[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My ten year old keeps complaining of stomach aches during meals. He eats a few bites and then goes quiet, looks inconsolable and complains about his stomach, usually feeling better a short while later. The pain itself doesn’t seem to be severe but I’m beginning to be concerned about the frequency and how little he seems to eat. It happens regardless of whether it’s food he likes but I haven’t been able to identify a pattern either. The pain is not linked with diarrhea or poop related stomach cramps though he has (almost) always had soft stools and poops multiple times a day.

He has a pediatrician appointment next week so I’ll bring it up, but I also don’t want to go down a whole rabbit hole of tests if it’s something that he’ll move on from without intervention. This morning I decided to start keeping a record of what he’s eating and what sets it off. Celiac has crossed my mind, but I also wonder if it could just be an allergy or intolerance to something else. Any suggestions are welcome.[/quote]

OP here, was meant to say uncomfortable not inconsolable in the above.[/quote]
