Children who experience abdominal migraines often go on to suffer migraine headaches later in life. Abdominal migraines can cause severe stomach pain, nausea, abdominal cramping, and vomiting. What causes abdominal migraines? No one knows what causes abdominal migraines. One theory is that abdominal migraines are caused by changes in two chemicals, histamine and serotonin. Both of these occur naturally in the body.
