简要总结
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.

结局指标
主要结局
Energy and nutrient intake
时间窗: Baseline, 6 weeks
Energy and nutrient intake will be assessed using a 4-day estimated food diary at baseline and 6-weeks after dietary intervention. Comparison will be made between baseline and 6-week data and with United Kingdom (UK) Reference Nutrient Intakes.
次要结局
- Anthropometry: weight and mid-arm circumference(Baseline, 6 weeks)
- Practicality of the FODMAP diet; impact of diet on Functional Gastro-Intestinal .Disorders (FGID) symptoms and stools(Baseline, 6 weeks)
