My son has been tested for trouble with his pancreatis. He was prescribed 40mg omeprazole. Last month he was vomiting for a couple days (did not have his med) then stopped when meds again started now vomitng again. Started yesterday occassonally then started againn a bit ago. What he is throwing appears to be a brown liquid. Could this be related to his problem. He has not yet followed up with his gastro after several tests.

Hello and welcome to CHM.
Vomiting is likely in pancreatitis,It is due to this condition.

He needs to take a combination of domperidone with omeprazole.Also maintain hydration well.

I recommend you to take the timely follow up from the concerned enterogastrologist to assess his recovery.If required,he may require intravenous fluids and antibiotics cover.
