Summary
This study at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is observing 90 children aged 8-18 with and without irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Participants wear a wireless patch on their belly to measure gut muscle activity, record their diet, and provide stool and urine samples. The goal is to understand how food and gut movement relate to IBS symptoms, which could lead to better, personalized diet treatments.
