Daily tummy pain since September

[dancinginthedark123]

I’ve posted about this before but I’m getting worried now ☹️
DD8 had a diahhrea bug at end of August with tummy pains. After 2 weeks the diahhrea finally subsided but the tummy pains didn’t. Every day she complains it hurts, often multiple times a day. It’s genuine pain-she bends over and goes pale when it hurts.
its always around her tummy button or just above it. She’s had bloods/ coeliac screen / uti test done and all perfect. No obvious cause. GP seems to think it will pass on its own and to keep up with paracetomal / ibuprofen but I’m aware I’ve been giving her this since September and that doesn’t feel right. She’s also had slight weight loss and is urinating more frequently.
at first I thought it was anxiety related but I now don’t as even during lovely happy times it suddenly hits her and she has to stop playing,

what next, what else can I push for? I keep waking up hoping today will be the day she doesn’t have a sore tummy but that day feels far away and it’s taking it’s toll on her and on me as I’m worried but keep having to put on a brave face and tell her it will pass☹️

Do you know if the stool test included a calprotectin (I think that’s spelt right) and C. difficile? The latter can cause diarrhoea and then stomach pain after for a while. I hope she feels better soon, my son had similar and they tested for all sorts it was a worrying time.

That’s really interesting I didn’t know this.

They have tested for that and seemed surprised the calprotectin was fine but it was. Not sure about C dificile. Thank you for understanding and I’m sorry you went through similar ☹️I feel like I relax and then she says it hurts mummy and I feel all anxious all over again ☹️

I'm really glad you're feeling calmer today and hope the GP gets back to you asap!
