I am so glad to have found this site, & hope you have some insight into my daughter's situation. The beginning of June, she had a stomach virus. She vomited for the first day with fever, then ran fever off & on for about 4 days. A week later, she woke up at 5:30 am complaining of an icky stomach. She vomited for an hour & a half, with diarrhea once. After she finished, she fell back asleep & woke up a few hours later good to go with no fever, no other side effects, and hungry. Since then, this same thing has happened randomly 7 times.
I thought it might be an allergy, but there is no rhyme or reason that matches up with foods eaten. She is a good eater, meaning we don't eat a lot of junk (occasional 'happy' meal) and she eats fruits, vegetables (raw & cooked), nuts, etc. She's emotional stable, happy, & healthy.
We went to the doctor last week & she has scheduled an upper GI & an MRI of her head for next Tuesday, just to try & rule out some things.
I keep thinking that it has to be an intestinal thing, but I can't find anything online that really matches up. She has had Rotovirus THREE times in her life…the last time being a year & a half ago. She was very sick for 8-10 days, then it took about 6-8 weeks for her body to tolerate food outside of the 'white' diet without an onset of diarrhea again.
Anyway, any thoughts you have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
