Stomach pain: Allergy blood tests are not very reliable to detect food allergies. I suggest you consult an allergist and have your child skin tested for foods. If an endoscopy has been done ask for the biopsy results to be sent to your allergist, eosinophilic esophagitis can occur in children with allergies.
