Summary

This study looked at 163 children aged 7-12 with chronic belly pain (like irritable bowel syndrome) to see if simple tests could predict whether they would benefit more from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or a low FODMAP diet. The goal was to personalize treatment and avoid trial-and-error. The study is complete, and results may help doctors choose the right therapy for each child.
