What Causes Severe Bdominal Pain In Children?

My 10 year old son has been having abdominal pain around his belly for four days. It comes and goes away. It started on friday evening with lots of salivations. Some days before he had had hiccups. He s not been eating much. No fever, had his poo regularly but said it was a little bit hard. He says if he presses the belly it hurts around there, but when he has sudden acute pain the pain is higher. He doesn t eat any junk food, i bake our own bread and pizza with organic flour. He drinks centrifugated carrot juice before its meals. At breakfast he drinks orange juice and lemon, than after half an hour he has barley coffe with honey, at school he takes my pizza or my pastries. At lunch he usually has salad and some pasta with virgin alive oil and basil or some other simple home made sauce, like grounded wholenuts, organic whole rice with veggies. Two snacks in the afternoon usually a fruit than some bread and oil. For dinner after carrot and salad he heats boiled veggies, seldom some beans or chick peas. His problem have been worsening during the weekend: sometimes as soon as he starts eating the pain begins and he has to stop. On a scale 1 to 10 when his pain is severe he says it s about 8, noe it s about 1 to 3. There have been lapses of time when he hasn t had any pain, then out of the blue the ache restarts, in boutas. He keeps burping a lot. Is it possible to have any idea of what it is. (Our family doctor is away at tne moment)
