My teenager kid is having stomach pain, mostly after eating food. This has been going on for 3-4 years and we have seen 2 different doctors. They have done stool test, endoscopy and colonoscopy. However, everything is clean and they can not find a cause or treatment. So my child keeps taking pain killer almost every day and avoid eating when she is out. Unfortunately, they do not have any idea what might be going on while obviously something is wrong.
- bigDinosaur 4y agoDoes that happen with all food? Have you tried an elimination diet? Unfortunately chronic conditions like this are an absurd amount of trial and error in many cases.
- tradertef 4y agoYes, it is not really predictable. There are certain food that is worse like pop-corn but we can not say that a certain group of foods trigger it.
- wincy 4y agoThat’s really unfortunate. I second what other people have recommended about attempting an elimination diet. I went on a ketogenic, minimal processed food diet of foods and it resolved a lot of these issues. I went back to eating like crap and the issues came back with a vengeance. My philosophy is try what the doctors say and if that doesn’t work it’s time to expand your search space. Like troubleshooting code.
- Mayzie 4y agoPlease only take painkillers continuously under the direction of your doctor. A lot of people don’t realise this, but NSAIDs like ibuprofen and other types like paracetamol / acetaminophen do negatively impact your liver and / or kidneys, especially after repeated use. Always read and adhere to the label of the medication you take.
