Could this be u?
Well i was gonna comment on sals "back to drs" blog but my comment would've been more like a blog so i figured i might as well blog. Anywho, what i wanted to say was that i know now what u mean by ur stomach hurting no matter what u eat or what time of day it is. My son is experiencing the same thing and has been since about mid nov but thought it was his way of getting out of school. Unfortunatly it wasnt a lie cuz when i took him to the dr 3 weeks ago they found something. Well actually the regular pediatrician ran tests and nothing came up but he referred me to a gi specialist just to make sure. Then she met w/us, ran more tests and x-rays and found a couple of things. One, she said, we naturally have gases floating in the stomach area but the x-ray showed David (my kiddo) didnt. Then the next thing was that he tested positive for a stomach bacteria. Now that she's done all that she wants to get a better pic of his stomach so a CT scan was ordered and (the one thing i didnt want him going thru) an indonoscopy (not sure if spelled correct). For those of u not familiar w/that procedure, it means going down ur throat w/a camera to see the inside of ur stomach and scrapping samples of stomach tissue for testing purposes. I wish i could tell u what happens if u do have the stomach bacteria or what happens if u dont have those gases but dummy me failed to ask those questions and now im wondering all kinds of things, like will he have to be on meds for the rest of his life, or will he have the stomach issues all the time. What upsets me most is that im real good about not leaving the drs office until ive asked any and all questions but i messed up this time. I just thought i'd tell u whats going on over here so that maybe u could mention those possibilites to ur doc and see what he tells u. Well better get back to work. Also wanted to say that whoever reads this and has faith in prayer just to keep my kiddo in mind.
