stomach ache
Gut pain complaint
A stomach ache is pain or discomfort in the abdomen.
The term is imprecise—it covers everything from mild indigestion to serious illness, and the stomach itself may not be involved: I had a stomach ache all morning.
Children especially use it as a catch-all for any abdominal complaint.
Also spelled stomachache.
