Hello, I have a six year old son who has constant bouts of loose stools. I have taken him to the Dr. and all of his tests come back normal. I m getting increasingly worried however because the pain is getting worse. It happens almost daily. He complains of severe pain around his navel and sometimes cries or balls up on the floor. He goes to the bathroom once or twice and then he is hungry. Usually after he eats, the pain goes away. Sometimes, he has an explosive movement or two and then the pain subsides. I researched round worms and he definately has some of the symptoms. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your child have symptoms of loose stools and abdominal pain. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like food poisoning, gastroenteritis, food allergies, lactose intolerance, irritable bowel syn Chat Doctor.  Need not worry. I would suggest you to avoid taking dairy product, food like broccoli, take antacid after every meal or eat light and non-spicy. Consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order stool test along with ultrasound and take history. Doctor may prescribe omeprazole, ornidazole and anti-inflammatory. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
