Brief Answer: Please refer to the following suggestions... Detailed Answer: Hi, If she has been fine before taking blueberries and feel stomach pain after eating blueberries; it could be related. I am slightly concerned with here. Ideally I would like her being examined and if needd should have a gastric lavage done. I would suggest that you visit an ER/urgent care clinic for examination and lavage. If ER / urgent care visit is not feasible, then I'd advise to give her plenty of warm water (up to 3 liter) at once. Thus, vomiting will be provoked and she will empty her stomach from blueberries that made her feeling unwell. She will be fine after that; give her after vomiting some water with sugar and little lemon juice (not too much) and make her rest. After 1 our after vomiting, you can give her acetaminophen, and make her drink water or lemon juice only. Avoid giving heavy meals. All the best! Let me know if you need further assistance!
