Need some advice. My boyfriends daughter is saying her stomach is upset today and that she’s throwing up. She tends to eat really fast which leads to overeating so I’ve been working with her on that but she says it feels like she’s actually sick. Anyway I’ve had her laying down and she wants to run around and play with the others but I keep telling her to lay down if she’s sick. She went to the restroom and was throwing up and I peeked in to check on her and her hands were in her mouth like she was gagging herself to throw up. I’m not sure how to go about this. Now she’s saying she wants Mac and cheese and I said I’ll make toast because of her stomach and she now feels better. I don’t want to think she’s faking but it seems like it 😞

I used to do this when I felt sick to my stomach. I would do it till I threw up and I would feel much better! I actually had to do it a couple times while pregnant with my son.
Yeah I know that can help. It’s a good point I didn’t think about. She is feeling better too I guess so we shall see.
Tell her dad right away. Go to the doctor. Does she have an eating disorder or maybe she might have one and you don't know. That can be serious
Her dad knows but he’s at work right now.
@itsfeeeneyyyyy hope she gets better
@anicole3285, thank you. She says she feels better so 🤞🏼
I used to do this when I was little. When I was sick and couldn't vomit without stimulating it. It would make my tummy feel better for a bit and I could rest. My mom says I still wanted to play but would by wiped out. I also would ask for odd things but it was literally all that sounded good at the time.
This is also true. Thank you for this point of view
How old is she? I used to do around about the same things and it didn't make sense to me my belly would hurt like hell I'd puke and be fine for a while...i went to doc after doc that said i was fine as I got older it came in spells then 10 years ago I had a bad spell and couldn't eat for 5 days ended up in the hospital they said it was ibs and gurds now im 26 and and looking back i was having flare-up caused by the combo of gurds ibs and gastroparesis.
That’s a good point. She’s 7. I’ll make sure to have her dad keep an eye out too. I don’t want anything to be wrong ya know?
This was my first thought also. It was from what I was eating though. Not IBS or anything.
Oh no.
Honestly, I would be straight forward with her and tell her what you saw and ask why she was doing that exactly and see if her explanation makes any sense and then go from there.
So I asked her if she was making herself throw up and she said no. I said I saw her gagging herself with her hand and she is still staying she didn’t do it. 😔
@itsfeeeneyyyyy yeah. She probably won't admit it now, since you went straight for assuming the worse, she might feel afraid to open up now. I personally would have said I seen you putting your fingers down your throat, is something wrong? Are you okay? Is there anything you wanna talk about? Kind of manner. Kids tend to close up when they feel they will get in trouble. I would continue to keep a close eye on her, maybe accompany her to the bathroom every time she goes to throw up. If she is forcing herself too, shes not gonna throw up naturally.
@the_rural_queen, I get what you mean. The question I asked was “I saw you with your hand in your mouth are you trying to make yourself throw up? Are you having some bad feelings?” And she said no I’m ok just sick to my stomach. So I replied hun I saw you with your hand in your mouth and I just want to make sure you’re alright because that’s not good to do. She said said no I’m fine just sick to my stomach. I told her she won’t be in trouble or anything and she’s been great for me otherwise. I hope she feels comfortable opening up to me eventually though. I feel bad.
Hmmm, does her mother have a history of doing that?
Not that I know of. Her dad is at work but I’ve been keeping him updated so he’s aware.
