What Causes Vomiting After Eating?
My four-year-old son throws up every time he eats...he does not eat breakfast most of the time no lunch he eats dinner and snacks in the evening.. he has thrown up almost every day for a month after eating.. It does not matter what type of food it is, he still throws up... Six months ago he fell 8 feet from a slide flat on his back and he has had this problem since then...

Hi...I don't think it is related to the fall he had 6 months ago. I feel that because of his erratic dietary habits he is having gastroesophageal reflux and this is why he is throwing up after food.
I feel we can give a try of oral proton pump inhibitor class of drugs to reduce his reflux and then...if it doesn't not subside, he might require an endoscopy. Many times regular dietary habits will cure this problem.
But you need not worry if he is not losing weight.
