What Causes Stomach Gurgling With Persistent Vomiting After Solids Ingestion?
Hi my 8 month old baby vomits constantly and has done since she was born. I have recently noticed it to be more frequently since she has been on solids and her stomach makes loud gurgling noises just before she vomits. We have tried gaviscon and milk for babies with reflux problems - nothing works. I thought as she got older the problem would get better, if anything it is getting worse.

vomiting is very common in infants and it is usually because of physiologic reflux and it's non acidic so please stop the Gaviscon, it's unless.
there is no need to worry unless the child is not gaining weight or vomiting can cause choking and persistent cough .
try to thicken the formula you are giving with starch, add 1 tea spoon to each 50 ml of formula , it's useful.
if associated diarrhoea or bloody stool is there, switch formula into hypoallergic formula which is very effective .
I hope this helps
