Get more tests or...: Repeatedly negative tests can either reassure (those seeking to rule out pathology) or frustrate (those convinced something is wrong despite negative results). Be especially concerned if your son is falling off his height ; weight curves, awakens from sleep with distress, has symptoms that are worsening in intensity ; frequency, is passing blood, missing a lot of school, has medical risk factors.

Constipation: My take: not completely emptying his bowels-stool remains and causes symptoms. Rx: MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) laxative powder (otc) mix 1 capful into 6-8 oz favorite beverage and offer daily for 5-7 days until stool is soft and peanut butter consistency. Always make an appt. For poop-usually after a meal to completely empty his bowels. Diet is the key: 5 servings fruis/roots/veggies a day with fluids!
