A mama's intuition is no joke.
Brittany's oldest daughter began to have HOURS-long bouts of severe vomiting when she was just shy of three years old. After some doctor's visits and a diagnosis that didn't sit well with her, Brittany's mama juju said "not good enough," and she started researching gastrointestinal illnesses in children. She came across CYCLIC VOMITING SYNDROME.
By some miracle, she was able to get into a GI doctor, sans referral, and the doctor was able to find the right treatment plan to help Brittany's kiddo. This week's episode is all about Brittany's daughter's journey to finding an answer and how the little one is doing today.
NOTES:
- Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome isn't a commonly diagnosed illness
- Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome typically occurs in children from 3 - 7 years old, but it can occur after puberty and into adulthood
- The child typically vomits severely for hours each episode and oftentimes begins in the morning
