Question : Son (18yrs old) vomits / throws up on a almost continuous basis after eating food-any food. Doctors in area (Orlando, FL) have performed endoscopy, ultrasound, colonoscopy and a biopsy. Cannot find cause- Gurd was ruled out. He is autistic and will not eat lumpy items. Thinking gastroparesis but he will not eat the "oatmeal" for the test. Help!!

Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your.
I understand your concern.
This is a functional bowel disorder which is common in people in the ASD spectrum.
You could try Metoclopramide which has worked in several of my patients.
Best wishes to you and your son,
