Hello everyone. I'm hoping some ladies here can help me. I have a seven year old daughter who has complained about belly pain for the last two months. Last month she went to the ER thinking she was having am appendicitis, but the doctor diagnosed her with a UTI and sent her home. So two weeks later, her symptoms reappear and we took her to urgent care. They said she had white blood cells in her urine and gave her abx for a UTI. This time they cultured the urine sample and found no bacteria.
Okay so a few days afterwards she again complained of belly pain. Took her to the doctor again, diagnosed with UTI and found no bacteria in her culture. I asked the doctor to check her appendix and my dd passed the preliminary tests.
She saw her pediatrician two weeks ago and she said my dd is constipated. So my question is what is causing white blood cells in the urine? No one wants to do a catscan on her because they think it's unnecessary.
I was thinking she might be having sensitivity to gluten and dd has been gluten free for a week but still has belly pain. Does anyone else have similar experience? Please advise. My next step is to remove milk from her diet but the white blood cells in her urine remains unanswered. Thanks.
