Psyllium in Pediatric IBS
Description

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a fiber (psyllium) can change the way bacteria use fructans (a type of sugar) and whether psyllium can help decrease childhood irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms when eating fructans. The main questions it aims to answer are: Aim 1: The effect of psyllium at two doses given with a fructan meal on microbial fructan fermentation (intracolonic pH; H2 gas production; gut microbiome composition; fecal short-chain fatty acids, lactate, glycomics). Aim 2: Determine the impact of psyllium given with a fructan meal on fructan-induced GI symptoms. Participants will first be asked to eat a specific diet over two three-day periods to determine if fructans worsen their IBS symptoms. Those with worsening symptoms with fructans will be asked to participate in the second part of the study. This includes two weeks of baseline (no change in diet) and two weeks of eating a specific diet with fructans with either psyllium or glucose. Participants will be asked to complete pain and stool diaries, submit stool specimens, swallow a pill to capture gut acid levels, and give breath samples.

Peer Mentorship: An Intervention To Promote Effective Pain Self-Management In Adolescents
Description

This protocol matches child subjects with peer mentors of similar age who have learned to function successfully with a chronic pain disorder. The trained mentors will present information to the subjects in a supervised and monitored interaction via telephone and computer for 2 months and encourage participation in skill-building programs. Children will be tested for improvement in pain and functioning at 2 months and again at 4 months to see if improvements persist. The investigators hypothesize that children who received peer mentor support will show more improvement in pain and functioning at 2 and 4 months into treatment than those in a control group who do not receive mentor support.
