Effect of the Low Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols (FODMAP) Diet on Control of Pediatric Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Quality of Life Among a Sample of Egyptian Children: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a pediatric pain-dominant functional gastrointestinal disorder that has a negative impact on all children's dimensions of quality of life. A dietary approach that focuses on limiting food elements with high fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAP) can be used to decrease symptoms of IBS. This study aims to evaluate the effect of low FODMAP dietary intervention on health-related quality of life among a sample of Egyptian children.
