Hello. I'm not a medical professional, just the parent of a kid with diabetes. Has he had any problems with bowel movements or constipation? There is something called celiac disease, which it doesn't sound likely that he has, but it's a possibility. A blood test can check for that. It could also be just the high scores that are causing the stomach pains. I'd doubleDouble-tussin dm the corrections you're giving him until his scores start to come down. Verify with your doctors as well that you're doing the right thing by increasing corrections.
