DS w/ ASD, vomiting at night....

This has been going on since DS (now 6) was about 2. I don't even know if he wakes up when he does it, or if he wakes up then falls back asleep. I just find him covered in it. He will do this in the night for 2 or 3 nights a week. Then he stops for months...then has another week of night time vomiting. I'm soooo frustrated. I'm afraid he's going to aspirate. He doesn't have a fever or loose bowels. I have tried tracking foods, eliminating foods. He was on zantac (per his pediatrician) and has been to see a pediatric GI. GI placed him on an over the counter pro-biotic, and wants to do a scope if it occurs again. Labs are all within normal range. Nothing seems to work. I was hoping someone may have some ideas or suggestions?

    Was the frequency or severity limited when he was on Zantac?  Is he verbal enough to tell you if his throat or tummy hurts?  What was the logic behind the probiotic? Are you keeping a food journal to see if its related to anything he's eating?

    The only time I've heard of this was on the show mystery diagnosis.  the little girl would wake up almost every night to vomit, have no recollection of the event, have no eating issues or any other complications.  Turns out she was having seizures

    I'm not trying to panic you, but if you've been through the gamut with ruling out GI issues maybe it wouldn't hurt to rule this out too.

    To my boys:  I will love you for you Not for what you have done or what you will become I will love you for you I will give you the love The love that you never knew

    My first thought was seizures. Can they put him on a 24 hour EEG?

    We did try the food diary, I never could figure anything out. I've been looking at everything BUT seizures. Guess I was kind of hoping someone would come up with anything else. You ladies are right, I need to check to make sure. I just really wanted to find something "curable". Just didn't want him to have anymore issues to battle. Thanks so much for the input.

    My nephew was doing this and it turned out to be seizures also.
