Gastrointestinal symptoms in healthy, full-term infants under 7 months of age
It all begins with an idea.
In this study of 320 infants, we found that symptoms of gastrointestinal distress as measured by the Infant Gastrointestinal Symptoms Questionnaire (IGSQ) decreased with increasing age over the first 7 months of life. Reference values for the IGSQ are provided for infants under 7 months old to guide score interpretation. In this study, the IGSQ had acceptable internal consistency reliability and concurrent validity.
