My 10 year old son, who has diabetes, has been having severe upper abdominal pain and vomiting for a week. He vomits yellow bile and this temporarily relieves pain, but It always returns. This happens periodically, and the pediatrician always calls it a stomach virus and says to give him Coca-Cola. He’s been back to the doctor twice this week with no tests or prescriptions. Could this be something more than a stomach virus? Is it time to move on to an endocrinologist?
