Passing Excessive Gas, Burping Frequently, Stomach Pain, Vomiting Bouts. Due To Excessive Stress?
Hi, My 11 yr son has been farting and burping a lot, the past few days. Also, he has complained about some stomach pain and last night he vomited as well while playing basketball with friends. In addition, he has been under a lot of stress in school and home this past week. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hello
Welcome to HCM
Pain, excessive gas, bloating, burping, cramps or vomiting may occur in severe stress and anxiety. But in a child of 11 year old anxiety don't usually present with bowel symptoms. I would like to advise you first take him to a Physician and get proper stool examination done to rule out any infection. Stress may be a predisposing factor but it is definitely not a cause in 11 year old child.
thanks
