My daughter is 11 years old and complaining about stomach pains and nauseous. Took her to the doctor. they had ultra sound done and blood tests. the bloods were clear but the ultra sound said mesentric nodes enlarged. they have put her onto antibiotics. Please help and tel me is there a special diet she should follow to help. She does sport and not sure if she should keep on with the practice as she complains it hurts even with dancing. Regards sharon Louw

Hi Sharon, Here is the solution to your query: You can add vegetable soups to her diet like that of carrot (mixed with spinach, kale , broccoli, onion), but, make sure that you boil water on low flame for at least one hour. While on this broth and liquid diet she should take clear sodas, sports drinks, fruit juices (without pulp), popsicles, jello and water. After 2-3 days of this diet she can move to soft food diet. Then after a week she can go for raw vegetables, fruits, meat, and other types of food. Though this diet recommendation has benefited in most of the cases, yet you should consult her physician before trying anything new. Healthcareveda Team wishes your daughter all the very best!!!

Sir/Madam, My son aged 2 1/2 years has been suffering from stomachache since two weeks. His weight is 10 kg only. Though he is not continuously informing about the pain in stomach but often he is reporting the same. We consulted the doctor he prescribed some antibiotic syrups. After a week to 10 days he suffered with nausia one time and motions some time. After explaining the situation to the doctor he suggested for blood and urine test and ultra scanning of abdomen. Blood tests are normal just the Himoglobin percentage is less compare to actual. He has Himoglobin as 10.4 only while actual normal has to be between 13.5-18.5 as per their report. But in the matter of T.W.B.C. he has 12900 cells/cu mm while actual should be between 4000-11000. It seems much than actual. Regarding ultra scanning report all the report is normal. But at the end of the report they mentioned "Few enlarged mescentric lymph nodes are noted in epigastrium and umbillical regions, largest one measuring 15x8 mm. They givne the impression as: Feature suggestive of mescentric lymphadenopathy. *Suggested clinical correlation and further evaluation. After going through the report our regular doctor prescribed cyclopam for pain, zifi for cough/cold or as antibiotic. As we are not satisfied with the treatment of the doctor, I brought my son to another doctor where he given us lot of courage saying that this is the normal problem in children and it will be cured. He prescribed OFSIVITA, ENTEROGERMINA, Z & D, JUNIOR LANZOL, D-TUS FOR FIVE DAYS AND ADVISED TO STOP THE MEDICINE AFTER THE SAID PERIOD AND THE DISEASE WILL CURE ITS OWN. There is no fever, continous motions, vomitings, night swet are noted in my son. But he is looking like too weak and not active than the previous days. He is playing but not with previous excitement. For the past few days we are trying to give liquid food to him. That may be one of the cause for his weakness. But his digestive power is too low since his birth. In this regard, some people are scaring us that if we not take good treatment, this is may be leads to different diseases. Sir, We are in too much tension. WE are also not eating our food properly. We hope that you will help us in this regard for advicing us as well as giving courage. Kindy suggest best cautions to be taken, medicine to be used, and the food to be given. We are in need of early reply sir. Thanking you, God may bless you. Muhammad Siddiq Bhimavaram W.G. Dist., Andhra Pradesh 9848677137

I urge you to ask your doctors about the possibilty of Crohns Disease. I had the same symptoms as a child that went undiagnosed for 20 years. Englarged messentric lymph nodes with abdominal pain, naseau and vomitting that does not improve can be GI related. Get a referral and see a gastroenterologist.

Dear sir, The basic preventive measure for curing your daughter's Mesentric lymph nodes is that she should take proper rest. Apart from this, you can apply warm, wet compress to your ward. You can do so by dipping a cloth in hot water then squeeze it and pat on the problematic area of your child. As for the diet matter, you can add mix vegetables soup in this pattern. It should be made with carrot, spinach, kale and broccoli. Along with it she can also try out some fruit juices. And after some days of improvement, you can move her to a bit soft food diet. Thereafter, taking normal meals like meat or other dishes will be fine but in minimal amount. Do not forget to consult her doctor before starting with anything new in her diet or daily care regime at home. The reason is every individual is different and so is the condition.

