Murray HB, Bailey AP, Keshishian AC, et al. - From January through December 2016, researchers conducted a retrospective review of charts from 410 consecutive referrals (aged 18 to 90 years) to a tertiary care center for neurogastroenterology examination to determine the frequency of Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID; a feeding and eating disorder characterized by avoiding or restrictive eating that is not primarily motivated by body shape or weight concerns) symptoms and analyze its features and related gastrointestinal symptoms.
