Weird contraction-then barf. Anyone?

[Anonymous]

DD just ate-I was holding her on my hip w/ one hand around her tummy w/ my fingers right where her esophagus meets the stomach.

I felt a contraction of sorts & out came her lunch.

This doesn’t seem like *reflux*-seems like a spasm of a muscle or something.

Does this soun familiar to anyone? b/c this is what aggrevates her-the feeling of the food coming up & sitting there. I think the acid may be in check, but the spasm & food going up really buggs her. She clenches her chest & turns red while grunting.

This ESPECIALLY happens when she eats solids (almost immediately). She’ll be all happy to eat then gets this look on her face & then she’ll start grunting & holding her neck/chest.

Is there a TEST for this?

Hi Trina,

I just wanted to let you know that Shane does that too. Sometimes I am carrying him and my hand is on his stomach and I will feel it contract. The nurse said that that was his stomach refluxing. So, I think its pretty normal with reflux babies. .. i’d like to know if anyone has experienced this as well….

My son has the contraction sometimes too but does not always throw up. It seems really bad whenever he gets a virus for some reason…

Ben does it too.

unless it is just a dribbly spit up, i think that your stomach has to contract for a person to throw up. i think you just happened to have your hand in the right spot to feel it when it happened.
