Montelukast in the Treatment of Duodenal Eosinophilia
Eosinophilic GastroenteritisDyspepsiaThis is a single site study of the effect of montelukast on eosinophil and mast cell counts and activation in the lining of the duodenum in 24 children with dyspepsia in association with duodenal eosinophilia in association with measuring the concentration of the medication in the lining of the duodenum. Patients will be endoscoped with biopsies obtained from the duodenum as part of routine clinical care. Participants in the study will then receive montelukast daily and the endoscopy with biopsies will be repeated on day 21 to measure cell counts and activation and tissue montelukast levels. Cell counts and measures of activation will be compared to pre-treatment levels.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) for Children With Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders
Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (FGID)FGID According to the Rome III Criteria3 moreThe purpose of the trial is to develop a treatment protocol to be used in trials studying internet-delivered CBT for children with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID). The study size is not based on power calculations but the estimated sample necessary to develop a treatment protocol. This study will include 20-30 children with FGID and their parents who will be treated individually (face-to-face). The treatment consists of 10 weekly sessions of exposure-based CBT. The study uses a pre- post-design with no control group.
Does Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth Contribute to Functional Dyspepsia
Functional DyspepsiaSmall Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth1 moreThe prevalence of functional dyspepsia (FD) is estimated to be 15% of the adult population. FD is commonly described as a condition of chronic abdominal discomfort localized to the upper abdomen. Postprandial bloating, pain, nausea, vomiting, belching, and early satiety are common symptoms of the FD patient. FD is defined by >12 weeks of symptoms, which need not be consecutive, within the preceding year consisting of a) persistent or recurrent dyspepsia and b) an absence of organic disease after a gastrointestinal endoscopy or x-ray series. FD is therefore considered a disorder of function because no mucosal pathology is seen in these patients, as in patients with other functional disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and fibromyalgia (FM). There is a remarkable degree of overlap among these three disorders. These 3 disorders share the finding of hypersensitivity and the symptom of postprandial bloating to suggest the possibility of a common origin.
