AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age 8-17 at date of inclusion.
* Fulfilling Rome IV-criteria for irritable bowel syndrome, functional dyspepsia or functional abdominal pain with a written statement from patient's physician confirming a diagnosis.
* Stable psychotropic medication for at least 1 month.
Exclusion Criteria:
* concurrent serious medical conditions.
* a psychiatric diagnosis, judged to be a more important treatment target than the abdominal pain.
* on-going structured psychological treatment.
* absence from school exceeding an average of 2 days a week the last month is a cause for exclusion since high school absence demands more intensive interventions than can be offered in ICBT.
* on-going abuse or severe parental psychiatric illness in the family.
* since treatment format assumes normal reading and writing skills, pronounced language skill deficits and learning difficulties lead to exclusion from the study.
* lack of regular internet-access.
