ds1 keeps getting stomach pains

the first time it happened i took him to the doc because he was tender when i pushed his tum, doc said maybe a grumbling appendix, just keep an eye on it

he was up on and off all night complaining again, and couldnt eat breakfast this morning, so i kept him off school

not sure if i should take him back to the gp again tho, when he now seems to have perked up a bit

i know to be sure i should take him, as it has happened about 3 times now, but it seems so trivial, taking him when his tummy hurts

or am i being heartless?

Where about in his tummy is it?

I would take him BUT bear in mind that if he's better now it could be stress related, DS1 gets this before school and its always amazingly better as soon as he's off.

But its still genuine- GP has dix'd stress induced pain and probably IBS, this hurts no matter what the cause.

i had to take ds2 to a paed appt, and when we were leaving there he started complaining again

now he is lying on the sofa

its lower centre/right, which makes me a bit wary

Thats intersting lula, I shall ask about them as I have migraines and DS1 has a lot of the other signs of child migraine (and the allergies to trigger too)

Hmm, I wonder!

well his glands are up, and his tonsils are mucky, but not sore,so she said it could be because he is swallowing hte gunk from the tonsils , making his tum sore, or it is the grumbling appendix, so i just have to watch him

he wants to eat atm tho so thats good, he has barely eaten today and he usually has hollow legs!
