my 8 yr old little girl My now 8yr old little girl, Emily, who was 7yrs old at onset of symptoms suffers from unexplained weight gain and stomach pain. I have taken her to her pediatrician who cannot give me reason for any of this. Emily weighed 62lbs in October of 2011. In December of 2011 she had her tonsils and adenoids removed, still weighing 62 lbs. Emily was out of school for one week per Drs. orders following the surgery. Emily went back to school and ended up with strep throat due to an apparent outbreak of scarlet fever at her school. She was then back out of school for approximately one more week because of this. Emily still maintained her weight of 62lbs through all of this. She had no complaints of stomach pain and had not lost or gained any weight. then one day right after being back at school after Christmas break I was in shock when I looked at her and she looked completely bloated and her stomach was hard. I waited about 2days before I took her to the Dr. figuring she simply needed to go poop. I gave her some apple juice and a light diet filled with some extra fruits and vegetables. Which she normally ate anyways, she loves fruits and vegetables so she was ok with the extra. She claimed no issues of using the bathroom and no pain other then get stomach being so big. so I called the Dr. she went in and to my surprise Emily gained ten pounds in less then a week. The issue has been on going and Emily has gained 30lbs since January of this year. Emily is active eats healthy and uses the bathroom regularly. She has had all kinds of blood work done, test on her phecies and a CT Scan all showing nothing significant. The only thing that came up in her blood work was a possible exposure to a bug from another country( we have never left Michigan) And when the phecies was cultured it showed nothing abnormal. The CT Scan showed she has Messentric Addenitis, which as her pediatrician stated should not last more than about 7 weeks. As previously stated Emily has had these issues since January of 2012. Emily has been taken off of all products made with any milk as it seemed to bloat her stomach more. Emily was allergy tested to ensure its not from any allergies. The only food allergy she was slightly positive for was eggs which she is no longer getting any product made with eggs now. Emy has also been tested for crossed and ibs to which she does not have either of. Emily still has stomach pain is not losing weight and will be weighed this weekend in hopes of her at least not gaining any more weight. I am at a loss on how to help her and make her belly feel better and her Dr. does not seem to have any answers either. Pease help. Is there something I could or should be doing or is there something someone is missing here.
Mesenteric amenities are normal in ultrasound and ct scan mam. The significance is when associated with other lymph nodes and weight loss.diet control with good daily walk and exercise will be the best treatment and don't bother about amenities
