Estrés, depresión, ansiedad y el hábito alimentario en personas con síndrome de intestino irritable

“…En general, Kayar y colaboradores (43) encontraron que, de 200 pacientes, 118 (59%) eran mujeres y 92 (41%) eran varones. La puntuación en las pruebas de actitudes alimentarias (eating attitudes test [EAT]) fue significativamente superior en el grupo de SII (cociente de probabilidades: 5,3; intervalo de confianza [IC] del 95%: 4,3-9,3; p < 0,001).…”

Disordered eating and eating competence in members of online irritable bowel syndrome support groups

“…Other studies found no significant differences in EDE‐Q and EDI scores between patients with IBS and healthy controls, though a higher rate of specific disordered eating behaviors (e.g., skipping meals and vomiting after eating as a means of controlling symptoms) and thoughts of vomiting as a means of weight control were noted 7,8 . EAT‐26 scores have been shown to be higher among patients with IBS compared to controls, and IBS severity was positively associated with EAT‐26 scores 4 . Overall, existing evidence suggests that patients with IBS exhibit more warning signs for disordered eating compared to patients with organic gastrointestinal (GI) disorders and healthy controls.…”

“…Existing evidence suggests that disordered eating likelihood is high among patients with IBS and other DGBIs. In cross‐sectional studies using a variety of validated tools including the 26 Item Eating Attitudes Test (EAT‐26), the 40 Item Eating Attitudes Test (EAT‐40), the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI), the Eating Disorders Examination Questionnaire (EDE‐Q), and the SCOFF Questionnaire, 23%–48% of patients with IBS screened positive for disturbed eating patterns or possible eating disorder (ED) symptoms 2–8 . These symptoms include self‐induced vomiting, weight and shape concerns, drive for thinness, dietary restraint, food preoccupation, and emotional dysregulation 2–8 .…”

Studies examining the broader population of patients with DGBIs found that approximately 20% screened positive for possible avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) based on their scores on the Nine Item ARFID Screen (NIAS) 9,10 .…”
