Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of bowel problems. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like irritable bowel syndrome , gastroenteritis, lactose intolerance, medication reaction or side-effect, food poisoning or viral gastroenteritis and mainly due to lack of fibres in diet leading to constipation.. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid eating heavy and spicy , eat small and frequent meals, eat 1-2 banana in a day and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain. You should give diet to child rich in fibres. If condition doesn't get well then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order certain tests like endoscopy and stool test and take history . Doctor may prescribe loperamide , ornidazole along with anti inflammatory .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
