Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) are common among children and adolescents. They affect quality of life, cause functional disability, school absence and high health care use. Despite this there is a lack in treatment options. The aim of the current study, embedded in The Danish FGID Treatment Study, is to investigate the detailed course of efficacy of Danish versions of Swedish Internet based cognitive behavioural therapy (i-CBT) programs for children and adolescents with FGID in a Danish clinical context. This will be done using a single case design study. Along with this, the impact of parental illness worries will be investigated.
