Relationship Between Abdominal Symptoms and Fructose Ingestion in Children with Chronic Abdominal Pain.

Background: Limited valid data are available regarding the association of fructose-induced symptoms, fructose malabsorption, and clinical symptoms.

Aim: To develop a questionnaire for valid symptom assessment before and during a carbohydrate breath test and to correlate symptoms with fructose breath test results in children/adolescents with functional abdominal pain.

Methods: A Likert-type questionnaire assessing symptoms considered relevant for hydrogen breath test in children was developed and underwent initial validation.
