This observational study aims to understand how diet and gut movement (motility) affect symptoms in children aged 8 to 18 with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Researchers want to find ways to make diet treatments more effective and create personalized plans. You would wear a Wireless Patch System on your stomach skin, which comes with an iPhone app to record your symptoms and meals. The study will look at your gut's electrical activity using this patch. It also explores how different foods relate to symptoms, identifies gut movement patterns, and examines bacteria and chemicals in stool and urine samples. The study is open to children with IBS and healthy children, aged 8 to 18 years old. The main goal is to understand gut electrical activity over approximately one year.
