It sounds like the cafeteria food may be the problem. I do like the others said and I give them a cup of water. It sounds bad but if they are gonna throw up they usually will right after they drink the water. Then I know they are really sick. Ive been getting a lot of stomachaches and headaches and I contribute it to just not wanting to be at school and looking for a way to get out of class so they get sent back pretty quick.
Kinder's lunch got pushed back by 20 minutes because of a "cafeteria emergency" (no idea what it was?!) so they were all ravenous little beasts by the time they got to eat. I had to explain to a grown adult that sometimes when you're really hungry and you smell food, your tummy growls and kinda hurts because you're hungry not because you're sick. Sub sent me 6 kids from the lunch line!

This is how I know there's a sub in my lower grades! They all come down right before (I'm talking MINUTES!) lunch with stomachaches...
Some of our Jr High kids have had table parties at lunch where they all bring in junk food to share. I had a kid come in with a stomach ache once and I asked him what he had for lunch and it was something like "1/2 a bag of doritos, 3 cupcakes, cookies, and a liter bottle of mountain dew. I sent him back to class and told him that I hoped he learned his lesson.

I am at middle school it seems like lately I have been getting a lot of stomachaches right after lunch usually in the afternoon after 1pm. I mean a lot of them!! I am debating if I should send out a email to teachers to try and keep kids in class and offer restroom instead. Really I cant do much for a stomachache anyways. What do you do??
