Lets see.  He is 29 months old.  He weighs 30 pounds (sometimes goes down a pound or two, depending on if he eats or not), he is tall for his age.  He is in 3T pants for the length, but the waste is way to big.

He actually has not vomitted in 2 weeks now.  For about a week straight, he was getting sick almost every night.  It would be brought on by laughing to much, crying, or just all of a sudden. 

This past week he actually has been making himself gag and seems like he is trying to throw up. 

He has very large tonsils and year round allergies.

He has always been a very small eater, since he was a baby.  We have been to the feeding clinic, everything.  He was on rice milk and a very strict soy/dairy free diet until 18 months old.  Now he handles milk just fine. 

Even if he does not drink pediasure, he will still only take a few bites of his food and be all done.

You know though I am not a big eater at all.  I eat very very small amounts at a time, but a lot through out the day. 

Tonight Zach and I shared a kids meal and did not finish it.  It was 5 chicken nuggets and french fries. 

With that being said, I am hungry right now though.  LOL...

My stomach cannot handle a lot of food at once or I just throw it up.  I think I have DGE, so who knows he may too.
