The paediatric Carbohydrate Perception Questionnaire (pCPQ) is a simple, test-specific questionnaire for a pediatric population. It is a valid instrument with excellent psychometric properties to assess gastrointestinal symptoms after carbohydrate ingestion. The pCPQ can replace non-validated symptom assessment during carbohydrate breath tests and allows a standardized diagnosis of carbohydrate intolerance.
