Suggest Treatments For Upper Abdominal Pain,vomiting And Diarrhea

My son is 17years old. He has been hurting from the upper part of his abdomen for the last 10-12 days. He can t keep food down and has lost 9 pounds in 12 days. We took him to 2 ERs and they gave him a couple of meds to help rebuild the stomach wall. He continues to throw up and we are just waiting for a GI specialist next week. Any help? Please help?

Pediatrician, Neonatology 's  Response
He is suffering from gastritis. Avoid to remain in empty stomach for more than 3 hrs, avoid too sour, too hot and too spicy food for next 2 months. Give him Tab Rablet D 1tab daily in empty stomach for 6 weeks. Gradually his symptoms will come down. Also try to reduce if any stress is present in his life... If the symptoms are not resolving after 15 days do a blood test for serum amylase and lipase, and upper GI endoscopy.
