stand down on this...get her a second opinion. It could have been that the doc didn't see a concern after a couple of weeks, but 3 months is a long time!

Yes, I have a suggestion. Take her to a pediatric gastroenterologist. It sounds like she's refluxing and the acid could be causing damage in her stomach and in her throat. It's something that needs to be under control because there can be some serious complications from the damage that can occur.

Yep. Pediatric gastroenterologist. Your doc doesn't know squat. The first time I remember having reflux I was about your daughter's age. I still fight that battle but nobody helped me for years. You are smart to keep searching. Some of us are born with really weak sphincters between the esophagus and stomach. She may also have a hiatal hernia. She will probably have an endoscopy. I have had 4 and they aren't a big deal, no pain.

I agree with everyone else. I don't know where your ped is coming from, but I would get another opinion.

To pediatric gastro doc.

Second opinion it sounds like acid reflux. Don't give her juice r spaghetti or any sweat tarts anything tat upsets acid like strawberry s raspberries apples oranges pineapple. See if it subsides. Milk helps coat n keep things down. It will take almost a month to calm. After that if its still happening I would take her to a gi pediatrician or to a different pediatrician for second opinion.

second opinion for sure!!! that is exactly what was happening to my dad this summer...and he ended up having esophageal cancer!
They did say that the cancer seemed to be brought on by a combination of smoking and acid reflux

I think this probably happens to everyone once in a while... but several times everyday, enough to chew and swallow? And the pediatrician is not concenrned? Get a second opinion... sounds like reflux or maybe a food sensitivity? Tell your pediatrician that you are still concerned and that it happens FREQUENTLY.

I suggest that you call her pediatrician and tell them this is still going on after 3 months. Often there is no need to be concerned until something continues to go on over several weeks. Go back to the same doctor. Otherwise you're starting over. This doctor knows your daughter, knows he's seen her before for this and will take another look. A new doctor may give you the same answer, nothing to be concerned about, lets wait and see after making a suggestion or two, because it's new to him.

My husband does the same thing

This is more regurgitation than throwing up. I put up with this for decades until I learned that it's caused by the stomach 'being out of whack'. Meaning it's slightly out of place but can be manipulated back into the proper place much like how a chiropractor manipulates the back.
With a baby, however, I couldn't say how to do it. With grown ups, another means of achieving it would be to have a big drink of water, and then hop down off a couple of steps. The gravitational action plus the water will get the stomach back into place.
You might want to look for a holistic/alternative specialist who can be of help. At this age, you don't want to start cramming chemicals down your baby's throat (like Zantac, Prevacid, Nexium). Meanwhile, it really isn't life threatening. If you can find something minty to offer, mint is a calmer of the situation. I would find any kind of mint, or minty gum to help. I would even use toothpaste for the mintiness! Maybe some mint extract? Like a drop or two.
