Is this the ER that keeps sending you away? I got the same results out of the ER, sometimes they just want to give you pain meds till you can get to see your regular doctor, unless it's a medical emergency they won't do major testing.Take him to the doctor and DEMAND some tests. I agree that blood tests, stool samples, and maybe an ultrasound would be a good idea. He's young, so I doubt he'll need more then that right now. Good luck to you!
