What Causes Stomach Churning With Lack Of Appetite In A Child?
My child is 10 yrs old, and has had stomach churning for 4 days. No signs of fever, diarrhea, loose stools, pain, tenderness, emotional stress, nor vomiting. We are in a normal routine, so no physical/emotional upsets are involved. However she does not seem to have an appetite and has been eating less. No other family member displays these symptoms. What could be the culprit?

Your concern is right. Your child seems to be suffering from subclinical infection of intestine. You may try prebiotics and probiotics available OTC.
If the child develops any Frank symptoms then seek medical advice. This shall help the child mostly.
