I have a 16 year old boy who has sudden onset of abdominal pain low abdomen, a lot of pressure not relieved by passing flatus or having BM. He was eating yogurt and bananas to help. symptoms went away for a week and now have returned. Took him to MD 2 weeks ago, they weren t concerned about anything and just recommended BRAT diet for a few days.
