I had my gallbladder removed almost 20 years ago, and still had recurrent similar stomach aches. Turned out I had a gallstone left in my common bile duct. I also had pancreatitis- I felt like screaming "I told you I had a stomach ache- quit shoving enzymes at my overweight self!"(I don't take enzymes). I also recently was treated for H pylori, which can cause stomach ulcers- I didn't have ulcers, but my reoccuring pain resolved after being treated for that. I also have to drink lots of extra water to keep my liver flushed out (had a really bad liver infection last year- long story) and if I don't, I can start to get discomfort in that area.
I go to a wonderful pediatric GI doctor (even though I'm 36 <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> ) and he has made a world of difference in my quality of life in the last year! I would demand to see one if they are hesitant- my regular cf pediatric doctors didn't help me with my slightly odd GI symptoms, except my routine gallbladder problems. Like has been said, they are cf doctors, but they are pulmonologists first <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0"> . I hope you will be able to get this resolved soon- I know that kind of stomach pain is awful, and it is painful for you to feel like you can't fix it for her *hugs*.
