chronic abdominal pain child
My son has chronic abdominal pain. He’s been in the hospital and to the doctor several times. Any answers?
We do know that he doesn’t have crohns disease. the Dr. says it’s GERD. I don’t believe this. I have GERD. and the symptoms aren’t the same. Has doesn;t have acid choking him to death. It is chronic pain in his stomach. And only in his stomach.I hope someone can enlighten me so I can get him some real help. It’s hard to see a 9 year old child having these kinds of pains.
He has ADHD. He doesn’t take medicine because he had so many side effects. he has some problems in school. But it’s with reading and writing. As far as it goes with home. he has it made. It’s not gastritis. I don’t know which wat to turn
It’s not Crohn’s. His markers came back negative. When I take him back to the doctor I’ll ask his to test him for the Diverticulitis. This is more common in people over 60. But it’s worth a try to have it done.
It can be a nervous cause. I suffered from chronic stomach pains for many years (since I was 8-9) and no doctor could diagnose anything for sure. It was untill I went to psico-therapy that the pains sarted to reduce, We tend to internalize many of our external problems into our body and many times its the body which starts asking for help in the way of pain and illness. And yes, 9 year olds can have problems too. Is everything ok in the family, at his school?
