Girl's severe vomiting dismissed for months

Seven-year-old Harper Williams experienced severe vomiting, peaking at 60-100 times daily for seven months, with her parents Kat and Laura Williams feeling consistently dismissed by medical professionals. Their persistent efforts led to scans after Christmas, potentially identifying a cause that they believe should have been recognized sooner.

Initially experiencing sickness every few weeks starting in the summer of 2025, Harper's condition worsened significantly by November. Despite numerous A&E visits and consultations, the family reported being sent away without a diagnosis. The health board acknowledged the ordeal but stated Harper's care was appropriate, noting a review appointment has been made.

Happr, currently unable to attend school, continues to experience daily vomiting. Her parents are sharing their story to encourage others to advocate for their health, emphasizing the importance of not accepting "no" when suspecting something is wrong. Harper has since been diagnosed with H.pylori and an issue with a valve between her stomach and esophagus.
