My 14 year old daughter has sever abdominal pain for more than a year now

For the past year and a half I have had my daughter at the Dr several time and Hospital 4 times with sever abdminal pain and neausea and vomiting. Her family Dr said it was a Kidney infection, but 2 days later the results came back negative for that. One hospital thtought it was her appendix and was preparing for surgery but when the CT scan came back good they said she was constipated and sent her home twice. This last week I took her to a diffrent hospital and they thought it was her Gallbladder. The ER DR was certian that is what it was, blood work came back normal, CT scan normal he still thought it may be but no surgen will touch her with out something to back up his claims. They again said she is constipated and sent her home. She is still having the pain and she has been going to the bathroom fine.I have heard about a CCK hida scan I think you have to be seen by a Gastrointolist to get that ordered by i dont know. What do you guys think about it? there is nothing worse than seeing your child in pain and you cant help.

make an appointment to a gastroentorologist. EGD and colonoscopy would be as iris had pointed out would be  preferred since a ct had seen nothing peculiar from the outside.HIDA scan with cck injection can be evaluated. how was her bowel movement? a gastric emptying scan can also be done to rule out gastropareses. small bowel study can also be suggested.

Have they done a colonoscopy or EGD on her, she could have something like Chrohn's or Diverticulitis or a polyp that is bothering her.
