dear baby,you should consul gastroentrologist first,possibilitis, could be,look like may have IBS with constipation dominant, provided you should ruled out from parasitic infection& amoebic colitis.no chance of acute gastritis prevailing not more than week at this age, pain makes you worried about your problem&vicaversa.be relaxed,keep informing me after investigations like stool examination&other tests advised by your dr.
