[tri-med] Re: Digestion

Hi Katie,

My son is also 2 1/2 years old and used to vomit after
meals. He was diagnosed with a malrotation of the gut
at 6 months old and this was corrected. Before the
correction he had terrible reflux and vomiting but
after the op it was a ittle better but he still had
refux. The doctors did have him on a medicine called
domperidome to help clear his stomach faster but it
was later found that this drug  was linked to heart
problems in certain people so he was taken off it. 
My son still spits but I wouldn't say this due to
vomiting back up his food, I think it is more that
sometimes the food catches at the back of his throat
and he vomits to clear it. 
I have noticed though about what you mentioned
regarding the poorly digested food hours later. I
think my son has this sometimes maybe because he has
poor muscle tone and I wonder how this effects his
peristalisis (the natural movement of the gut that
moves food through the gut).
