A 14-year-old girl presents to her primary care provider with a 3-to-4-month history of abdominal pain. Several mornings each week, the patient awakens with epigastric and periumbilical pain, and she does not want to eat breakfast. Eating makes her pain worse, and she does have some nausea. She does not have diarrhea, constipation, or blood in her stool. She has not gained weight since her last visit 6 months ago. On physical examination, she is a healthy-appearing, Tanner Stage IV adolescent whose weight and height are at the 50th percentile for age. Her abdomen is soft but mildly tender throughout.
