Stomach ache and constipation
by Mary-L, Oct 22, 1998 12:00AM
My 12 year old has been suffering from stomache aches for the past year. At first she was diagnosed with constipation and after taking mineral oil and lactulose the pain disappeared. However, during the last several months she has stomache pain every day and night. She is definately not constipated and goes every day.
She has had ultrasounds, and a scope test done--all come back negative. She has been on zantac, losec and levsin-- all have done nothing to remove the pain. The pain is getting worse to the point she is nauseated.
The doctor's think that it may be psychological, but she is not under any undue stress, and we are presently pursuing this possibility.
Can someone please give me some advice; my child is in so much pain and no one seems to be able to help.
PLEASE HELP!

dear mary,
the GI Forum no longer has the services of a pediatric gastroenterologist. Your question should be reposted to the Maternal-Child forum for a response.
