My daughter is actually 6yrs old.  She has been complaining of stomach pain for almost 2 yrs now, lost alot of weight now weighing almost 36 lbs. and is 43 inches tall.  We have seen several doctors and no answers, they told us possible IBS but we followed diet and pain was still there.  She also got tested for appendix, etc. and nothing on the CT scan, they do upper GI and she had some inflammation but not bad. She is now on a pill that stops the stomach pain so she can eat.  But lately its fever, pain, and loss of hair. What is going on with my kid?? The school is calling me 4 out 5 days. And none of this is social problems, she is a straight A student and tons of friends. She was born premature~could this have any effects on her at 6?
Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history and want of finding the proper diagnosis. First - forget about pre-maturity and relation to the present problem; there may not be any relation at all.  You say: CT scan was normal and is suffering for the last 2 years; and lately→ fever, pain, and loss of here hope Tidal test for Typhoid is negative. She has been treated for worms too, Tuberculosis has been ruled out. There are rare problems:: like abdominal epilepsy and so on- Gabapentin works- but you have to discuss this with a senior and well experienced Pediatrician / Pediatric Surgeon... Also go for enterocytes. CT alone is not sufficient in few cases.
