I am looking for validated questionnaires that can be completed by parents or guardians concerning GERD, bloating and constipation. The children (1-17 year olds) have varied communication / developmental delays and many feeding issues which may be related to Vagus and glossopharyngeal nerve anomalies. We have the PASFD (paediatric assessment of severe feeding difficulties). Any suggestions will be great, thanks
Have you considered the Rome Criteria questionnaires? I have found them to be helpful. See link: http://www.romecriteria.org/questionnaires/

The standard tools for constipation assessment include PAC-SyM, PACQoL and the Wexner constipation tools. You can also use the Visual analogue scale for abdominal discomfort. I am unsure if these have been validated in paediatric cohorts but well worth looking into.
