Food and abdominal pain in adolescents and young adults

Many adolescents and young adults who suffer from chronic abdominal pain report food sensitivities; which may result in avoidance of certain foods. A research study at UNC investigates which foods patients avoid and what kind of symptoms these cause.

If you participate you will be asked to complete three daily food diaries over the phone as well as a questionnaire on eating and symptoms. No visits to UNC are required. You will receive $40 for completing the study.
