Suggest Remedy For Pain In Abdomen Every Time After Eating
My 5 year old daughter has been complaining of her belly hurting every time she eats and even when she doesn t eat for the last 2 months. Dr wants a journal of everything she eats when she says it hurts. But she says it hurts with everything. No pattern. Please help I m worried. Thanks
Thanks for posting your query at HealthCareMagic. I am sorry that your daughter is not doing well. If I could examine her, I would have tried to find out the location of the tenderness in her abdomen. It is hard to comment without knowing the exact location. If it is located just below the sternum/chestbone or around the navel, it could be due to gastritis. In that case I would have suggested her to eat small but frequent meals and not to keep the stomach empty. There could be other causes but it is hard to comment without examining.
I could suggest you to exclude milk based (except for curd/yogurt) and wheat based products from her diet and see if it helps. If it does not help, the journal should help. No use getting worried at the moment.
With such little details it is difficult to resolve your situation. Feel free to revert back in case of further queries if any or with further details.
