[|Human|] Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here... My 12 yr old son has been having severe stomach pains for months. He had his gallbladder removed 3 yrs ago, because the dr. thought that was casusing the pain then they thought it was chrons disease, then they thought it was acid reflux, now we are going to his 4th GI doctor today. He cries in pain and so do I because I do not know what to do. We live in Chattanooga and I took him to Vanderbilt 2 yrs ago to a doctor and they said it was IBS, I have that nad I do not hurt nearly like what he does. PLease tell me what I can do.
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for your query. This is a bit odd problem. It is difficult to understand why the gall bladder was removed so early. Was there gall stones or gall bladder infection or wall thickness ? The causes of such severe pains in such a small child can be :IBS again is rare in such small child Chat Doctor.  Another causes can be abdominal epilepsy... Appendicitis. Internal herniaIntestinal obstructionRecurrent intususception. I would advise you the following:CT scan of the abdomenBarium studies. Stop all the foods and beverages which you have noticed to have increased his problems till now. Have a second opinion of a Pediatric Surgeon.
