Summary

This study is testing whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) can help children with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) – chronic gut issues without a clear physical cause. Researchers will give 100 children either FMT or standard drugs and track changes in symptoms like pain and sleep quality. The goal is to see if restoring healthy gut bacteria can ease these common but hard-to-treat problems.
