What Causes Vomiting And Nausea Immediately After Eating Sweets?

My daughter (6) have had random bouts of vomiting and nausea (about 5 times) in the past 3 months. It seems that it usually happens after she eats sweets. For example yesterday she had cake and ice cream and that did it for her. She also complains about her joints and her hip hurting. Should I be concerned?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
vomiting after eating sweets is usually because of inflammation in the stomach / esophagus or a reflux . but before that happens the child will usually describe an epigastric pain , a pain right under her middle chest or sometimes in her chest .
and a trial of PPI like omeprazole 20mg is helpful for 1 month , if persisted I recommend endoscopy .
regarding joint pain and hip pains , if these are consistent with the vomiting episodes and the vomiting has nothing to do with abdominal pain then more history and complete physical exam is needed to reach a diagnosis , because so disorders like juvenile idiopathic arthritis can cause all these symptoms
I recommend visiting her pediatrician to assess her .
I hope this helps
