Complex Cases

Recurrent abdominal pain occurs in 10–15% of school-aged children and is a frequent presenting complaint in general practice and general paediatric and paediatric gastroenterology clinics. Patients often have vague symptoms and investigation usually results in a low yield of organic disease. Treatment strategies are varied and often subjective with limited evidence upon which to base them. This chapter includes a general overview, classification, discussion of the complex and multifactorial aetiology, therapeutic approach, and outcome. It discusses a recommended clinical approach for the management of complex cases.

Lactose Tolerance

Five otherwise healthy children, ages 6 to 13 years, with episodes of abdominal pain, experienced the same symptoms with a lactose tolerance test and became asymptomatic on a diet low in milk products. None complained of diarrhea and all had been able to drink milk as infants. The abdominal pain was related to milk and lactose intolerance.

The Relationship

Rectosigmoid motility was evaluated in 18 children with recurrent abdominal pain without evident organic etiology, in 10 children with ulcerative colitis, and in 18 normal children. A heightened response to prostigmine, with increased rectosigmoid motility, was demonstrated in the children with recurrent abdominal pain. The physiologic implications of this finding are discussed, and the relationship of this entity to the spastic colon variety of the adult irritable colon syndrome is noted. Reduced rectosigmoid activity was observed in the children with ulcerative colitis.
