Summary
This study tests whether psyllium, a common fiber supplement, can reduce belly pain and other symptoms in children with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) when they eat foods containing fructans, a type of sugar. Researchers will enroll 110 children aged 12-17 who have IBS. Participants will follow special diets and take either psyllium or a placebo to see if the fiber changes how gut bacteria process fructans and eases discomfort.
