The field of pediatric FGIDs has grown over the last two decades, and for this reason we have decided to publish a separate book on pediatric FGIDs, which is extracted from the main Rome IV chapter material. This book has an introduction by co-guest editors Samuel Nurko, MD (chair of the Neonate-Toddler Committee) and Carlo Di Lorenzo, MD (chair of the Child-Adolescent Committee).Following this are the two updated and expanded pediatric chapters of Rome IV and also newly validated sets of the pediatric diagnostic questionnaires and criteria, a series of pediatric Multidimensional Clinical Profile (MDCP) cases for the Rome IV book, and a set of diagnostic algorithms for both neonate-toddler and child-adolescent. Thus the pediatric gastroenterologist can possess a complete but compact book on FGIDs relative to his or her specialty.

Gut Feelings: The Patient’s Story takes our knowledge about highly prevalent conditions such as IBS and other Disorders of Gut Brain Interaction further by learning from the patient's illness journey. This book offers a deeper dive into the experience of the illness through the patient’s perspective, giving their stories of illness and their experiences with the health care system. Additionally, we learn the key messages that helped them recover or learn to adapt to their illness. Through the use of patient narratives, we find quick connection for patients to identify with common experiences and take these lessons forward to their own medical care. These narratives are also a helpful tool for providers to learn the real world of patient illness experience and their role in improving clinical outcomes.
The MDCP will bring knowledge to clinicians beyond the diagnostic criteria: to provide guidelines about the clinical profile of individual patients that will help in selecting more focused treatment options. The current diagnostic criteria for functional GI disorders helps to classify patients for research studies. However, it does not capture the full dimensionality of a patient's clinical profile. For example an IBS patient seen in primary care may be treated quite differently from a patient with the same diagnosis seen at a major medical center, the latter having with more severe symptoms, psychological co-morbidities or more severe physiological disturbances. Therefore the multi-dimensional clinical profile permits an ability to characterize the patient not only in terms of the diagnosis as currently exists but also in terms of any clinical modifiers (e.g., IBS-C, D, or M), the impact of the condition (mild, moderate or severe), the presence of any psychosocial modifiers, or the degree of physiological dysfunction and biomarkers. This will help to direct the type and degree of treatments .
