- Functional abdominal (belly) pain, sometimes called recurrent abdominal pain, affects 1 in 5 school-age children and adults in the US and throughout the world. We are still trying to find the best treatment for belly pain in children with functional abdominal pain. Peppermint oil has been used for thousands of years to treat belly problems. Peppermint oil is one of the few treatments that helps belly pain in children and adults with functional abdominal pain. Although peppermint oil has been used for a long time to treat belly pain, we do not know the best dose to use. We also do not know how peppermint oil works to help belly pain in functional abdominal pain. We are doing this study to find the best dose of peppermint oil to use for functional abdominal pain and to learn more about how it works. This research study is funded by National Institute for Health A description of this clinical trial will be available on http://www.ClinicalTrials.gov, as required by U.S. Law.
