6yo boy stomachache (胃痛）

[corneyAmber]

Not that I know of except for the LA or GA required


The scope is basically putting a camera at the end of the tube to reach the stomach to see what is going on inside there and if there are ulcers. It will cause discomfort but the technology has improved compared to the past.

Hi Needy,


So how is your kid now?

Actually, my daughter who is 7yrs old is complaining of stomach pain since 2 weeks ago. I had brought her to see GP twice but it does not hep her.

Can you advise me on the procedure to do gastroscopy?
Any side effects?

Thank you.

What does he usually eat ? Is his bowel movement normal ?


Perhaps u can try adjusting his diet (make it lighter, 清淡一点) and see if it helps or not. Perhaps also avoid milk, egg, diary and sugary products. I know lactose intolerance also has symptons like abdominal pain.

perhaps you can try to apply some ointment? i use 吉祥牌如意油 for my ds (7 yrs old) when he complains stomache pain.

hi


why not try TCM?

My son had suffered from constipation problems 1 or 2 yrs back. Seen specialists and they recommended surgery to correct the problem. Was a drastic and traumatic option and so prayed for an alternative to appear.

And we tried TCM. Went for a few massages, took medicine and some behavioural changes (to sit on toilet bowl everyday regardless of whether there is urgency). He can poo poo now on his own.

Why not try it. TCM treats the problem rather than just the symptom. :lol:

My DS and I are also having sensitive stomach, discomfort, usually needed induced burp to overcome. these discomfort usually occur after injestion of fresh milk, cold drink, soya milk, cheese and bread.


To induce burp (not for infant though), use ointment, or rub your thumbs by lightly in and downwards from a finger space below the sternum to the middle of the stomach, about 2 inches above ambilical cord. (dont use this if you are preganant, or post operations).

I learned that diary based and flour based food are not good for bloodtype type ‘O’. (Me and my DS are)

Try taking the liquid from rice porridege when stomach is empty, use unploished rice is the best, as there are more nutrients in these rice, best is organic brown rice (getting more and more expensive, a popular brand used to be sold at $6.50 per pack 2 years ago, now $9.00).

BTW, vegiterian meat are also flour based, can cause gastric problem…

also not very sure about this ... :?

i remember one day when i brought my son to see the doctor when he had fever, and i asked the doctor why my son complained stomacheache, the doctor's reply surprised me: your son might be under stress... :shock:

I recall reading an article somewhere about young kids and stomachache. They may not be able to articulate what is hurting and where and just say stomachache or whatever they are familiar with.


My mum taught me to feel his forehead if DS complains of that. If his forehead feels cool/cold, then it is likely his tummy is hurting.

First remedy we go for is the ‘ruyi’ oil. that one is really godsend.

TCM - child massage is also very good to dispel wind/heat. I rather go for that than to subject my child to western medicine in the first instance. Only if it persists then I will turn to western to find the root cause.
