[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 267853, member: 1233"] I am sorry. I know you are trying hard to get his anxiety about his health lessened. But I have some experience on this one. As a teen I was on LOTS of medications for a form of arthritis. I would become VERY ill about 3 hours after I took it (it HAD to be taken at a certain time, the SAME time every day so it didn't react with other medications, foods, etc...). At aobut 2 1/2 hours after I took it I would be able to settle my stomach by eating crackers or toast. Sadly, I was in a biology class at that time the year this was teh worst. It was teh class before lunch. The teacher INSISTED that I was just "spoiled" even AFTER the doctor himself called her and told her I HAD to eat at that time and I could NOT improve my handwriting because the arthritis in my hands. We battled for many months over this. Even after the principal approved the eating a few crackers (if I didn't have them THEN, when lunch came around I was in the bathroom vomiting. DAILY) at that time, the teacher refused. I ended up with some rather nasty scars on my esophagus, and much much pain because I vomited so much. It was NOT anorexia or bulimia, it was the medications, but there was very little I could do. I still, to this very day, have problems with my esophagus. It spasms if I eat very hot or very cold things, I have a lot of pain there, and if I get a migraine that lasts several days or a flu bug I end up with tears in my esophagus where it joins the stomach. The stomach doctor actually showed me the problem areas on the video of my endoscopy. I would make an appointment and get him in soon. You really don't want to have him get into a pattern of vomitting from stress (or any other reason) because the effects can last through his life. I wouldn't make it an emergency appointment, but would get him in soon. You will want to ask the doctor about using prilosec or zantac (both are OTC) and can be used for long periods of time. Prilosec works better for many people, but zantac is also effective. I am sorry he is going through this. Puberty is scary enough with-o this kind of stress. For difficult child too! [/QUOTE]
