young girl with abdominal pains and nausea - what could this be?

[Guest guest]

From a Friend:

My 9 yr old daughter has been suffering from occasional abdominal pains and

nausea for 2 months now. We are doing all the tests to exclude bacterial

infections, gluten allergy and normal hormonal development

The symptoms are not desperate but recurrent: abdominal pain around the navel

area (whether she's eaten or not) usually accompanied by nausea.

 

This group is always so helpful. This friend has had her daughter tested as

indicated. Any suggestions as to where she should look, the possibilities of

what is wrong?

Last year another friend had a constant sore throat and someone on this list

accurately suggested an ENT as it might be acid reflux...and this was exactly

what the problem was. So, I am coming to this group again for another such

suggestion...gratefully, Lynn

Sometimes these can be the symptoms of a special kind of migraine that some

children get that initiates from the gastrointestinal tract. They don't get the

normal " headache " symptoms that we think of with migraines. If no other source

for the symptoms is found, you may want to seek a consult with a Pediatric

Neurologist.
