What Causes Stomach Ache?
My 7 Year old Daughter complains of a stomach ache everyday, sometimes 3 x a day. She cries and holds her stomach and says it s cramping. This has been going on for over 1 year. She is under the care of a ped s gastro doc. We have done an xray which shows impaction so she has been on stool softeners for 1 year (miralax) and she still has pain. We have had blood work for celiacs, parasites, h pylori, inflammation marker, food allergies, and stool samples for blood-ALL IS NEGATIVE EXCEPT, she has a high white blood cell count in the stool. I don t know what to do. Her pain is usually first thing in the morning...then lingers all day. I too have terrible gi issues, I m allergic to several foods and have IBS. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hello,
There can be several causes for stomach ache.
For further assessment I would suggest you to consult with gastroenterologist for detailed clinical examination.
He may procure complete hemogram, ultrasound abdomen or computed tomography abdomen as per evaluation.
Till then you can take tablet acetaminophen and antacids.
Avoid hot and spicy foods. Keep your self hydrated.
Hope I have answered your query..
Let me know if I can assist you further.
