Notes
Question asked: "How severe is your abdominal distension/tightness?"
Participants were asked to move a slider to choose a number from 0 to 10, with 0 meaning "no distension" and 10 meaning "very severe". Participants using an older browser were asked to select a button from 0 to 10.
The question in this field was taken from the IBS Severity Scoring System used with the authors' permission.
