What about the disease that is celiac sprue? I am not certain of the second word.

What kind of controlled diet does he eat?

I'm also curious what tests have been done? I assume he's been seen by a gastroenterologist?

This is kind of basic, but I assume he's not laying down quickly after he eats?

I'm curious what kinds of tests have been done. Has he had an endoscopy, where the place a thin lighted tube down your esophagus to check for a blocjage, acid reflux, strictures or irritations? Has he been to an ear nose and throat doctor? Vomiting is sometimes a symptom of asthma, amazingly. How often does he vomit? Is it after certain foods? Or certain kinds of food, spicy, greasy, those that have milk in them, certain kinds of ingredients.

Keep going to new doctors until the problem can be diagnosed. So sorry he is going through that, he is way too young for this.
