HI TERRY & WELCOME!
IF I WERE YOU, I'D GET A SECOND OPINION. I HAD CONSTANT STOMACH PAIN AS A KID (STILL DO) AND IT WAS CALLED MANY THINGS BY MANY DOCS WHO WERE ALL WRONG. I NOW KNOW IT'S A RESULT OF MY AUTO-IMMUNE DISEASE. EVERY GUT MALADY REQUIRES A DIFFERENT TREATMENT & IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO GET THE APPROPRAITE TREATMENT. I HAVE HAD SO MANY DOCTORS PLAY THE COP-OUT GAME THAT I FIND YOU NEED TO GET PRETTY AGGRESSIVE TO GET ANSWERS. HAVING A COMPLETE PHYSICAL, A HISTORY, IMMUNE FUNCTION TESTS, ALLERGY TESTS, AND LOOKING FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF BACTERIA IN THE GUT CAN HELP TO INDICATE JUST WHAT'S GOING ON.
HE COULD HAVE ULCERS, IBS, COLITIS, STRESS, A ZILLION OTHER THINGS. WHEN A DOC PUTS A VAGUE TITLE ON ANYTHING WITHOUT DIGGING, I GET HISSED OFF & DEMAND THAT SOME DIGGIN' GETS DONE. I'M NOT A PUSHY PERSON, I GOT EDUCATED AFTER YEARS OF GOING TO DOCS WITH NO RESULTS AND SUFFERING THE ENTIRE TIME AS WE TRAVELED ALL OVER FOR HELP. IF ONLY WE'D HAVE HAD PC'S BACK THEN! ARM YOURSELF WITH AS MUCH INFO AS YOU CAN DIG UP ON YOUR OWN & BE PREPARED FOR A BATTLE, BUT YOU CAN WIN IT.
I SURELY HOPE YOU GET SOME REAL ANSWERS! NO KID SHOULD HAFTA HURT LIKE THAT!
HUGS & PRAYERS
