Summary
This study will examine 100 children aged 6 to 18 who have had chronic abdominal pain for at least 3 months. Doctors will perform an upper endoscopy (a camera down the throat) to see how often it finds abnormalities in the stomach or intestines. The goal is to understand if this procedure is helpful for diagnosing the cause of persistent belly pain in children.
