Modified Specific carbohydrate diet for 3 months

All children at the start of the study will be subjected to: 1. Full history taking including demographic and medical history 2.

The patients will be assessed using the childhood-asthma control test (C-ACT) as a subjective method 2. Pulmonary function tests will be performed using spirometry (Spirostik, Geratherm) that includes Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second of FVC (FEV1), and FEV1/FVC. 3.
