My youngest is autistic, and while she has some behavioral issues, health wise she is fine. She rarely gets sick and when she does she shakes things off fast. That's why this is so puzzling. 8 days ago she threw up at around 6am. We saw that what she had eaten at 6 or 7 pm had just been sitting completely undigested and there was a lot of mucus. We thought maybe just postnasal drip from a mild cough sniffle we had all had. No fever. We thought maybe she had eaten too much food too close to bedtime.
She was fine all day Sunday, good appetite, good spirits. Monday she seemed fine, but was sick again Tuesday morning around the same time. Wednesday she did not vomit but she started having very watery very foul diarrhea.
She threw up again either Thursday or Friday again in the wee hours, again lots of undigested food and mucus. We hadn't taken her to the doc because she was so happy and lively during the day and eating that we figured she was over it. We have an appt for Tuesday because it just keeps happening. Immodium cleared up the runny poop for a day or so but she just threw up an hour ago and she is sleeping next to me and I can hear her tummy rumbling very loud.
Any ideas what this could be? She is on a casein free but not gluten free diet. She takes supplements (probiotics, flax oil, etc.) but those never disagreed with her before. I am confused. Any leads I could research would be great while we wait for her appt Tuesday.
