7 year old son has been throwing up at night on and off for a few months now. Once he has thrown up, he goes back to sleep and is fine. He was put on a once a day fibre in a glass of juice close to a year ago now, because he was badly constipated. Should I be taking him in to see the Dr.?
Thanks for consulting at Chat Doctor. An overdose of fiber supplements can provoke nausea and vomiting. These symptoms may indicate a fiber blockage in your intestines. A ball of the supplement, called a bezoar, may form in stomach and provoke nausea and vomiting. A fiber bezoar is most likely to form if child Chat Doctor.
