However, gastrointestinal symptoms, if caused by allergies, only occur in exclusively breastfed infants, due to reactions to food allergens in the diet that the mother eats. daily.
Children with pseudomembranous colitis often present with watery or mucoid diarrhea, which may be bloody, straining, fever, and abdominal cramps, usually within 1 week of antibiotic treatment.
In contrast, symptoms of chronic inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis are often insidious, including impaired growth, weight loss, diarrhea, and occult rectal bleeding.
If the symptoms of colonic pain are in the rectum and anus, the patient also has signs of perianal disease, such as fissures, skin, fistulas and abscesses.
For the symptoms of gastroenteritis caused by Salmonella infection, the disease usually causes food-borne outbreaks, which occur in the summer and fall.

A small number of cases of bacillary dysentery present with a sudden onset of fever and abdominal pain, followed by diarrhea. Stools are frequent (average 10-12/day) and contain mucus and blood. In addition to colic symptoms, Shigella infections sometimes cause central nervous system irritation and manifest as convulsions, even before the onset of gastrointestinal symptoms.

Allergic colitis is accompanied by blood and mucus in the stool. Children are generally in good health, but in rare cases, in patients with allergic enterocolitis, the colitis becomes severe and children may develop anemia and slow weight gain.

This is a medical and surgical emergency.
Fibromyalgia may reveal elevated temperature, hematoma, abdominal pain, or complications such as liver abscess, colonic perforation, and peritonitis.

Children with Henoch-Schönlein purpura are quickly recognized by presenting a symmetrical rash, often on the legs, buttocks, and arms. In addition to gastrointestinal symptoms, children may find that they have high blood pressure, proteinuria and hemophilia, and joint swelling.
