Something of a mystery was (and still is) going on with my 5 year old’s tummy. It starts to hurt and has happened a handful of times over the last two weeks out of nowhere. The doctors originally thought it was an infection, but turns out they are stumped at what could be causing this after things came back negative for an infection after a trip to the hospital.

Safe to say that this situation definitely is a stressful one. We think it may be related to some type of food intolerance and are trying to log her diet over the course of a few days. Something about seeing your little kids not feel well is extra tough and it’s hard when there isn’t much that you can do for them other than to let them rest.

Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this soon. She has periods where she ends up feeling better, but then the stomach pains come back. She’s missed a lot of school already because of this and it’s something that we need to nail down the cause of so we can help control the issues. Fingers crossed that we figure this out soon!
