Reoccuring Stomach Ache In a Child Posted: 06-27-05 14:19pm
My 7 year old daughter has been
complaining on and off for the last few
days about a stomach ache, I have no clue
what this could be and I have noticed only
that some times it occurs before she eats
but yet sometimes its after she eats, any
ideas?????

Stomachaches In a Child Posted: 07-22-05 08:09am
Sometimes these stomaches are signaling a
lactose intolerance in a child (inability
to breakdown the sugar in dairy products).
She is the same age as my son was when
his lactose intolerance surfaced.
Eliminate all dairy products in her diet
for 2 weeks. If she gets no stomachaches
in that time, you may be on the right
track. There is lots of information
available about lactose intolerance, and
products on the market to help.
