What Causes Persistent Pain In Abdomen Of A 4 Year Old?

My 4 year old often complains that her stomach hurts. She says she feels like she is going to throw up. This can happen several times a day. Our doctor did a scan, about a month ago, on her colon and there was no back up. She is often very gassy, I give her tums and it helps for awhile. I feel bad for her. Please help!

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello,

I just read through your question. There are several potential causes for these symptoms in pediatrics. For example, lactose deficiency, celiac. I recommend consulting with a pediatric gastroenterologist. Then the exact cause can be determined and the appropriate treatment plan implemented.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Eric Goldstein
