The translation of the Hebrew UCLA SCTC GIT 2.0 scale was reliable and valid with a total Cronbach's alpha score among the participants of 0.908. Cronbach's alpha was particularly reliable in reflux, bloating, social function, and emotional well-being. Our results suggest that our Hebrew version of the UCLA SCTC GIT 2.0 scale can be used as a tool in future studies with Hebrew-speaking patients. In the abstract conclusion, it states that "Cronbach's alpha was particularly reliable in reflux, bloating, social function, and emotional well-being." The related data should be listed in the results section and then an interpretation of the results should be listed in the conclusions section. Please revise.
