Abstract
The understanding of abdominal pain, irritable bowel syndrome, and other functional gastrointestinal diseases (FGIDs) in children remains in its infancy, but significant progress has been made recently.1 The concept of functional abdominal pain has evolved from a diagnosis of exclusion in patients with no organic disease to a positive diagnosis defined by symptom-based diagnostic criteria.2 Functional abdominal pain and other FGIDs follow the paradigm offered by the biopsychosocial model, in which biological, psychological, and social factors play significant roles in human functioning in the context of disease or illness.3
