Starting January 18th this year, Connor started having stomach pain again. We have gone through this off and on for a couple years now. 2 years ago when we saw GI, they did bloodwork and fecal tests which showed nothing. At that time, we did Prevacid and Miralax along with Levsin which did give him some relief. He is now again on Prevacid and Levsin. Bloodwork was repeated with nothing found. An xray was done with nothing and we are going to do an ultrasound next week. We cannot get in to see GI until March 15th.
I must say I am a little hesitant to put him through multiple tests when in the end it is most likely something related to his diet. I tried talking to him tonight about trying dairy free and gluten free for a period of time. He was not too happy about it but I think he feels bad enough to try anything. He came home from school again today because the abdominal pain was so bad. A dear friend recommended a homeopathic doctor that I may investigate further. It is weighing heavy on me not knowing what is going on with him and watching him so uncomfortable. We had a couple days this week where he was just the old, happy Connor and the day was so much "lighter". Some may say it is something emotional, but I really think that is not the case. His teacher said everything is good at school. His friendships are still good. Jeff has been traveling a lot but that is not necessarily anything new. I do think that stress makes it worse but I don't think it is causing it. We will continue to do more research and say prayers!
