HI.
In case of small children the commonest cause of having pain in abdomen after food is Appendicitis. Another reason is inflamed and enlarged lymph nodes. This can be easily diagnosed on examination by a Pediatric Surgeon and ultrasonography. CT is best avoided in children unless you want to confirm a certain diagnosis. MRI is usually not much helpful.
