Last week was a week full of emotions. My 10 year old daughter has been dealing with stomach pain & nausea for the last 2 years. Initially it was thought that it was celiac, but the tests came back negative. An ultrasound of her abdominal area was also negative. The GI dr we saw in Boston chalked it up to anxiety.

ChasingOm I was one of those kids 20+ years ago, and my mom never let a lack of answers dissuade her for looking for them. Good luck! 6d
