- Wait, was this a serious answer? You threw me off there, I assumed it was some sort of clever joke. -- nm - Subversive Sep 4, 21:23 1
  - no joke. they had to bust me open and remove the skin blocking my duodenum -- nm - mickpix Sep 4, 21:30
D had this from birth. She went into the hospital when she was 10 days old because of the vomiting. - Trish Sep 4, 21:19 1
- I still can't get past the whole "once a day" part of it, that's what's really making me confused about it. -- nm - Subversive Sep 4, 21:22
She's 18 months. It's totally new, she was never a thrower-upper before. I think she had thrown up maybe 4 times her entire life until the past week. -- nm - Subversive Sep 4, 21:17
Logan did, but he cried a lot with it. -- nm - Spawn Sep 4, 21:09
and if she's still having a normal amount of wet diapers, I wouldn't worry much about dehydration -- nm - dogbert183 Sep 4, 21:08 2
- she travelled recently by plane -- nm - Beryllium Sep 4, 21:09 1
  - Yes, but it was happening before she travelled, then happened during the trip, now is happening in Ottawa where she has travelled to... - Subversive Sep 4, 21:16
