I realize that stomachache is one of the most common childhood complaints. I am just like most of parents that assuming that the pain in the stomach must be linked to something their child has eaten. However, this blanket assumption does not always hold true, I know that. Stomachaches can be a symptom for a variety of ills, and when I have heard it, I was worried. Can you tell me more about this problem of stomachaches?

It is important to understand children will not only complain about stomachaches if they eat something bad. It is very important to understand what it could be and prevent unpleasant and unwanted situations. For example, children with feeding problems often complain of stomachaches when they come to the table at mealtimes. Because stomachaches are easy to fake, parents sometimes do not give their children the benefit of the doubt. Parents commonly assume that they are pretending in a bid to escape eating a meal. However, it is more likely that their stomachs are knotted with anxiety and that is why it is important that parents try not to make mealtimes a battlefield. The stomach is an organ that reflects extremes of emotion, and parents should understand this fact. A child’s first day at school can make his stomach clench with tension, while excitement can also trigger diarrhea in some children. Stomachaches are also associated with intestinal allergies, inflammation of the abdominal lymph glands, kidney disturbances, and many other disorders. That is why, irrespective of whether it is a mild or severe pain, acute or chronic, everyone should get it checked by the doctor.
