My 5 yr old has always had stomach issues. When he was an infant, lots of reflux, constipation. Then as a toddler he has struggled with constipation and stomach aches. He has been on Miralax for years. The past few months the stomach aches are daily. He is not constipated now, having a bm everyday. The constistancy of the stools seem to vary greatly throughout the day, though. Sometimes soft and then the next one may be hard. His stomach ache is always right above his bellybutton and he occasionally (only 1-2 times) complains of epigastric pain. We have an appointment with a GI specialist in a week but was wondering if anyone has had similar symptoms and what it was. His pediatrician is rather flip about it all saying "he doesn't look sick" but as his mom I know it is not normal to have stomach pain everyday.
Thanks in advance!
