What Does Sever Epigastritis In A 9 Year Old Mean?
Hi Dr. For some time now, my son, age 9 years has been having serious stomach pain. Took him to the hospital on several occasions, had urine and blood tested but nothing was found. The pains have persisted for a long time. I decided to take him for an abdominal scan. The followings were found in his system. Severe epigastritis. Enlarged loops of bowel in the hypogastrium filled with free fluids and gas echoes with vigorous peristalsis. Other abdominal organs appear normal. What do i do?

Hi...I have gone through the history you have provided. I feel what he is having is an - IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME. It can present in myriad ways and the most important thing that stress in any form can precipitate the symptoms. I suggest you consult a paediatric gastroenterologist and get him evaluated.
