[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 397830, member: 1514"] My middle son had horrible stomachaches when he was around your son's age that continued into his sophomore year of HS. He was on ritalin which is a precursor of Concerta. At first we thought it was from the medication but we really didnt want him unmedicated so we looked further. It turned out he had the beginnings of peptic ulcers and was lactose intolerant. Doctors put him through a gamut of tests and he ended up with a few medications for his tummy plus we cut out all dairy for him. He had these pills he called "tummy cloud" pills because he swore they made his stomach feel like it was filled with clouds when he hurt so badly. LOL. When things got really bad we ended up at the ER and he swallowed some nasty junk that just numbed the entire GI tract. We ended up figuring out that the ulcers came from a combo of the lactose problems and stress from living in a house with bipolar people. We were slowly able to allow him to have dairy in cooked foods like bread, cakes, cookies, etc but he still has problems with milk or ice cream. He still gets extreme pain or even will bleed in his stool. [/QUOTE]
