Chronic abdominal pain is common among children, and the majority of cases are attributed to functional abdominal pain disorders. One approach to treating these disorders is by using psychological therapies.

Participants will complete a baseline abdominal pain and stooling diary to determine eligibility, as well as other surveys.
