5 year old always has stomach ache
my 5 year old daughter always has stomach ache, she doesnt get constipated or anything like that its just her stomach is nearly always hurting her, she doesnt eat much though, so could tis be why she has stomach ache all the time or could it be the other way around that she isnt eating because she has stomach ache?
she is just below average for her weight(only a tiny bit under), but she has always until about a year and a half ago been above average for her weight
do you think like me that it could just be because she is not eating enough or do you think i should take her to the drs to get her checked out?
Answers:
Sarah, I would definitely get her checked out by a doctor. Has she had any changes in her life when this started like maybe starting school or moving or a new person in her life or the loss of someone?
Answers:
no she hasnt had anything changed in the past year and a half since it started, things happened before that, as in 6 months before it started,we moved house and we had a new baby but that was quite a bit before all the stomach ache started. i think i will take her to the doctors just to check it out then, thanks for your help
Answers:
I was the same way when I was her age and it turned out I was lactose intolerant. just a thought. hope she feels better!
Answers:
My first thought is an allergy to milk. I would take it all out of her diet. All dairy - and see how her stomach does.
