Just can't catch a break!

My poor kid had the stomach flu starting the day before Christmas, that lasted about a week and a half. Then he was well for about a week before he caught a cold that turned into croup. Hes had croup 4x now and he's only 21mos. He's been to the hospital 3x and the dr 5x in the past 30 days. Excessive right?

Yesterday he had diarrhea but I thought it was because he ate a bunch of blueberries the day before. It wasn't, he threw up around 3am this morning and now he can't keep anything down.

He's had reflux since birth but this throwing up is different and he's on a special diet to help with weight gain but with being sick he's lost weight. All the tests they've done have come back normal (celiac, kidney, liver).

This just doesn't seem normal and I'm worried there's something wrong. I have 2 older kids who have never been sick like he has. Does anyone else have a child that's constantly sick? Any suggestions on what could be causing it?

Sounds like my son. Have they taken a look at his immune and or allergy levels. That's been the biggest cause of his stuff.

If that was positive that can be a lot of it- or other allergens

It's was for celiac and it was negative. I think I need to get a referral to a specialist to try to figure out what's going on

You may need several.
We see a GI
A
Pulmonologist
An Ent
And an allergist.

We have yet to have a definitive answer but know that the allergies have been the cause if most our trouble.

We already see a GI for the GERD but I'll ask his ped for a referral to the others. Thank you  

Oh man! Have they found anything at all (allergies ect)?

Oh yeah.

Allergies:
Milk- just causes runny nose and such
Wheat- outgrew it
Peanut- recently out grew it
Most pollens- ( fell in a rose bush and ended up in a huge asthma attack)
Dogs
Cats
Tree nut
And a medicine- the Iv form of prednisone/prednisolone
He gets an allergy shot weekly but recently had a reaction to it

He has GERD and esophagitis ( confirmed after 2 endoscopes and a different test)

Sleep apnea- ( had his tonsils and adenoids taken out- we still have problems)

Bad asthma

Terrible immune system

Also has bad episodes if croup ( the non viral kind) that cause his throat to close shut( nearly lost him twice)

Oh the list goes on
