If he is “picky” and only eats a limited, and very specific diet, another possibility is eosinophilic esophagitis, which can cause nausea. It is diagnosed via biopsy.

I googled mirtazapine and immediately came up with that med causing nausea but then here it is a suggested treatment: Newest Drugs for Chronic Unexplained Nausea and Vomiting - PMC

Clonidine lowers blood pressure (or maybe raises then lowers) but nausea isn’t a listed side effect and it seems he takes it later than the vomiting period in the am.

Have beta blockers been suggested vs Xanax for interviews and testing or is that contraindicated with the clonidine due to effect on bp?

My first kid vomited in the am due to ketotic hypoglycemia, which my third kid has without vomiting, Low blood sugar and high ketones. But that usually resolves by age 6. (Second kid has type 1 diabetes. Who knows what is going on with our pancreases!)

I’ll stop throwing spaghetti on the wall here. @MAmom111 you seem to have things well in hand and are doing an impressive job. These medical mysteries sometimes resolve but in the meantime you and your son are being commended in the way you are dealing with a no doubt complex situation (and you have other kids with issues too!). So yeah, hugs.
