Abdo pain

Hi,

My 6 year old often complains of abdo pain and not feeling well. We cannot link it to anything other than it usually happens around bedtime.

We initially thought it was just stalling because it's bed time but it has been going on for a while. GP doesn't seem interested.

They have asthma which has been worse over last few days due to the weather/pollen which I am thinking is worsening the symptoms. Anyone had similar?

We've been dealing with this for 4 years. He is 15 now and still gets abdominal pain/cramps and loose stools often. GP ignores us, says he has been checked by a specialist already, all tests were good so there is nothing else to do. They always happen around the same time as well.
I mentioned this to y family doctor as I was desperate and she said it looks like a psychosomatic disorder caused by anxiety and stress.
I have digestive issues and I am very allergic to pollen. You can have cross allergies with food as well. I'm allergic to birch and I can't eat apples, tomatoes, etc... as they hurt me. Maybe she has cross allergies too?
