Recurrent abdominal pain can be caused by a number of different illnesses or there may not be any underlying problem at all.

Pyloric stenosis (say: pie-LOR-ick stuh-NO-sis) occurs when the opening from the stomach to the intestine is blocked. This opening is called the pylorus (say: pie-LOR-us). There is a muscle around this opening. Normally, this muscle keeps food in the stomach when it tightens. It lets food out of the stomach into the intestines when it relaxes. Boys have pyloric stenosis more often than girls. (English)
