Stomach Cramps Only at Night

I have a 5 year old Daughter who is only having Stomach Cramps at night. She consistently wakes up every 1-2 hrs complaining of these cramps. This only started after my 8 year old son complained of the same thing, for 3 nights straight. What is weird is that they both were fine all day long after school and even up until bed time and only started to wake them around 1-2 am and then throughout the night.

My sons only lasted for 3 days as i mentioned by my daughters is going on 2 weeks with what appears to be no end in sight. We have taken her to her pediactric doctor and he has not been able to find anything wrong with her..

Im at to the point now where i have to start thinking that this is all in her head or something seriously is wrong in which i need to either to take her to the hospital for tests or a Gastro specialist...

what the heck is going ON??????

My 4 year old is just the same at the moment.
Doubling up with panful cramps every few hours at night or if he stirs and fine during the day. We.re really worried. Doctor said it was virus and irritated glands....for weeks!
