FODMAPs for FGIDs—just alphabet soup or therapy for real?

Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are characterized by persistent or recurrent gastrointestinal symptoms related to any combination of motility disturbances, visceral hypersensitivity, altered mucosal and immune function, gut microbiota, and/or central nervous system processing that cannot be attributed to another medical condition after appropriate medical evaluation. Perhaps the best known FGID is irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with a prevalence of 8% to 12% in children across the United States.
