How To Treat Frequent Vomiting And Diagnosed With Gerd?
my six year old daughter has been diagnosed with gerd sense she was six months old, and pretty frequently throughout her life she throws up at least once or twice a month. I have a feeling this is something more, but everytime I go to the doctor he says its just her gerd... I also have crohns disease and I m afraid she might have something along those lines. Please help

Hi,
In a child who is thriving well, 1-2 episodes of vomiting in a month is noting to be worried about. We can not label her as having GERD solely based on this. In GEDR, vomiting will be more frequent and children will not gain wait as expected. Inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's will cause recurring abdominal pain and loose stools, and is unlike to present with vomiting as major complaint. In short, from what you said, there is nothing to be worried. Stay relaxed.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
