So I have dd2 home from school with tummy ache again. She is 8 now and has been having tummy aches periodically from age 5. At the time she saw a consultant who said she was 'sensitive to the peristalsis of the bowel', but didn't give her anything. It comes and goes but has been bothering her a lot for the last say 5/6 months. It is just around her navel btw and this morning she said it hurt a bit higher up on the left as well, like something being pulled, but that bit has gone now apparently. She also gets very windy and sometimes when she burps she gets sick in her throat.
She has also had a couple of bouts of mesenteric adenitis (or that is what has been suggested anyway). She has never had any tests for anything.
She also gets a lot of headaches.
Am wondering if I should take her back to docs but they usually make me feel I am being an over-anxious mother.
Has anyone's dc experienced anything like this? Googling is doing me no good whatsoever of course! TIA
