Is this common?

My 3 year old is a previous severe refluxer. It was so bad his poor teeth are brown and yellow stained. Anyway, he had a bad gag reflex when he was a baby and I know that is common among reflux babies. However he is 3 now and we have had 3 times now that he has thrown up. All on different days many months apart and only once. He throws up and then appears to be fine. I ask him if he feels sick or hurts anywhere and he says no. I have no idea what this could be. Does this happen to any of your previous refluxers?

Claire will sometimes throw up, but it’s more of a burp that brings up some vomit along with it. Usually, she just does a small amount into her mouth. Usually, it occurs when she has eaten or drunk something and then has been really active afterwards. Bensmama2007-12-08 13:41:42

Thanks ladies. It has happened 3x this year. Once he was trying to stuff bread in his mouth, once was in the car, and yesterday after dinner he was running to go see something. It just seems weird to me. I have never heard of a kid doing that before. Justice will throw up if he gets upset. I think usually because he puts his hands in his mouth for comfort and that actually gags him. I just didn’t know if all this was common among previous refluxers.
