Reveals the spectrum of eating behaviors in gut–brain interaction disorders, highlighting the need for clear definitions and management strategies.
Key Points Eating behaviors exist along a spectrum, particularly in the context of disorders of gut–brain interaction (DGBI), ranging from adaptive dietary modifications for symptom management to problematic eating behaviors that may progress to maladaptive eating disorders such as avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). Distinguishing adaptive dietary modifications from maladaptive disordered eating is essential for accurate assessment and tailored management of patients with DGBI. International consensus on ARFID terminology, screening, and management in the context of DGBI is needed.
