hi.
Many different conditions can cause abdominal pain. The key is to know when you need to get immediate medical care. Sometimes you may only need to call a doctor if your symptoms continue.

Less serious causes of abdominal pain include:

Constipation
Irritable bowel syndrome
Food allergies or intolerance (such as lactose intolerance)
Food poisoning
Stomach flu
thank you...
