Throwing Up Meals

jdavies71

My almost two year old has started throwing up almost all the food I feed him.  He used to be the best eater and now, we're down to almost nothing eating or staying down.  I know that it is normal for a two year old to stop eating - and he will eat when he's hungry, but my concern here is that he throws up about 50% of meals.

 The throwing up started about 2 weeks ago with the yogurt he gets at lunchtime.  He would throw it up one day, but not the next, and then the day after throw it up again.  So I switched brands of yogurt and that seemed to solve it.  Now, the last three mornings he is gagging and throwing up his morning oatmeal - which he has been eating since about 9 months.  Now, tonight, he threw up a typical dinner that I would give him.

 Any thoughts?  At first I thought a food allergy or sensitivity to dairy, but he can drink his milk throughout the day with no problems.  Help please - I am getting so very worried over my little guy and lack of intake of food.  He is throwing up a lot - everything in his stomach.  Thank you!

Have you called the Dr to see what they say?

My LO did this and it ended up being a bad stomach virus. Have you taken him to the doc yet? Also sometimes they gag and/or throw up when they're constipated

Aside from it being a stomach virus my LO started doing this when she didn't like the consistency of something. She wants to feed herself only so she would gag and make herself throw up. She hates the level 3 type consistency foods that are half chunky half runny.
