HELP! I have a 2 1/2 year old grandson who has a stomach tube. He has a heart issue- surgergy at CHOP in PA. After almost every feeding, he will have an episode of vomiting. I can't believe that this is normal and something can't be done. He had a scope but couldn't find a problem. I thank it now is affecting his nutrition requirements. Any suggestions on doctors or hospitals who specialize in this problem?

It sounds like he may have esophageal reflux. I would suggest that he be evaluated by a pediatric gastroenterologist - a specialist in problems with the stomach/intestines
