Suggest Treatment For Persisting Abdominal Pain Inspite Of Using Several Medicines

My 6 y/o daughter had been having severe abdominal pain for one year now. She screams and moan from the pain every dingle day. She had a stomach virus February 2012 and again in May of 2012 and has been in pain since. She has had blood test, stool test, a cat scan, upper and lower endoscopy with biopsies in November of 2012. She was tested for H pylori, crohns disease, and worms. She will be getting a gastric empty study done next week. Nothing is helping the pain. Sometimes she moans in her sleep. The pain is all day but nights are worst. She wakes up every night from the pain. Her gastro and pediatrician doesn t know what is causing the pain. She has been to the ER at least 10 times since last June. Ranatidine, dicyclomine, and another med hasn t worked. Now the gastro has her on omerprazole 20 mg once a day. So far two days on meds no change. ..yet. What can be going on with my baby? How can I get the pain to stop?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Could this be an abdominal migraine. Pl check out with the neurologist. Chronic pancreatitis can be a possibility with such severe pain. How's her serum amylase and lipase! Pl get urine for porphobilinogen levels. Even acute intermittent porphyria can present as severe persistent pain abdomen. Regards
