A constant challenge is detecting individuals with organic diseases or psychosomatic disorders from the majority of patients who have a functional disorder including functional dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome, functional abdominal pain, and abdominal migraine. Beginning with a detailed history and physical examination, physicians must determine a differential diagnosis of CAP by applying the symptom-based Rome III criteria to positively identify a functional disorder. These findings should then be further analyzed based on diagnostic clues and red flags that indicate the presence of specific organic diseases and/or the need for further testing. Once a functional diagnosis has been made or an organic disease is suspected, physicians can initiate an empiric therapeutic trial. Since psychological distress accompanies both organic and non-organic abdominal pain in children, a cooperative diagnostic approach involving pediatricians and psychiatrists is recommended.

Initial Approach to Treating Children with Recurring Abdominal Pain 5 steps 1. Reaffirm strong relationship with child/family by taking complaint seriously 2. Perform complete history and physical examination (be aware of psychological comorbidities) 3. Look for red flags that indicate increased risk of organic causes of the pain and proceed to screening or specific testing 1) Screening tests: CBC, ESR, CRP, ALT, lipase. TTG/IgA, UA 2) Specific tests based upon diagnostic clues 4. Apply the Rome III diagnostic criteria and educate family 5.
