Hello,
* A normal barium swallow does not rule out every possible cause of chronic vomiting as e.g. gut receptor dysfunction, enzyme deficiencies chemoreceptor trigger zone issues at the brain level and others.
A detailed discussion with treating neuro physician and in-depth evaluation above the said investigation in form of barium is highly recommended to prevent further complications of metabolic path and electrolyte disturbances.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
