Tummy ache but only at night

Dd2 (8), recently keeps complaining of tummy ache of a night, she said it starts as son as she gets into bed.

My first thought was worms as I know people on here have said that it causes tummy ache and is worse of a night, but she isn't complaining of an itchy or sore bottom at all.

Is there anything else it could be ?

Hey, my ds has been complaining of severe stomach ache during the night, he has an itchy stomach and cries soo much. recently he went for an allergy test and was positive for a wheat allergy, I explained his symptoms and was advised to cut out wheat products after 3pm because it sounds like an intolerance to wheat and the result is amazing! it has made a real difference, he doesn't cry at night!! Was told not to cut it out completely as he has a nut and egg allergy also but it has made a huge difference

I was coming on to suggest wheat allergy or possibly even celiac disease too, this can also affect them mentally so keeping her off wheat might make a world if difference

My DD (9) is the same, but she has stomach migraines so really hard to get her to say if the pain at night is any different to the pain she can get during the day.

She has complained of her pjs/sheet rubbing her skin recently so am wondering if allergy the cause...

She also suffers from headache clusters but drinking lots of water/getting plenty of rest seems to be keeping that under control usually (although not recently)...
