14 year old daughter and undiagnosed GI pain

@mkirby19 - I’m so sorry that your daughter has been suffering so long! It is very difficult to be away from school and friends at that age- two of my children went through “chronic” illnesses in their teens.
Did your daughter have MRI, CT or ultrasound of the abdomen/ pelvis? Evaluating ovaries for example. Another problem causing pain can be related to the hip joint during the growing years.
Do you have a Pediatrician in charge of her care and referrals to specialists?

Thank you, yes we have a primary care who sent us originally to the pedo GI, but we were referred to neurologist by our psychologist. I took her to gyn, they would not even look at her due to her age. No exam just touched her stomach. She had this issue prior to starting menstration, so they felt it wasn’t an overy issue.Gor some reason no one will do an MRI on her. We have multiple ultrasounds but no other x-rays. Sometimes I think they believe it is anxiety nothing more. Thank you for reaching out. I hope your children are doing better since their illness’s.
