There are so many causes of abdominal pain. Rather than providing a long list, it’s more helpful to consider the following:
•    Is the pain all over, or is localized to one part of the abdomen?
•    What are the features of the pain? Does it come and go or always present? Crampy, burning or sharp? Does the pain stay in one place or radiate to the back?
•    Are there changes in bowel movements: diarrhea, constipation, blood, mucous?
