Summary
Peppermint oil has shown to be effective in the treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
symptoms in adults. Few studies of low quality are performed in an paediatric setting.
Therefore, the investigators will conduct a multicenter randomized, placebo controlled trial
to investigate the effects of an eight-week peppermint oil treatment in paediatric IBS or
Functional Abdominal Pain - Not otherwise specified (FAP-NOS) patients.
