Stomach Bug or Food Allergy??
Since Monday of last week, my son has had intermittent diarrhea and vomiting. He had some diarrhea at daycare that monday then that night he threw up all in his crib over night, and the next morning he had diarrhea again for a little while...then he was fine for the rest of the day. He has had at least one diarrhea type diaper a day (always in the morning time) since this has been going on and has thrown up about 5 or 6 times (always in the middle of the night). We have not given him any dairy since this began, except FI gave him icecream the other night and that was a really big mess of vomit to clean up later that night.
Last night he at a little before 8 and was asleep by 8:30. He woke up at almost 3 am throwing up. I would think his food should have digested in that length of time, but it seems like it's not for some reason. The doctor's office acted like it was just a bug, until I gave more details, then they simply said he really needs to be seen. I'm hoping it's not celiac disease, and I don't think it's a lactose intolerance since it has continued with no milk or dairy. We see the doctor tomorrow afternoon, but has or is anyone experiencing anything like this? A stomach bug doesn't usually last almost 2 weeks, so I'm baffled. Thanks!
Re: Stomach Bug or Food Allergy??
Yes, he's been eating other solids and has a good appetite, but it seems like whatever he eats doesn't agree with him in the middle of the night. That would definitely make sense for it to take longer for him to heal from a stomach bug. I will talk to the doctor about putting him on digestive rest for a day and hopefully something like that will help! I feel terrible for the little fellow! Thanks a lot!
