What Causes Severe Abdominal Pain When Intolerant To Nuts And Eggs?

Hello, We live in Washington, DC. Our 4 year old son is experiencing severe abdominal pain...it has gradually gotten worse over the past week or so. At first, just a couple of short bouts per day, up to 20 minutes of increasing pain that made us first call 911 and then decide we could get him to the hospital faster. We gave him benedryl, peptmo bismol (spelling--sorry!), tea, ginger ale, a warm bath, etc. He was tested a couple of days ago, positive for nuts and eggs. He and his 7 year old brother had pretty bad allergies early in life--not epi-pen level (although they had one for precautionary measures)--but bad enough where they couldn t eat eggs, nuts, drink cow s milk, etc. What in the world could be wrong? My husband has him at the hospital right now and I m so afraid they re going to release him without letting us know what s wrong. Thank you!

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

As per my clinical experience, your pal is having GI intolerance to certain food stuffs due to his inherited defect of metabolism, development of auto antibodies to certain antigens in form of food or liquid particles or others. It is the responsibility of hospital authorities to:
- Explain the diagnosis of child to parents (as age of son is 4 years and he is dependent upon you)
- Explain and discuss the possible treatment options
- Discuss the prognosis of the condition
- Care to be taken at home so far as medications avoidance of triggers are concerned

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

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
