Dear Ask The Doctor: Whenever my 5yr old son eats some form of chocolate and an apple in the same day he vomits within 24 hours (this has happened three times now in the last six months). This does not happen if he eats just one or the other of these foods. Could the combination of these foods be causing the reaction or should I look for another cause. Dear Dakota: I understand how concerned you are about your child’s health. In my opinion it looks like a simple coincidence, chocolate is someway heavy to digest and probably have caused indigestion or it might have probably caused gag reflex and produced vomits. I suggest you also that in the future if your child vomits again for any reason, keep him hydrated and watch for signs of fever and diarrhea as it might also be caused by viruses or bacteria. I wish you the best. |
