Abstract：
:Many children report chronic abdominal pain that is severe and disruptive to normal lifestyle and schooling. Assessment and management depends on indentifying those with underlying organic disease, such as chronic infection, celiac disease or inflammatory bowel disease, but avoiding unnecessary invasive investigations. In those with a functional gut disorder, the aim of therapy is reassurance, a return to normal activity and symptom control. We address the evidence for the use of investigative and management strategies in situations where recurrent abdominal pain is likely to be a functional disorder. Epidemiological studies of European and American populations show that organic causes are uncommon, and that chronic abdominal pain is a risk factor for functional gut disorders in adulthood. There is a paucity of high quality therapeutic trials, none showing conclusive evidence of benefit. Psychological interventions, such as cognitive behavioral and family therapy are effective, reducing symptoms and improving school attendance. Asian studies suggest gastrointestinal infection, such as giardiasis, are common causes of recurrent abdominal pain, but that functional abdominal pain is also prevalent.
