Children managed in primary care with a functional gastrointestinal pain disorder will be recruited and studied for this trial. After participants are deemed eligible, they will complete multiple questionnaires and then be randomly assigned (like a flip of a coin) to either guided imagery or deep breathing exercises delivered via a digital media player. Participants will be instructed to listen to the tracks at least 5 days per week for an 8 week intervention period. At week 3 of the intervention period, the participant will complete another 2 week pain and stool diary. At week 7 of the intervention period, the participant will complete another 2 week pain and stool dairy. After this diary is completed, the participant will again complete multiple questionnaires for their final visit.
