This has been going on a year.
Worse at night and in morning.
Had blood tests to rule of coeliac.
Showed slightly raised eosophiles.
Has dust mite allergy.
Was on Gaviscon 3 times a day, every day and doing OK, so stopped under Paed advice to see how he got on, with advice to give it only if he said he had pain.
Last week collapsed with severe tummy pain. No warning at all so had not given Gaviscon - in fact he was running around playing, then fainted in dinner hall. School called amublance, they took him in as he had high temp and low blood pressure. Hospital discharged as by the time he was examined (3 hours after collapse) pain had resolved after some Calpol, that the hospital administered.
Told to give Ranatidine for 3 weeks to stop stomach acid and see how he does. He has complained of pain every day and night. Not agony, but pain.
Seeing GP again this afternoon.
If one more person tells me 'kids get tummy ache', 'is there something troubling him at school' or 'he seems easily distracted from it', I will lose my mind.
Anyone with ideas, experience, advice? What should I do next. This is causing so much disruption to our lives, to his school work, to his sleep, his overall health.
I am literally at the end of my tether over this now.
