Hi DD1 has for the past 2 wks daily stomach cramps, she has mentioned them on and off since before Xmas but they would go within hrs or the next day.
The first doctor queried an appendicitis but as the pain is central it was unlikely, urine test for infection was clear.
Apart from the pain no other symptoms.
A week later went back saw a different doctor who has suggested an intolerance or IBS type issue. Is this likely to appear relatively suddenly with no change in diet.
She has a wide variety of foods for a 5yr old and is slightly on the robust side (in 7-8 yr old clothes due to both height and build).
We are keeping a food diary but don't really see any pattern, she says it's painful on and off everyday, usually more in the evening where she will have a sudden intake of breath and hold her tummy for a few seconds.
She poo's each day without it being either loose or hard.
Doctor says come back in 3 wks if not improved, so difficult to do what probably seems to her like nothing each time she tells us.
He also said to try eliminating foods but where do we start?
