Abstract
This is in regards to "Recurrent Abdominal Pain in Childhood," by R.T. Stone, M.D. and G.J. Barbero, M.D. Recurrent abdominal pain and associated symptoms in 102 children were explained on a functional basis, as "irritable bowel syndrome." We should like to draw attention to another organic diagnostic possibility for at least some of the cases.
The tension fatigue syndrome (T.F.S.) is a symptom complex occurring mainly in children but also in adults1-10. The T.F.S. is usually due to food allergy.
