Product Description
A road map for understanding and managing children's stomach problems -- from symptoms to treatment, and everything in between
From baby's colic to an older child's complaint of "my tummy hurts," abdominal distress is painful for kids and worrisome to parents, ranking second only to upper respiratory tract infections as the most common reason for non-routine visits to the pediatrician. In many cases, the discomfort is easily remedied and even prevented -- but some kinds of pain indicate a more serious affliction. How can parents make the distinction?
Drawing from more than two decades of experience as a pediatric gastroenterologist, Dr. Joseph Levy offers a prescriptive guide to children's digestive complaints. My Tummy Hurts equips parents with the information they need to help alleviate their children's pain and prevent many disorders from occurring. They'll discover how to ask the right questions, identify problems, recognize the symptoms requiring urgent medical attention, and much more, including:
My Tummy Hurts, organized for easy reference, is an indispensable handbook for parents and caregivers.

Customer Reviews
Thank you Dr. Levy!
I am so happy that I stumbled upon this book while desperately trying to find some guidance regarding my son's stomach issues. The internet has sketchy information and there are not many books on the topic (and none that I could find specifically for kids). This book is fantastic! It is very explanatory and helped me to pinpoint what's going on with my son. The specialists we have seen have been good, but unfortunately too busy to devote a lot of time investigating my child's issues. This book took away my feeling of helpnessness and put me back in control and able to advocate for my child. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
At Last
What a life saver! After extensive research I found Dr. Levy's book "My Tummy Hurts" the best choice. Let's face it, with four children and aging parents, inevitably one of us always has some sort of stomach issue. I felt more confused when I considered the daily news reports of tainted produce,samanella, printed warnings on meat packages, and the obvious demand for isles filled with lactose free, wheat free, soy, etc. items and I was at a loss. I found "My Tummy Hurts" easy to understand and a great guide for all ages. I strongly recommend it!
I LOVE DR. LEVY!
Eventhough I am fortunate to be a patient of Dr. Levy's and can seek his advice directly from him, I have found his book to be a valuable tool in helping with everyday gastrointestinal issues, all of which are clearly explained.