I am not suffer from other factors like vomitting, fever, headache, . my abodomen just pains nothing other. plz suggest and conveince me. THANKS

Dear Anup, We are really concerned about your problem. You may be suffering from dual attack of the diseases of jaundice and lymph nodes. In both these conditions, the symptom of abdominal pain is seen. In the first distress, the pain in the stomach arises due to an increased level of bilirubin which blocks the proper flow of bile. On the other hand, since you are also a patient of lymph nodes, so you are suffering from a severe pain in your abdomen even after you have been diagnosed with a mild jaundice. However, there is a form of jaundice called obstructive jaundice. It is caused due to the enlargement of the lymph nodes. In this problem, enlarged lymph nodes are found around the common bile duct. So do not get confused when it comes to noticing about the symptom of abdominal pain. Your pain is not removing because of this illness. So get yourself checked properly again. And your doctor is right that if you will take any hard medication during jaundice then you may suffer form any other severe distress. So take care of yourself and do not worry. Also, if you are not satisfied with your present treatment then you can get yourself checked with a better medical practitioner. Get a diet chart from him and follow it.

dear sir, I have experiencing random reoccurring pain in my stomach. It hurts that it affects my right leg and right testicles. It was found out in my abdominal ultrasound that three of my mesentric lymph nodes are enlarged as big as 5x5cm. While I had my biopsy to check out whether my enlarged lymph nodes are malignant or not I experienced an intense pain in my right leg. The procedure used by the doctor is ultrasound guided biopsy. The results of the procedure shows that there is no atypical cells seen but amorphous eosinophilic materials present. the results for me is vage. Is it ruled-out that i am safe from lymphoma or is it just an ordinary case of lymph enlargement? I'm just wondering because I have had experience my stomach ace for more than 10 years. the doctor just prescribed me for some expensive pain killers that only relieves pain at a time. but must i carry the burden of this annoying pain for the rest of my life without finding permanent cure?

Dear Arc, We are very much concerned about your distress. You are suffering from mesenteric lymph nodes. This is a problem in which there occurs an inflammation on lymph nodes of the wall of the mesentery (the covering of the intestines). Mainly this illness arises due to a viral attack on your abdomen. This may arise if you are taking a poor diet or exposing your body to an unhealthy atmosphere. It results in the stretching of the walls of the intestines, so you are facing a continuous abdominal pain. And since mesenteric lymph nodes are located above your legs and testicles, so you are suffering from a severe pain in these areas. The permanent cure for this problem is that get your diseased portion removed through a surgical operation. You should also keep a check on the type of diet you are taking and the general cleanliness around you. This is because you may again face this illness if you follow a filthy living and a poor diet. So, change the way you live and take care of your well-being. We are always there to help you.. do ask if still u find any confusion!!! Regards, Healthcareveda.com

After a week of looking around for helpful information, yours has been the most informative. I'm a 35 yr old male. I have had sporadic stomach pain for 9 days - beginning in the LLQ but eventually spasms spread throughout my abdomen and through my urethra. My doc did a general exam, and did not seem too concerned as we both figured I may be passing a kidney stone. I ended up in the ER a few nights later because the Doc's diagnosis seemed to vague and the pain was severe. Following a CT scan, it was determined that there was no kidney stone, my appendix was in fine shape, and I did not have diverticulitis. The ER Doc 'believed' I have Mesentric Lymphadenitis. Its been 7 days since the diagnosis and while I am comforted somewhat by the CT scan, I still experience the spasmodic pain 3-5 times per day, all throughout the abdominal region, lasting for 2 - 7 min. I'd like to know if this is a viral or bacterial infection. Also, I'd like to be certain that this is not a food related allergic reaction. Can you provide any additional insights or suggestions for addressing this issue? Thanks ~
