What Causes Intermittent Pain In The Abdomen In A 13 Month Old?

my 13 month old son has been having abdominal pain that is intermitten and very intense (almost like labour pain) it last anywhere from 3-15 minutes and is 1-15 minutes apart (can be couple hours or days apart. It s has been going on for almost 9 weeks now, we have been to family doctor, peditrition and the emergency department about 11 times now, ultrasound, x rays, blood work, stool samples and urine samples. Nothing helpful according to doctors we have been told that he is constipated, but his bowel movements had the hardest where the texture of peanut butter, but usually when he goes a couple days without pain he has watery(no solids) bm or mucus and string/jelly like bm. he has had white bm more than one occasion, has also had vomiting with the pain occasionally. we have also been told that his spleen is on the large side of normal. his pediatrition suspects intucception, but we have no evidence of that yet (the ultrasound was only 5 minutes long?? long enough??) Don t know what to do?? pediatric gastroenterologist?? Please help!!!
