Need advise about child's stomach problm

My 9 year old daughter is having bad stomach problems in the mornings. She wakes up with a little stomach pain and after she uses the bathroom (close to diarrhea each time) her stomach hurts really bad. It lasts for a couple hours and gradually goes away until she feels completely normal the rest of the day. She won't eat in the mornings, which is totally unlike her, but has a good appetite the rest of the day. This is happeneing EVERY morning! She had some tummy troubles last year which were treated with Prevacid and they went away. We started up the Prevacid again but it's not working this time. She also had problems as a baby with severe acid reflux becuase the valve at the top of her stomach was not there. She was treated with Propulsid and Zantac until she was one years old and then she grew out of it and was fine. This new stomach thing has really upset us both. She is in a lot of pain every morning. She did have a CAT scan at the hospital a couple weeks ago which showed up nothing. They tested her for H. pylori and that came back negative. Any ideas out there? I am up to listening to anything right now...

Glad you found us, but am sorry that your daughter is having tummy pain. Because she is a child, I hesitate to suggest anything more than seeing her pediatrician asap. Since she has a history of digestive problems, there might be something else they need to be looking into, but only her doctors have access to all of her medical files.


Did the new issue start before or after school started? Might there be some connection....stress about school, a bully, etc.?


Please visit anytime and let us know what is determined, OK?

You might want to go back and edit your post to remove your email address. If you want others to have access to it, they can get it through your profile, if you fill it out.


Spammers look for email addresses and having it right out like this is how they harvest them.
