****! Thats'a all I can say...

Some suggestions - take them or leave them:
Have they tried putting him on an acid-reducer (like Pepcid) alone?
That would be one thing I would do. Pred is anti-inflammatory and
generally just makes you feel better all over (and eat!) so I suspect
he is inflamed someplace in the GI tract. "But why?" is the question.

I would also see if he will eat cooked meats (chicken, turkey) that you
prepare - pure protein. They are bland and easy on the GI tract. If
so, juts feed him that for awhile.

Also, vomiting can be a sign of heart congestion - I am assuming they
have checked that out though.

The endoscopy isn't that invasive - they will knock him out and scope
him. I doubt you are going to see anything, but it's certainly worth a
try.

Keep us posted - I was worried that he was having trouble.
