Hi,I am Dr. Radhakrishna (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Persistent Abdominal Pain, Worse After Eating?
Good evening, I am the parent of a 14 year old girl. She started experiencing upper abdominal pain on March 28th. She complained with the pain constantly and them would be worse after eating. We have had upper GI, stomach empting scan, ultrasound, and xrays, all with no signs of something abnormal. She has been on prescription Prilosec and Erthymocin for the 2 months with no relief. If she does not take the erthymocin at least 30 minutes before she eats, the pain is worse. Her GI has pretty much given up and says there is nothing medically wrong with her and they want to explore anxiety. But I know as a parent that, that is not he problem. Can you please let me know what your thoughts are? Thanks
HI Thank for asking to HCM I really appreciate your concern for your daughter and from the history given here I would like to say that if nothing turned positive in investigation then antibiotic should be discontinue, otherwise the condition would be more difficult, assure the kid that she is has got nothing in her abdomen, if still the symptoms persist then consult the psychiatrist, have a nice day.
