Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This pilot study aims to establish whether a low FODMAP diet is safe in children with functional gastrointestinal disorders. The practicality of implementing this diet will be evaluated as well as symptom improvement and quality of life. A larger intervention trial, if deemed appropriate, will then follow to assess symptom efficacy in children.
