Tummy Ache Over?

My 5 year old daughter has been dealing with a tummy ache for the better part of two weeks. It’s been hard to see her go through so much pain, but she recently finally started to turn a corner. Even though she has missed so much kindergarten, she will finally start being able to go and we just need to figure out what was triggering those tummy aches.

Part of the plan is to keep a log of what she is eating. We are trying to be detailed and to also make sure she is eating only certain types of food. We are also speculating that she may be starting to develop a lactose intolerance. It’s difficult to pinpoint what is the issue since she has no other symptoms besides a tummy ache, but we are still going to try and limit known foods that cause allergic reactions.

Hopefully in the next few weeks, we can triangulate what has been causing the issue. The doctors are stumped as well and we will huddle periodically to figure it out. In the meantime, I’m glad my daughter is finally back to her old self - attitude and all!
