He has been complaining of his stomach hurting and feeling sick he has always been good to eat well balanced diet he complains of yucky burps and has frequent bathroom stops for both urinating and bowels. He says he is thirsty all the time and drinks frequently through the day and before sleep several times. Should I be concerned of diabetes; type 2 runs in family.

hi, welcome to this forum. Can understand your concerns.
* Symptoms of stomach pain and burps suggest that most probably your child has stomach infection like acute gastroenteritis, acute gastritis or stomach upset.
* In type 2 Diabetes mellitus, there are symptoms like increase in thirst, increased urination, increased appetite. Since there is history of type 2 diabetes in family, I suggest you to get blood sugar levels in child.
* Pain abdomen and increased frequency of urination does not seems to be related to each other. You should also do urine routine microscopy and culture test so that if any infection is causing pain abdomen or increased urination then it can be ruled out.
* Prebiotic like enterogermina ampule should be given once a day for 3 days to increase intestinal immunity.
* An examination by doctor should be done so that we may not miss any important finding point.
* Review back with above reports.
I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
