What Causes Nausea With Sickness Persistently?

My son who is now 16, feels nauseous every day and has for years. Have gone to doctors, naturpaths, had an upper endoscopic procedure and biopsy, modified diet, nothing is showing up. Once was diagnosed with GERD, don t think he has that now, gastroparisis, does not really have that either. He used to vomit all the time when he was quite small but has not vomited since he was about 5 or so. Still feels sick every day. Any suggestions on where to go from here?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for the query.
Is he the only child?
By your description it feels that you are too protective towards him because of his childhood illnesses.
I feel as he is growing he needs space and needs to take care of himself.
this will boost his self confidence.
He can try some out door games, especially team ones. Initially he may have problems adjusting to the new life style, but this will take care of his digestive system and reduce his nervousness.
Make him do household chores as well.
Let him do all his work including washing clothes, utensils, ironing, shoe polish etc. He may join NCC or scouts too.
On your part stop telling him what to do things in correct manner. Let him make his own mistakes and learn.
