He has be acting normal and the singular pain that he have is when he is about to own a bowel movement then he say that his stomach hurts. I have be giving him pepto bismol. Does anyone have any model what this could be?

Answers:
Now, I'm not a doctor okay...not yet anyway, so I'll ecstatically defer to a kiddie-doc if one answers your question.

My first put somebody through the mill would be, what has your kid be eating? Do you enjoy any pets? A cat or dog perhaps?

This sounds suspiciously approaching something called Giardia, which is a parasite that's found within fecal matter...I won't procure into the particulars of what the little monster does while it's inside of you, but it's one of the few things that can be transferred from your pets to you (many of the things that afflict household pets are completely safe to us) but giardia is one exception to this rule. The kicker is that this little bug can affect both children and adults, so it's important to clutch care when cleaning up any fecal things you may come in contact near.

Now, lets read out you don't have any pets whatsoever...does your child own a sandbox in the backyard explicitly uncovered? Or one at his pre-school or day-care center? Do they cover it? If not, this could be the source of the infestation...cats (and dogs as well) are amazingly indiscriminating about where on earth they leave their carve, and most cats look at sandboxes as a giant heaven...judge about it similar to a Kitty public bathroom.

So this is my suggestion: Go to the office of your pediatric doc...solely when you do, take a stool preview with you...it's not going to be the most solid way of doing things, but it's a start and if the giardia parasite is present, it should (even though the preview was taken from a non-sterile environment) frothy the charts up like Chunnukah candles.

More times than not, the little one won't even know that he's ingested sand or dirt or whatnot that's be tainted, so if he give you a confused look about where on earth he might have gotten this from, don't be alarmed...I have to taste everything within sight till I be in Kindergarten.

Giardia can later anywhere from 2-6 weeks (my guess is that you're not willing to simply wait it out) in attendance are cases where symptoms become chronic and final longer into the length of months or years. If you own seen counterbalance loss in your little one, I'd utter that's a good bet that he have the parasite and it's time to go and see the doctor anyway.

I would be remiss to read aloud that it may not be giardia at all (it's newly conjecture from what you've written). Diet, dehydration, and other way more serious problems may be at mitt...it's very major that when you go and hold him to the doc that you bring as good and accurate a story of when this presentation began to the present time, it'll cut out a lot of the leg work that your Ped have to go through...but later, you're a mom and you know this.

If it does turn out to be giardia and you do have pets, after you finish getting your son squared away, engender sure you take your pets surrounded by to get checked out, you never know if they are the course of the infestation (and it's not as though they can talk), you never know when our little friends near four legs are unknowingly infecting the environment they reside in.

I hope adjectives goes powerfully and the little guy is back out playing and ingestion glue contained by no time!
