My poor wesley

We noticed in April that every time Wes ate a full meal, he threw up. He is fine before he throws up, he's fine afterwards. He doesn't cry. He just goes, vomits, tells you that he "just had to throw up" and then comes back to eat because he's hungry.

If he eats little meals, he's fine. little meals being a yogurt, a handful of baby carrots, string cheese, half a sandwich etc. I never make him finish all the food on his plate. ever. I just don't think that sets them up for good eating habits and I figure he knows when he's done right?

So whenever we go out to eat, he vomits. Two weeks ago we went to a mexican place and he loved his food and ate it all. Luckily we were by the restroom because he threw it all up in the toilet. He then came back and finished his dessert.

Last week he had plain white rice with soy sauce at a thai place. He ate most of it and then threw up half of it.

He had a x-ray done last week (the day after the white rice incident) and it showed that he is a bit backed up with poop but nothing horrid. The doctor couldn't even feel it when she felt his tummy. So he's taking miralax, but the back up shouldn't be making him vomit. They also put him on priolosec which also hasn't stayed down yet.

Okay so then yesterday we went to a huge children's hospital and had an upper GI test done. The test showed that he is normal. I don't get to actually see a doctor regarding the test results until next month, but the doctor doing the test said he looked perfectly normal according to this test.

Wes was really hungry so we went down to the cafe and he had a cheeseburger and fries with sprite. He ate most of it and then 20 min later he threw it up in the bathroom at Michele's. He was fine after and we bought his halloween stuff and went home.

Last night he threw up five times. It did not taper off at all. It was like a full stomach load each time. Four of the piles did not make it in to the toilet. Thankfully I have a steam cleaner.

I'm stressed out though. My poor kid vomits all the time and that can't possibly be good for him and they don't know what is causing it.
