I am so sorry! Poor little boy! I have a 7 month old, so my heart goes out to you. I don't have very much advice, but was wondering if you are seeing a pediatrician and what he/she says about it? He or she should refer you to a peds gastro doctor. I would do a search if I were you on the internet and look for pediatric gastroenterologists in your area. Maybe a regular gastro doctor can help. Hang in there. As far as symptoms, I would also do a search and type in gallstones. Best of luck and I hope he feels better soon!
