A member asked:
6 y/o daughter referred to gastro for chronic central stomach pain, what investigations are likely to be done? bladder, bowels, appetite all fine
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: First they will do a good history and physical.. They may do a detailed diet history. May order some blood work and if indicated the big test that is done is endoscopy where they look with a special instrument at the lining of the stomach (while child is asleep).
