My daughter who will be 9 in December has been up the last couple of nights with spasmodic stomach pains so made that they made her cry out and flinch when they hit. I took her to the Drs this morning as I thought maybe urine infection or rumbling appendix. Dr thought maybe onset of puberty! I am incredulous. She is as thin as a rake and showing absolutely no signs of curves or any other indication of puberty. I am working on the theory now that it is simply trapped wind caused by a food intolerance. The symptoms are similar to baby colic. She is absolutely fine during the day and this always seems to kick in around midnight and last about 1.5 hours so I think it relates to digestion. Anyone ever experienced anything similar?
