What Causes Pain In Belly Button?

Hi. My son who is almost three has been complaining of belly button and bum pain for sometime. He has been to the doctor they can t find anything wrong. His diet is not that great. He is a very picky eater. He does like chocolate chip muffins though. Lol. I called the doc again on Monday about the bum pain. Waiting for a reply. I am just scared because your mind starts thinking of other things like cancer. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I feel like he complains right after he eats or drinks something.

Hi,

I have gone through the medical history of your grandson and understood his concerns.

From what you are describing, the complaints right after he eats or drinks something is indicative for possible problems related to his GI tract including:
- bowel infection: culture of stool and examination of stool for ova/parasites are advised
- food intolerance
- gastritis/acid reflux: upper endoscopy to be considered.

I advise to schedule an appointment with gastroenterologist pediatrician for further evaluations.

All the best!
