Thanks guys, my doctor keeps saying "next time" we will refer him to the pediatrician but then he never does, so I guess I will ask for a referral and see if he has any better ideas. (I live in a small town so the Pediatrician is hard to get into)

Rytha - I am going to google that for more info, never even heard of it before. Tht must have been awful!

cmkm - yeah I am starting to wonder about IBS. I have tummy issues that they cannot figure out either (also triggered by a virus when I was in university) and so they said it is probably IBS (though mine is kept under control with diet -I think I have GERD as well) and so it is quite possible he has it too. I have never had a "hot tummy" though and no one else seems to have heard of it before.
