“…Studies from the pediatric literature suggest the prevalence of symptoms meeting criteria for CVS in children and adolescents in the general population are between 0.3% and 1.9%, as high as 6.1% in primary care populations, and 8% to 10% in a pediatric gastroenterology clinic . The prevalence in the latter two studies among children is similar to that observed in our study in adults.…”

“…Functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorders are highly prevalent, occurring in 10%–20% of population worldwide (Saito, Schoenfeld, & Locke III, ; Chang, Lu, & Chen, ; Lewis, Palsson, Whitehead, & van Tilburg, ). These disorders constitute the primary reason for GI referral in pediatric tertiary care centers (Rouster, Karpinski, Silver, Monagas, & Hyman, ) and do not respond well to gut‐targeted drug therapies (Drossman et al, ; Sobin, Heinrich, & Drossman, ). They encompass a range of problems with digestion, defecation, abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, and swallowing without an identifiable structural pathology.…”

Descriptive evidence demonstrates that patients feel that foods are involved in the etiology of their symptoms, and often foods containing fermentable carbohydrates are avoided in an attempt to reduce symptoms .…”

“…Bloating, abdominal pain/discomfort, and changes in bowel function, namely stool frequency and consistency, characterize IBS. GI symptom resolution is the primary reason patients seek medical treatment .
