stomachache

Gut pain problem

A stomachache is pain or discomfort in the abdomen—the general region around the stomach, though the pain may originate from intestines or other organs.

The term covers everything from mild indigestion to severe cramping: I had a stomachache all morning.

Also spelled as two words: stomach ache.
