I think your physician is doing the right thing by checking the creatinine after coming down on dose of Lasix, anbd he is waiting for the body to respond to that change in meds. The diuretics cause fluid volume loss which then affects the creatinine. However, if your mom is having stomach pains, you should call physician and notify him/her. This symptom may be result of some other problem or even side effect of some other medication.
