Summary

This study looked at how often adults with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) show signs of eating disorders, especially avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).

The goal was to understand how IBD might lead to unhealthy eating patterns, but no treatment or intervention was tested.
