TRIAL DESCRIPTION
Public title Vitamin D and irritable bowel syndrome in children
Official scientific title Vitamin D intervention in adolescents with irritable bowel syndrome
Brief summary describing the background and objectives of the trial There is growing interest in the role of vitamin D in pediatric chronic disorders and gut disorders e.g. irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). We aim to evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation in adolescents with IBS and normal vitamin D levels. This prospective double-blinded controlled trial will includ 150 adolescents with IBS and normal serum level of vitamin D, patients will be subdivided into 2 groups of matched age and sex. The first group will receive oral vitamin D3 1000 u/day for 6 months, the second group won¿t receive vitamin D. Vitamin D status will be evaluated at start, every 2 months and at the end of study, beside evaluation of different IBS score systems (IBS-SSS,IBS-QOL and total score). 100 healthy adolescents of matched age and sex will be taken as control group.
