O's almost daily belly aches continue, despite being completly dairy free for 2 months. Removing dairy has made a huge difference in his constipation; no more days filled with tears & a dozen or more attempts at pooping. No days on end w/o pooping followed by a giant explosion! Now, he poops every day w/o even thinking about it. It is so wonderful! However, he still complains nearly every day that his belly hurts. Most complaints occur in the morning & evening, he rarely complains at school. He does seem to complain a fair amount in the late afternoon too, though not as much as before bed. The pain seems to be fairly well divided. About half the time it is in his "up belly & all the way up the pipe" & the other half of the time it is in his "low belly". "Up belly & pipe" make me think his reflux is acting up (he hasn't been on meds in 1.5 years), but the "low belly" doesn't seem to go w/ reflux. We are frustrated, confused & want to help him!
His 4 year check up is next week & the belly aches will be topic number 1. I'm thinking we may need to go back to the pedi GI, a 4 year old shouldn't be having such belly issues! I wish that pulling all dairy had solved this too!
