Treatment for FGIDs in children typically involves a multidisciplinary approach, including:
Dietary Modifications: Identifying and avoiding trigger foods, increasing fiber intake, and maintaining a balanced diet can help manage symptoms. Medication: Depending on the specific disorder, medications such as antispasmodics, laxatives, or acid reducers may be prescribed. Behavioral Therapy: Techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help address the psychological aspects of FGIDs. Probiotics: Supplementing with probiotics can help restore a healthy balance of gut bacteria. Education and Support: Providing families with information and support to manage the child's condition is crucial.
