Symptoms are throwing up after or in the middle of meals?

Question

my little sister is 12 and she keeps throwing up her food. sometimes she can't even finish without throwing up. she went to a "big time" doctor and he said her intestines are full and put her on meds to help keep her regular, but it hasn't help her keep food down. we don't know what is wrong. if anyone can help i am very worried.

Answer 1

Check up the white of her eyes: If they are yellowish, and if her urine is dark she could have Hepatitis.
If she doesn't have these symptoms, take her to a chiropractor, she could have a problem with her coccyx. That happened to my sister, and she healed as soon as the Chiropractor fixed her coccyx.

Answer 2

The most common cause of vomiting is a stomach or intestinal infection. Viruses are by far the most frequent infecting agents, but occasionally bacteria and even parasites may be the cause.

The infection also may produce fever, diarrhea, and sometimes nausea and abdominal pain. The infection is usually contagious, so if your child has it, chances are some of her playmates also will be affected.

Occasionally, infections outside the gastrointestinal tract will cause vomiting. These include infections of the respiratory system, infections of the urinary tract, otitis media and pneumonia, as well as meningitis, appendicitis and Reye syndrome .

Vomiting could also be attributed to IBS or the acid reflux disease; GERD.
