10 yr old daughter, has c/o vague LLQ abd pain on/off for a few months. Pediatrician previously evaluated and did ABD flat plate. Showed colon with stool. Today c/o LLQ pain with tears. Reported bm X3 mushy yesterday. Pediatrician eval and recommended to start Metamucil daily. Gave her 4-6 oz, then approx 4 hrs after she had brown, soft bm with thick red gel like substance noted. Went to Dr ofc with stool in container and the Hemoccult slides he had given me. All tested negative for OB, Including the red gel like substance. Being sent out for lab culturing. Still c/o vague abd ache. Thoughts???
