Summary

This study follows about 185 patients with anorexia or bulimia during inpatient weight rehabilitation to see how their stomach and gut symptoms change over time. Researchers will compare three diet types—flexitarian, vegetarian, and vegan—to find out which is linked to fewer digestive issues. The goal is to provide evidence-based dietary recommendations for people recovering from eating disorders.
