Hi,

Who said that your stomach is not normal? Since the acid levels are fine but you still have vomiting and regurgitation of food, we should get a barium meal investigation. The pass a dye and then X-ray films to see what exactly is the issue.

It is a good thing that there is not ulcer. It can just be GERD if it's infrequent, but since you're getting repeated episodes so we'll have to investigate. You can take Omez, syrup Gelusil. Eat less food. Avoid alcohol for now, avoid citrus juices and fruits.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jinela Desouza, Neonatologist
