What May Be The Cause Of Abdominal Pain, Excessive Gas, Nausea And Vomiting?

My son has been experiencing abdominal pain, cramping, excessive gas, nausea and vomiting. He has lost weight and is not eating very well. I have had blood work done, but today when I was doing the stool culture, I noticed long hairs in his stool. Is this normal?

HI. This is not at all normal.
It is possible that he has a psychiatric problem wherein he may be taking hair = a condition usually seen only in females.
Get his USG, Endoscopy, Barium meal tests done to find the cause and get a treatment accordingly.
