My DD has been suffering daily stomach pains for months now. They are especially painful after eating, for about an hour. The first gp we saw thought it was constipation and the second thought it was ibs. She is now having fybogel and lactulose twice a day. Last night she had macaroni cheese, yoghurt and lactulose and was in agony crying for about 90 minutes. She also has other health problems associated with a brain disorder she was born with including being overweight, premature puberty and recently had a blood test which indicated an underactive thyroid although they want to retest in a few months. She is 12 years old. It's definitely not appendix as she had that removed last year.
She doesn't have any diarrhoea or vomiting with the pains, if anything she is constipated. But she has only ever actually vomited once in her life when she had the gangrenous appendix. Any ideas? We had a paediatric appointment in 2 weeks but that is for something else (bedwetting). Thanks for any help.
