Sounds a lot like she has gas -and we all know gas can be painful. A good test for an injury or illness in that area is what the doctor does- he lays her flat, and pushes on her tummy. What he's looking for is a reflexive reaction - that if there is more than gas going on, the muscles will be tight and not easily moved. Ask him to show you how to do that, and ask him what she should take for gas.
If she was in serious pain, from something serious, she'd be crying at that age instead just a complaint about a tummy boo boo.
I remember - a weird thing I remember from being two and three - when I got a gassy tummy, I used to go lay face down on my bed with my pillow under my tummy. And took a nap. Little did I know, but I was positioning my body the best way to let the gas out.

When my daughter was 2 she wasn't having bowl movements regularly and would scream and cry holding her belly untill she had a bm. Talk to your Dr. and explain everything maybe right down any changes in her diet or note any fevers,chills, mood swings and show the dr. so he/she can rule out something more then gas. Hopefully it's just gas. Good luck tomorrow

Sounds like what my daughter and nephew was doing when they were younger. Both complained their tummy hurt and was not pooping regularly. We had get then to drink prune juice or Molasses and warm milk. If it is gas there is a product out there for it for kids. Wal-Marts has it. I think it is by Mylanta. It will help if it is gas only. If she is constipated try the Warm Milk and Molasses Good Luck!!

Apply a warm dry towel to her tummy (iron it warm). I usually fill up a flat bottle with a warm water and put it on my daughter's tummy above the towel. Massage her tummy clockwise in a circular motion with a palm of your hand. She will feel better.

she may need a laxative. An x-ray can tell if her bowels are blocked.My daughter wasn't properly emptying hers and had the same stomach boo boos. Talk to your Dr.

Mine does that too, just before a bowel movement. Make a note to yourself if that occurs soon afterward; otherwise mention it to your doctor.

is she pooping regularly...acid reflux...or allergy....ultra sound is not what you need....that doesn't help with most stomach problems unless it is a blockage
