Question Posted Wednesday January 12 2005, 1:32 pm
I don't know why, but my stomach always hurts. It hurts at LEAST once a week. And it's not cramps, it's just like a stomach ache. But I get them all the time! I hate it, and I don't know what to do. The other day I got one in school and I had to go to my next class and I was afraid I'd get sick. I mean, I never do, but it feels like it. Does anybody know what this is, and what I can do?

Take the flavored kind. They are better then the boring ones anyways. Just lay down for a hour before you would usually go to bed and make sure you bed is comfortable and all your clutter is off-trix [ bAhAmAmA0250's advice column | Ask bAhAmAmA0250 A Question ]

You could have the makings of an ulcer, which is often stress-related. This can be helped with medication, but you should also talk with a counsellor, so your mom is really necessary at this point, too. Do you keep your emotions bottled up inside and not tell people how you are feeling about something? Your mom, believe it or not, can be very helpful. Parents are more understanding than we give them credit. They've been through a lot more than we'll ever know -- ask her/them.
Seriously, though. Talk with your mom. Ask her to take you to a doctor -- or a counsellor -- or both. Hope I helped. [ Shelbyjune's advice column | Ask Shelbyjune A Question ]

Karen answered Wednesday January 12 2005, 1:42 pm: This happens to me everyday. I don't eat breakfast on school days and I have been doing that since 5th grade and now I'm in the 8th grade. Do you eat breakfast? Well if you don't, this may be the reason why you are getting stomach aches. I don't know what you could do because mine just lasts for a while and I just relax and not think of it. It's just a stomach ache. Just go to your doctor and tell him or her about this. Hope I helped :)
