by the way, some children can be extremely fussy about what they want to eat, so you may not be able to feed them your version of good and healthy food.

if he is vomiting even on foods that he likes, then you need to get it properly investigated.

hi desertmoon, some children have a habit of vomiting all the food out, if they dont like it, it starts somewhere when they are 2, when they vomit because it didnt go well with the tummy, then it becomes a habit. they will keep rolling the food in the mouth and choke themselves on the food till they remove it out.other than kitkat, my child would not be able to take any other chocolate, everything would be brought out.

slimy and soft foods can do that.I can throw up on slimy and soft foods, your son is still young.

alsadd is for emergency, but sometimes they will have a doctor available to see you in the other observation rooms.

You can try any of the clinics here for a second opinion, they all have pedeatricians with them.

Hi,

You can visit alsad paediatric then you could have second opinion from any private clinic (PAEDIATRIC ).

Good Luck,

Depending on the age of your child it sounds like it could be a sensory issue (textures). I would probe further, and if you can get help in your home country then I would do so.

sorry for the delay guys...he is four ..he has difficulty swallowing food and vomits very frequently because of gagging...my doctor says he has learned to do this because he doesnt like what he is being given ..but im not convinced.:(

I'm sure someone will be able to assist by recommending a good paediatrician. However please give us the age of your child. Someone here on QL may be able to throw some light on the subject, before you see a specialist.

If the child is trying to learn eating. then i think it is anormal thing. Sometimes It happens mistakenly.I mean it happened with my baby also that while he was

trying to chew the food he mistakenly swallowd it.

Hi,

My dear, you should think the age of the baby, ifr the baby age is very young how he swallow any thing.

clarify ur question.

Bytheway if you feel problem then visit alsadd paediatric hamad hospital.
