What Causes Stomach Pain At Night Before Going To Bed?
My 7 year old complains about his stomach hurting most every night before bed - yet it doesn't hurt at all throughout the day? Once he goes to sleep, he sleeps through the entire night, every night? Is there something that would cause his stomach to hurt typically at that time of day?

HI...I have gone through the history points you have provided. I am putting forth certain possibilities -
1. Worm infestation - typically it occurs like this and moreover there can be teeth grinding at night and the kid will lose appetite too.
2. He might have some hidden fears in sleeping alone and hence trying to avoid the situation by telling about stomach pain.
3. But I can tell you certainly once thing - a stomach which is not bothering him at night is not something serious or pathological. Do not worry.
