HELP!!
One of my twin daughters started primary school in September and we have had CONSTANT tummy pains.
Unfortunately she has a metobolic condition which requires her to eat, however, in the mornings or when she comes home, she tells me her tummy hurts and points to her bowel, and says tummy won't let her eat, and then goes without food!
If I push her, she says she feels sick and runs to the toilet and hangs over it. It is hit and miss as to if she actually vomits.Sometimes she complains the pain is so bad, it actually makes her feel sick initially so she doesn't want to eat.
I have had her up St Thomas's as they were concerned about her not eating. They xray'ed her and there was no blockages.
She isn't constipated at all. Really, the oppposite, no hard stools at all.
The other morning she woke up and sat on the loo for a poo, and literally cried with the pain as she past, however, it was soft and nothing to write home about.
This morning she said she felt tired and had tummy pains but this seems to be all the time, regardless of what day school or weekend.
I am trying to play it down, as I was giving her calpol but she was still complaining of pain??? I stopped the meds for a while as I thought if it was something it would come to a head and then they would have to review her properly in A&E. But apart from her other morning episode, it has been moderate pain.
I have explained to her that mummy believes her cos she doesn't feel the doctor does, as when I took her to the doctors they examined her and said it all felt fine. They also sent off a urine test which came back clear!!!
I am tearing my hairout!!
Who else has gone through this??? How did you deal with it? What tests did you insist on????
I hate seeing my honey a) in pain b) not eating and c)having nausea.
I did ask the doctor to refer her privately to someone who could help but because she is under St Tommies for her metobolic condition, they are insisting we are refered back there, so I am at a dead end!!!
ARRRHHHHHH!!
