Multiple CAM therapies are effective as primary and adjuvant therapies for GI disorders and symptoms. Our study aimed to define the historical use of CAM and interest in CAM therapies in a specialized integrative medicine (IM) clinic among patients within an academic pediatric GI practice in the United States.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a survey of pediatric patients in outpatient GI clinics.

The most common symptoms were abdominal pain (43.4%), constipation (34.7%), and reflux (25.8%). The most common GI disorders were eosinophilic esophagitis (11%), either irritable bowel syndrome or functional abdominal pain (4.3%), and inflammatory bowel disease (3.8%). Prior CAM use was reported by 35.7%. Respondents were most interested in learning more about supplements (36.7%), probiotics (30.6%), and yoga (18.9%).
